PCG0G122MCL1GS

The PCG0G122MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor in a surface-mount radial can package, offering 1.2 mF (1200 µF) capacitance at a 4 V rating. Designed as a higher-capacitance chip-type device, it delivers low ESR and high ripple-current capability for demanding power applications.

Targeted for automotive and other high-reliability markets, this part combines conductive-polymer performance with AEC-Q200 qualification, a wide operating temperature range of −55°C to +105°C, and 2000 hours endurance at 105°C for robust long-term operation.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.2 mF (1200 µF) nominal capacitance with a 4 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Conductive Polymer Electrolyte — Solid conductive polymer construction for stable performance and improved ripple-handling compared with traditional electrolytes.
• Low ESR — ESR of 17 mΩ measured at 20°C and 100 kHz, supporting low-loss power delivery and reduced heat generation.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple currents of 2 A at 120 Hz and 4 A at 100 kHz to support both low- and high-frequency power filtering.
• Leakage & Dissipation — Leakage current specified at 960 µA and tan δ (DF) of 0.12 at 20°C, 120 Hz for predictable loss characteristics.
• Thermal & Endurance — Operating temperature range −55°C to +105°C with 2000 hours life at 105°C under rated voltage; endurance limits for capacitance, tan δ and ESR are specified in the series data.
• Automotive-Grade Reliability — AEC-Q200 rating for use in automotive electronic systems where supplier qualification is required.
• Surface-Mount Packaging — Compact φ10 × 8L radial can SMD (chip type) with embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing for automated assembly.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Power filtering and energy buffering in automotive control modules and electronic subsystems where AEC-Q200 qualification and wide temperature range are required.
• On-board power supplies — Bulk decoupling and smoothing in low-voltage power rails that demand high capacitance and low ESR at 4 V.
• High-ripple power circuits — Circuits with significant AC ripple or switching noise, leveraging the part’s high ripple-current ratings and low ESR to reduce voltage ripple and thermal stress.

Unique Advantages

• High capacitance in a chip SMD — 1.2 mF in a φ10 × 8L package enables significant bulk energy storage while keeping a small PCB footprint.
• Low-loss power delivery — 17 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz minimizes I²R loss, improving efficiency in high-frequency power applications.
• Broad thermal tolerance and proven endurance — −55°C to +105°C operation and 2000-hour endurance at 105°C provide predictable lifetime behavior in thermal stress environments.
• High ripple capability — 2 A (120 Hz) and 4 A (100 kHz) ripple ratings support both low- and high-frequency filtering needs without excessive heating.
• Automotive-grade qualification — AEC-Q200 rating supports use in automotive electronic designs requiring supplier qualification and traceability.
• Assembly-ready packaging — Embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing facilitate automated surface-mount assembly and handling.
