Overview of PCF0G122MCL1GS – Conductive Polymer Aluminum Solid Electrolytic Capacitor, 4 V, 1200 µF
The PCF0G122MCL1GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor delivering 1200 µF at a 4 V rating. It combines low ESR and high ripple-current capability in a compact SMD can (φ10 × 12.7 mm) for demanding power applications.
Designed for reliability in harsh environments, this part supports a wide temperature range (−55 °C to +105 °C), AEC-Q200 qualification, and a rated load life of 2000 hours at 105 °C, making it suitable for applications that require stable capacitance and high-frequency performance.
Key Features
- Core Technology Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolyte provides stable capacitance with low loss (tan δ = 0.12 at 20 °C, 120 Hz).
- Electrical Performance 1200 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance, rated at 4 V. ESR is 10 mΩ at 100 kHz and 20 °C, supporting efficient power delivery.
- High Ripple Current Low-frequency ripple current of 2.75 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 5.5 A at 100 kHz enable robust decoupling and smoothing in switching converters.
- Leakage and Losses Leakage current specified at 960 µA and a dissipation factor (tan δ) of 0.12 under 20 °C, 120 Hz measurement conditions.
- Reliability & Qualification AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant; endurance rating of 2000 hours at 105 °C with defined post-test limits for capacitance, tan δ, ESR and leakage.
- Package & Mounting SMD radial can package (φ10 × 12.7 mm) with embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing for automated assembly.
- Manufacturing Robustness Designed for lead-free reflow soldering (260 °C peak correspondence) per datasheet soldering profiles.
Typical Applications
- Power Supply Filtering Bulk and output filtering for DC–DC converters where low ESR and high ripple current reduce voltage ripple and improve transient response.
- High-Frequency Power Modules Decoupling and energy storage in switching power stages that operate at 100 kHz and above, leveraging the low ESR at 100 kHz.
- Automotive Electronics On-board power conditioning in systems that require AEC-Q200-qualified components and long-term thermal endurance up to 105 °C.
- Industrial Control Smoothing and local energy storage in motor drives, sensor hubs, and embedded controllers operating across −55 °C to +105 °C.
Unique Advantages
- Low ESR for Improved Efficiency: 10 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz minimizes power loss and heat generation in high-frequency circuits.
- High Ripple Handling: Rated for 2.75 A (120 Hz) and 5.5 A (100 kHz) ripple currents to support demanding switching loads.
- AEC-Q200 Qualification: Provides a qualification level appropriate for automotive and similarly demanding environments.
- Extended Thermal Endurance: 2000 hours at 105 °C supports long-term reliability in elevated-temperature applications.
- SMD Form Factor with Tape Packaging: φ10 × 12.7 mm SMD can in embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing simplifies automated placement and handling.
