PCF0J221MCL1GS

The PCF0J221MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a compact surface-mount radial can package. Designed for demanding environments, it delivers low ESR and high ripple-current capability in a φ8 × 7 mm SMD footprint.

Engineered for automotive and industrial power systems, this part combines a 220 µF capacitance at 6.3 V rating with AEC-Q200 qualification, a wide operating temperature range of −55°C to 105°C, and a 2000-hour load life at 105°C for long-term reliability under stress.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 220 µF nominal capacitance with a tolerance of −20% to +20% and a rated voltage of 6.3 V.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Handling — ESR of 22 mΩ measured at 20°C/100 kHz, with ripple current ratings of 1.7 A at 120 Hz and 3.4 A at 100 kHz, supporting both low- and high-frequency ripple mitigation.
• Conductive Polymer Solid Electrolyte — Solid electrolyte construction provides the low-loss characteristics reflected in the specified tanδ (0.12 at 20°C, 120 Hz) and low leakage current behavior.
• Temperature Range & Endurance — Operates from −55°C to 105°C and meets endurance requirements of 2000 hours at 105°C with defined limits for capacitance change, tanδ and ESR.
• AEC-Q200 Qualified — Rated for applications requiring automotive-grade component qualification.
• SMD Package & Assembly — φ8 × 7L radial can SMD package (size L: 7 × D: 8 mm) with embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing; compatible with lead-free reflow soldering up to a 260°C peak per manufacturer guidance.
• Leakage & Dissipation — Specified leakage current of 277 µA and tanδ (DF) of 0.12 under measurement conditions of 20°C, 120 Hz.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power supply decoupling — Low ESR and high ripple-current capability help stabilize and smooth local 6.3 V rails across −55°C to 105°C operating conditions.
• DC–DC converter output filters — High-frequency ripple current rating (3.4 A at 100 kHz) and low ESR support switching regulator output smoothing and transient handling.
• Infotainment and body electronics — Compact φ8 × 7 mm SMD package and AEC-Q200 qualification suit space-constrained, reliability-focused modules in vehicle systems.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple current tolerance — Enables efficient handling of both low- and high-frequency ripple (1.7 A @120 Hz; 3.4 A @100 kHz), reducing thermal stress on the capacitor.
• Low ESR for improved power integrity — 22 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz minimizes losses and voltage drop in filtering and decoupling applications.
• Automotive-grade reliability — AEC-Q200 qualification and a 2000-hour life at 105°C provide documented endurance for harsh environments.
• Compact SMD form factor — φ8 × 7 mm radial can SMD package offers space savings for dense PCB layouts while maintaining high performance.
• Reflow-capable assembly — Designed for lead-free reflow processes up to a 260°C peak, simplifying surface-mount manufacturing flows.
