PCG0G221MCO1GS

The PCG0G221MCO1GS is a Nichicon PCG series conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a compact chip-type, surface-mount package. It provides 220 µF capacitance at a 4 V rating with a small φ5 × 6 mm footprint optimized for space-constrained electronic assemblies.

Designed for demanding temperature and endurance requirements, this part targets automotive electronics and other applications that require low ESR, high ripple handling, and stable electrical characteristics across −55°C to +105°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 220 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 4 V and tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• Low ESR — ESR of 15 mΩ measured at 20°C and 100 kHz, reducing voltage drop and improving transient response in power circuits.
• High Ripple Current — Low-frequency ripple current of 1.45 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 2.9 A (100 kHz) to support high-demand power filtering and decoupling.
• Conductive Polymer Construction — Solid polymer electrolyte delivers low loss (tan δ = 0.12 at 20°C, 120 Hz) and stable performance over temperature.
• Automotive-Grade Reliability — AEC-Q200 rating and endurance specified as 2000 hours at 105°C, addressing automotive qualification needs and long-term thermal stress.
• Compact SMD Package — Chip-type radial can (SMD) in a φ5 × 6 mm package with recommended land size of 5.3 × 5.3 mm for space-optimized PCB layouts; packaged in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for automated assembly.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Specified operating range from −55°C to +105°C for broad environmental compatibility.
• Leakage Current — Leakage current specified at 300 µA after rated voltage application, suitable for low-leakage power designs.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power systems — AEC-Q200 rating and operation from −55°C to +105°C make this capacitor suitable for in-vehicle power rails and electronic control modules.
• Automotive electronic modules — Low ESR and high ripple current capability support engine control units, powertrain modules, and other electronic control applications requiring robust decoupling and smoothing.
• On-board power filtering — Compact φ5 × 6 mm SMD package with high capacitance density enables board-level filtering where space is limited and thermal endurance is required.

Unique Advantages

• High capacitance in a small footprint: 220 µF in a φ5 × 6 mm chip-type SMD package conserves board space without sacrificing bulk capacitance.
• Improved power integrity: 15 mΩ ESR (100 kHz) combined with up to 2.9 A high-frequency ripple current reduces voltage ripple and improves transient response on power rails.
• Automotive-ready reliability: AEC-Q200 rating and 2000 h endurance at 105°C provide documented performance for temperature-stressed environments.
• Stable electrical loss characteristics: tan δ of 0.12 (20°C, 120 Hz) supports low-loss operation across typical system frequencies.
• Supply-chain friendly packaging: Embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing support high-volume automated placement and storage handling.
