PCF0J821MCL1GS

The PCF0J821MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a surface-mount radial can package, rated 820 µF at 6.3 V. It combines low ESR and high ripple-current capability with a compact φ10 × 12.7 mm footprint for space-constrained designs.

Designed for demanding environments, the device is AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, offers an operating range of −55 °C to +105 °C, and delivers a rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 105 °C, making it suitable for automotive and other high-reliability applications.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 820 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 6.3 V and tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• Low ESR — Equivalent series resistance of 10 mΩ measured at 100 kHz and 20 °C for improved power delivery and lower dissipation.
• High Ripple Current — Low-frequency ripple current of 2.9 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 5.8 A (100 kHz) to support switching converters and high-current decoupling.
• Thermal & Lifetime Performance — Rated for −55 °C to +105 °C with an endurance specification of 2000 hours at 105 °C under rated voltage.
• Manufacturing & Mounting — Surface-mount radial can (φ10 × 12.7 L) supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing; compatible with lead-free reflow soldering per manufacturer guidance.
• Reliability & Standards — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, supporting automotive-grade reliability requirements.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power rails — Bulk decoupling and smoothing on 6.3 V rails where AEC-Q200 qualification and robust temperature endurance are required.
• DC–DC converters — Output-stage filtering and energy storage benefiting from low ESR (10 mΩ) and high ripple-current capability.
• Power management modules — Local energy reservoir and ripple suppression in compact SMD power assemblies operating across −55 °C to +105 °C.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple handling: Specified ripple currents of 2.9 A (120 Hz) and 5.8 A (100 kHz) reduce thermal stress and improve stability in switching applications.
• Low dissipation: 10 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz minimizes power loss and helps maintain lower operating temperatures under load.
• Automotive-grade reliability: AEC-Q200 qualification and a 2000-hour life at 105 °C provide predictable performance for vehicle electronics.
• Wide temperature range: −55 °C to +105 °C rating supports designs that must operate across harsh environments.
• Compact SMD form factor: φ10 × 12.7 mm radial can in embossed carrier tape simplifies automated assembly while conserving board space.
• RoHS compliant: Meets environmental requirements for lead-free assembly and regulatory compliance.
