PCF0J820MCL1GS

The PCF0J820MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a compact surface-mount radial can package. It delivers 82 µF capacitance at 6.3 V with low equivalent series resistance and high ripple-current capability for demanding power applications.

Designed and manufactured by Nichicon as part of the PCF series, this SMD capacitor targets applications that require a wide operating temperature range (−55 °C to 105 °C), long endurance (2,000 hours at 105 °C), and qualification to AEC-Q200 for automotive usage.

Key Features

• Conductive polymer dielectric — Solid electrolyte construction for low ESR and stable performance under ripple stress.
• Electrical characteristics — 82 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance and rated voltage of 6.3 V.
• Low ESR — ESR of 23 mΩ measured at 20 °C and 100 kHz, supporting efficient high-frequency decoupling.
• High ripple-current capability — 1.3 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.6 A at 100 kHz (high frequency) to handle substantial AC stress on power rails.
• Leakage current — Specified leakage current approximately 103 µA after standard conditioning.
• Robust endurance — Rated for 2,000 hours at 105 °C with defined limits for capacitance, tan δ and ESR change.
• Temperature range — Operates from −55 °C to +105 °C for broad environmental coverage.
• Surface-mount radial can — Compact φ6.3 × 6 mm package (L: 6 × D: 6.3 mm) suited to space-constrained PCBs; supplied on embossed carrier tape with moisture-proof packing.
• AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant — Meets AEC-Q200 rating and RoHS directive requirements for regulated materials compliance.
• Reflow-capable — SMD type supports lead-free reflow soldering conditions with peak correspondence up to 260 °C as specified.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronic power rails — Energy storage and decoupling where AEC-Q200 qualification, wide temperature range and high ripple handling are required.
• DC–DC converter output filters — Low ESR and high high-frequency ripple current capacity improve regulator stability and efficiency.
• Compact SMD power modules — Small φ6.3 × 6 mm footprint enables high-density board designs while providing robust smoothing performance.

Unique Advantages

• Low-loss polymer electrolyte: Solid conductive polymer construction reduces ESR for improved high-frequency performance and thermal stability.
• High ripple tolerance: Dual ripple-current ratings (1.3 A at 120 Hz, 2.6 A at 100 kHz) support both low- and high-frequency AC stress on power rails.
• Automotive-capable qualification: AEC-Q200 rating supports use in automotive electronics with defined endurance at 105 °C.
• Long endurance at elevated temperature: 2,000-hour life at 105 °C provides predictable aging and reliability metrics for product design.
• Compact SMD can packaging: φ6.3 × 6 mm package with embossed carrier tape enables automated assembly and dense PCB layouts.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS-compliant materials and lead-free reflow compatibility simplify regulatory and manufacturing requirements.
