PCF0G151MCL1GS

The PCF0G151MCL1GS is a Nichicon conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor in the PCF series, optimized for surface-mount assembly. It delivers low ESR and high ripple-current capability in a compact SMD can package for demanding electronic power rails.

Designed for automotive use and AEC-Q200 qualification, this 150 µF, 4 V capacitor provides long life at elevated temperature and is compliant with RoHS requirements for lead‑free assembly processes.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 150 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 4 V with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Low ESR / High Ripple Handling — Specified ESR of 22 mΩ at 100 kHz and ripple current ratings of 2.8 A at 100 kHz and 1.4 A at 120 Hz for robust smoothing and decoupling on high-frequency power rails.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating range from −55°C to +105°C and a rated load life of 2000 hours at 105°C, with defined endurance limits for capacitance, tan δ and ESR after life testing.
• Automotive Qualification — AEC-Q200 qualified, supporting use in automotive electronic systems where that qualification is required.
• SMD Can Package & Footprint — Chip-type radial can in an SMD form factor with dimensions L: 6 × D: 6.3 mm and recommended land size L: 6.6 × W: 6.6 mm for compact board layouts.
• Assembly & Compliance — Compatible with lead-free reflow soldering (peak correspondence to 260°C) and RoHS-compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Automotive Power Electronics — Low ESR and high ripple-current capability make the PCF0G151MCL1GS suitable for decoupling and smoothing in automotive power rails and on-board converters.
• ECUs and Control Modules — AEC-Q200 qualification and 2000-hour life at 105°C support reliability needs in engine, transmission and body control modules operating in elevated-temperature environments.
• Telematics and Infotainment Power Supplies — Compact SMD can package and high-frequency ripple handling help stabilize DC-DC converters and local power domains in telematics and infotainment systems.

Unique Advantages

• Proven High‑Temperature Endurance: Rated for 2000 hours at 105°C, providing predictable aging characteristics and endurance margins for long-term automotive deployments.
• Low Loss at High Frequency: 22 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and defined ripple ratings reduce power loss and heat generation on switching power stages.
• Automotive-Grade Reliability: AEC-Q200 qualification validates the series for automotive design requirements where qualification is required.
• Lead‑Free Assembly Ready: Supports lead-free reflow soldering conditions up to a 260°C peak correspondence for modern PCB assembly flows.
• Compact Surface-Mount Footprint: Small L: 6 × D: 6.3 mm can and recommended land size (6.6 × 6.6 mm) enable space-efficient board layouts.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS-compliant construction aligns with current environmental directives.
