PCG0E821MCL1GS

The PCG0E821MCL1GS is a chip-type conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor designed for surface-mount applications. It delivers 820 µF at 2.5 V with a compact φ8 × 7 mm can and is offered in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing.

Targeted for demanding power applications, this AEC-Q200 rated part combines high capacitance, low ESR and high ripple-current capability with a wide operating temperature range (−55°C to 105°C) and a 2000-hour endurance at 105°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 820 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz), providing substantial bulk energy storage in a chip package.
• Rated Voltage — 2.5 V working voltage suitable for low-voltage power rails and energy-storage applications.
• Low ESR — 20 mΩ ESR measured at 20°C/100 kHz, enabling improved voltage stability and reduced heat generation under AC stress.
• High Ripple-Current Capability — 1.65 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 3.3 A at 100 kHz (high frequency), supporting heavy ripple and switching-power environments.
• Leakage Current — 410 µA specified leakage current after standard conditioning, for predictable bias behavior.
• Endurance & Temperature Range — Rated life of 2000 hours at 105°C, with an operating range from −55°C to 105°C for robust thermal performance.
• AEC-Q200 Qualification — Automotive-grade rating noted in product specifications, supporting use in certified automotive designs.
• Chip-Style SMD Package — Radial, can-style SMD (φ8 × 7 mm) with recommended land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm; supplied in embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing for automated assembly.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power electronics — Bulk decoupling and smoothing on low-voltage power rails where AEC-Q200 qualification, high capacitance and wide temperature range are required.
• Compact surface-mount power supplies — Output and bulk filtering for converters that need high capacitance and low ESR in a small chip footprint.
• High-ripple switching environments — Places where elevated ripple currents occur at both low and high frequencies, benefiting from the part’s specified ripple-current ratings.

Unique Advantages

• High capacitance in a small SMD can — 820 µF in a φ8 × 7 mm package reduces board area compared with larger discrete options.
• Low ESR for efficient power handling — 20 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz helps reduce losses and supports better transient performance.
• Robust ripple-current capability — Specified 1.65 A (120 Hz) and 3.3 A (100 kHz) ratings accommodate both low- and high-frequency switching loads.
• Wide temperature and proven endurance — −55°C to 105°C operating range with 2000-hour endurance at 105°C provides predictable life under elevated temperatures.
• Automotive-grade qualification — AEC-Q200 rating supports integration into automotive system designs where qualification is required.
• Manufacturing-ready packaging — Embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing simplify pick-and-place handling and storage for volume assembly.
