PCG0E152MCL1GS

The PCG0E152MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic surface-mount capacitor offering 1500 µF capacitance at a 2.5 V rating. Designed for robust operation across a wide temperature range, it delivers high ripple-current capability and low ESR in a compact φ10×8L package.

This part is specified for demanding environments with an operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C, 2000 hours endurance at 105°C, and AEC-Q200 rating for automotive applications. It is available in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing and is in mass production.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance: 1500 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C for stable energy storage on low-voltage rails.
• Low Voltage Rating: Rated voltage 2.5 V suitable for modern low-voltage power systems and decoupling applications.
• High Ripple Current: 2050 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 4100 mA at 100 kHz (high frequency) to handle heavy AC currents and switching-mode power demands.
• Low ESR: 17 mΩ ESR measured at 20°C/100 kHz, enabling low loss and improved power efficiency in tight power budgets.
• Leakage & Endurance: Maximum leakage current 750 µA and rated endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C with defined limits on capacitance, tan δ and ESR change after the test.
• Temperature Range: −55°C to +105°C operating range for use in broad thermal environments.
• Package & Mounting: Surface-mount, radial can (SMD) in a φ10×8L size with recommended land pattern L:1.03 × W:1.03 cm; embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing support automated assembly.
• AEC-Q200 Rated: Specified to AEC-Q200, indicating suitability for automotive electronic systems where that classification is required.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics: Low-voltage power rails and decoupling in electronic control units and infotainment modules, taking advantage of the AEC-Q200 rating and high ripple-current handling.
• Power management boards: Bulk and transient energy storage on 2.5 V rails where low ESR and high-frequency ripple capability improve regulator stability and efficiency.
• DC–DC converter outputs: Output filtering and smoothing for converters operating at low voltages and high switching frequencies, leveraging 4.1 A ripple current at 100 kHz.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple-current capability: Dual-frequency ripple specs (2.05 A @120 Hz, 4.1 A @100 kHz) reduce thermal stress and extend system reliability under switching loads.
• Low ESR for efficiency: 17 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz lowers conduction losses and supports tighter voltage regulation in power-sensitive designs.
• Automotive-grade endurance: AEC-Q200 rating combined with 2000 h life at 105°C provides confidence for long-term deployment in automotive and harsh-environment electronics.
• Compact SMD form factor: φ10×8L package with embossed carrier taping enables automated placement in space-constrained PCBs while simplifying assembly handling.
• Wide operating temperature: −55°C to +105°C ensures consistent performance across extreme thermal conditions encountered in industrial and automotive applications.
