PCF1C101MCL1GS

The PCF1C101MCL1GS is a surface-mount conductive-polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor offering 100 µF at 16 V in a compact φ10 × 8 mm can. Engineered for demanding power-decoupling and smoothing tasks, it delivers low ESR and high ripple-handling capability for robust power delivery in industrial and automotive electronics.

With AEC-Q200 qualification, a −55°C to 105°C operating range and a rated load life of 2000 hours at 105°C, this part targets applications that require durable, high-performance SMD capacitance with lead-free reflow compatibility and moisture-proof embossed carrier packaging.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 100 µF nominal capacitance at a 16 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance for predictable bulk energy storage.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Capability — ESR of 27 mΩ at 100 kHz (20°C) and ripple currents of 1.65 A at 120 Hz and 3.3 A at 100 kHz, supporting high-frequency decoupling and heavy ripple loads.
• Conductive-Polymer Construction — Solid polymer electrolyte provides stable electrical characteristics, including tanδ = 0.12 (20°C, 120 Hz) and low leakage current (320 µA at rated conditions).
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating range −55°C to 105°C with a rated load life of 2000 hours at 105°C, maintaining capacitance, tanδ and ESR within defined limits after endurance testing.
• Packaging & Mounting — SMD radial can package (φ10 × 8L) supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for automated placement and board-level reliability.
• Compliance — RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q200 qualified, suitable for environments requiring recognized component reliability standards.
• Reflow Compatibility — Designed for lead-free reflow soldering with peak profile correspondence up to 260°C as specified for the series.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Supports power filtering and decoupling in electronic control units and other automotive modules, backed by AEC-Q200 and a −55°C to 105°C temperature range.
• DC–DC Converters — Low ESR and high ripple current capability make it suitable for input/output smoothing in high-frequency converters.
• Power Supply Filtering — Bulk and decoupling capacitor for board-level power integrity where stable capacitance and low loss are required.
• Industrial Control — Robust endurance and temperature rating address continuous-operation scenarios in industrial power electronics.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: 3.3 A at 100 kHz and 1.65 A at 120 Hz enable reliable handling of AC components on DC rails, reducing thermal stress on the capacitor.
• Low ESR for improved transient response: 27 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz helps minimize voltage drop and heat generation under dynamic loads.
• Long high-temperature life: 2000 hours at 105°C provides predictable end-of-life behavior for long-term designs.
• SMD-ready packaging: Embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing simplifies automated assembly and inventory handling.
• Industry qualification and compliance: AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance support use in regulated production environments.
• Solid-polymer benefits: Low loss (tanδ 0.12 at 20°C/120 Hz) and controlled leakage current (320 µA) contribute to stable performance across temperature and frequency.
