Overview of PCF1A271MCL1GS – 270 µF, 10 V Conductive Polymer Aluminum Solid Electrolytic Capacitor
The PCF1A271MCL1GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor designed for demanding electronic systems. It delivers low ESR and high ripple-current capability in a compact φ10 × 8 mm SMD can, tailored for applications that require stable decoupling, filtering and power delivery under elevated temperatures.
With AEC-Q200 qualification, a wide operating range from −55°C to 105°C and a rated life of 2000 hours at 105°C, this capacitor targets automotive and other high-reliability markets where long-term performance and robust thermal tolerance are required.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 270 µF nominal capacitance with a 10 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance (−20%~20%).
- Low ESR — ESR of 20 mΩ measured at 20°C and 100 kHz, supporting reduced losses and improved power-conversion efficiency.
- High Ripple Current — 1.8 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 3.6 A at 100 kHz (high frequency) for effective smoothing in switching environments.
- Dielectric Loss (tan δ) — tanδ of 0.12 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz for predictable AC performance.
- Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 540 µA (measured after rated voltage application as defined in the datasheet).
- Lifetime & Endurance — Rated endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C with defined limits on capacitance change, tanδ and ESR after test.
- Temperature Range — Rated for operation from −55°C to 105°C.
- Package & Mounting — Surface-mount radial can (φ10 × 8L) supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for automated assembly.
- Manufacturing Compatibility — SMD type compatible with lead-free reflow soldering up to a 260°C peak (per series datasheet guidance).
- Qualification & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant.
Typical Applications
- Automotive electronic modules — AEC-Q200 qualification and −55°C to 105°C operation make this capacitor suitable for automotive control and power modules that require reliable decoupling over temperature.
- Power supply decoupling — Low ESR (20 mΩ) and high ripple-current ratings (1.8 A @120 Hz, 3.6 A @100 kHz) support smoothing and filtering on DC rails and switching supplies.
- Space-constrained SMD assemblies — Compact φ10 × 8 mm SMD can with embossed carrier tape packaging eases placement in high-density boards and automated production lines.
Unique Advantages
- Low-loss performance: 20 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces conduction losses and improves regulator efficiency in high-frequency circuits.
- High ripple handling: 3.6 A high-frequency ripple current capability addresses demanding smoothing needs in switching power stages.
- Thermal endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C provides predictable life performance for sustained high-temperature operation.
- Automotive-ready qualification: AEC-Q200 rating supports use in vehicle electronics and other high-reliability systems.
- Surface-mount automation friendly: Embossed carrier taping and reflow compatibility simplify pick-and-place and soldering workflows.
- Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity supports global environmental requirements.
