PCG0E332MCL1GS

The PCG0E332MCL1GS from Nichicon is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic, chip-type capacitor in the PCG series, optimized for surface-mount board-level power applications. It delivers 3.3 mF capacitance at a 2.5 V rated voltage with a compact radial SMD can package.

Designed for demanding environments, this part combines low ESR and high ripple-current capability with AEC-Q200-rated reliability and a 2000-hour endurance at 105°C, making it suitable for automotive electronic systems that require stable power decoupling and energy buffering.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 3.3 mF capacitance with a 2.5 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance for predictable energy storage.
• Conductive Polymer Construction — Solid conductive polymer electrolyte in a chip-type PCG architecture for stable electrical characteristics.
• Low ESR — 10 mΩ ESR measured at 100 kHz to support low-loss power delivery on high-frequency rails.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 2.75 A at 120 Hz and 5.5 A at 100 kHz for effective handling of AC stress and switching currents.
• Thermal & Endurance Performance — Operating temperature range of −55°C to +105°C and rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• AEC-Q200 Qualified — Manufactured to meet AEC-Q200 requirements, suitable for automotive electronic applications.
• Surface-Mount Radial Can Package — Compact dimensions L: 1.27 × D: 1.00 cm with an SMD land footprint of 1.03 × 1.03 cm for board-level integration.
• Polarized — Polar capacitor design for correct orientation in DC and power circuits.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Power Modules — Board-level decoupling and bulk capacitance in power delivery modules where AEC-Q200 qualification and 2000 h at 105°C endurance are required.
• Infotainment & Telematics — Supports high-frequency power rails with low ESR (10 mΩ at 100 kHz) and high ripple-current capability.
• ADAS & Control Units — Energy buffering and transient suppression in electronic control units benefiting from the part’s temperature range (−55°C to +105°C) and conductive polymer construction.

Unique Advantages

• High energy density in a compact SMD can — 3.3 mF capacitance in a 1.27 × 1.00 cm package enables board space savings without sacrificing stored charge.
• Low-loss performance at switching frequencies — 10 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and 5.5 A ripple-current rating at 100 kHz reduce power dissipation on switching rails.
• Automotive-grade reliability — AEC-Q200 rating and 2000 hours at 105°C provide validated endurance for vehicle electronics.
• Wide operating temperature range — −55°C to +105°C supports deployment across varied thermal environments.
• Surface-mount compatibility — Radial SMD can and defined land pattern (1.03 × 1.03 cm) simplify PCB layout and assembly.
