Overview of PCF0J101MCL1GS – Conductive Polymer Aluminum Solid Electrolytic Capacitor, 100 µF, 6.3 V, SMD
The PCF0J101MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in an SMD radial can package, designed for high-ripple, low-ESR power applications. With a 100 µF capacitance at 6.3 V and a compact φ6.3 × 6 mm footprint, it targets electronics that require stable bulk capacitance, high ripple handling, and robust thermal endurance.
Engineered for demanding environments, this part combines low equivalent series resistance and extended load life at elevated temperature, making it suitable for automotive and other reliability-focused systems where consistent power smoothing and decoupling are required.
Key Features
- Conductive polymer aluminum construction — Solid electrolyte design provides low ESR and reliable conductive performance for high-frequency and high-ripple applications.
- Capacitance and tolerance — 100 µF with tolerance −20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C) for predictable energy storage.
- Rated voltage — 6.3 V working voltage suitable for low-voltage power rails.
- Low ESR — ESR of 23 mΩ measured at 20°C and 100 kHz, reducing power loss and heat generation in decoupling and filtering roles.
- High ripple current capability — 1.4 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.8 A at 100 kHz (high frequency) for effective handling of AC ripple on power rails.
- Loss tangent — tanδ of 0.12 at 20°C, 120 Hz for controlled dielectric loss characteristics.
- Leakage current — 126 µA (specified condition) to support predictable standby and quiescent behavior.
- Wide operating temperature and endurance — −55°C to +105°C operating range with a rated load life of 2000 hours at 105°C.
- Automotive qualification — AEC-Q200 qualified for use in automotive electronic designs.
- SMD package and assembly — Radial, can-style SMD (φ6.3 × 6 mm) supplied in embossed carrier taping / moisture proof packing and compatible with lead-free reflow profiles up to 260°C peak as specified.
- Environmental compliance — RoHS compliant.
Typical Applications
- Automotive electronics — Power rail decoupling and bulk energy storage in control modules where AEC-Q200 qualification and high ripple tolerance are required.
- DC–DC converters and power modules — Output filtering and ripple suppression enabled by low ESR and high-frequency ripple rating.
- Embedded power systems — Local energy buffering and smoothing on board-level power supplies operating across −55°C to +105°C.
Unique Advantages
- Low-loss power handling: 23 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and tanδ 0.12 reduce dissipation and improve efficiency in high-frequency circuits.
- High ripple tolerance: 1.4 A (120 Hz) and 2.8 A (100 kHz) ripple ratings allow reliable performance under heavy AC load conditions.
- Thermal endurance: 2000 hours life at 105°C provides predictable long-term behavior in elevated-temperature environments.
- Automotive-ready: AEC-Q200 qualification supports inclusion in automotive designs requiring component-level reliability standards.
- Compact SMD form factor: φ6.3 × 6 mm package balances capacitance with a small board footprint and is supplied in embossed carrier taping for automated assembly.
- Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance and lead-free reflow compatibility simplify environmental and assembly requirements.
