PCF0G221MCL1GS

The PCF0G221MCL1GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor offering 220 µF capacitance at a 4 V rating. It is designed for environments that demand low ESR and high ripple-current handling in a compact SMD can-style package (φ8 × 7 mm).

Targeted for automotive and other demanding electronics, the device combines AEC-Q200 qualification, a wide operating temperature range (−55 °C to +105 °C) and a 2000 hour life at 105 °C to deliver stable performance under elevated temperature and heavy ripple conditions.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 220 µF capacitance with a rated voltage of 4 V and tolerance of −20% to +20% for predictable bulk energy storage.
• Low ESR — ESR of 21 mΩ measured at 20 °C / 100 kHz, supporting efficient high-frequency performance and reduced power loss.
• High Ripple Current — Low-frequency ripple current of 1.6 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 3.2 A (100 kHz) to handle dynamic load conditions.
• Loss Tangent (tan δ) — tan δ = 0.12 (20 °C, 120 Hz) for controlled dissipation in AC conditions.
• Reliability & Endurance — Load life of 2000 hours at 105 °C with defined endurance criteria for capacitance, tan δ, ESR and leakage current.
• Temperature Rating — Operating range from −55 °C to +105 °C for use across broad environmental conditions.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 176 µA after rated voltage application, enabling predictable bias behavior.
• Surface-Mount Package & Reflow — Compact radial can SMD (φ8 × 7 mm) with embossed carrier taping; compatible with lead-free reflow soldering up to a 260 °C peak per series guidance.
• Standards & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant for automotive-grade and environmentally compliant designs.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Suitable for automotive systems where AEC-Q200 qualification, wide temperature range and extended life at 105 °C are required.
• Power Supply Filtering and Decoupling — Low ESR (21 mΩ) combined with high ripple-current capability supports filtering and decoupling in power subsystems.
• Space-Constrained SMD Designs — Compact φ8 × 7 mm can package and defined surface-mount land size (8.3 × 8.3 mm) make it appropriate for compact module layouts.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple handling: Specified 1.6 A (120 Hz) and 3.2 A (100 kHz) ripple currents reduce thermal stress and extend system lifetime under dynamic loads.
• Low dissipation losses: 21 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and tan δ of 0.12 at 120 Hz lower power loss in high-frequency circuits.
• Long elevated-temperature life: 2000 hours at 105 °C provides predictable endurance for applications operating at high ambient temperatures.
• AEC-Q200 qualification: Built to automotive-grade reliability criteria for use in vehicle electronics and other demanding environments.
• Compact SMD form factor: φ8 × 7 mm package with embossed carrier taping eases automated assembly and helps save board space.
• RoHS compliant: Meets environmental directive requirements for restricted substances.
