PCG0G222MCL1GS

The PCG0G222MCL1GS from Nichicon is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor in the PCG series, designed for surface-mount applications. It delivers 2200 µF at 4 V in a compact φ10 × 10 mm can-style SMD package.

Targeted at systems requiring high capacitance, low ESR and robust ripple handling, this part is suited for demanding environments with an operating range of -55°C to 105°C and an AEC-Q200 rating for automotive applications.

Key Features

• High Capacitance — 2200 µF nominal capacitance with tolerance ±20% at 120 Hz, 20°C, providing substantial bulk energy storage in a chip-type SMD package.
• Low Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) — 13 mΩ measured at 20°C/100 kHz, enabling improved high-frequency performance and reduced power dissipation.
• High Ripple Current Capability — 2.3 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 4.6 A at 100 kHz (high frequency), supporting applications with significant AC load components.
• Solid Polymer Electrolyte — Conductive polymer construction for stable electrical characteristics and reduced impedance across temperature.
• Wide Temperature Range & Endurance — Rated from -55°C to 105°C with a specified endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C under rated voltage.
• Polarized Surface-Mount Package — Chip-type radial can SMD, size φ10 × 10 L, supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for automated assembly.
• Loss Tangent (tan δ) — 0.12 specified at 20°C, 120 Hz for predictable dissipation characteristics.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1760 µA after the required conditioning.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronic modules — Suitable for automotive systems that require an AEC-Q200 rated, high-capacitance SMD capacitor with robust ripple handling and temperature endurance.
• Power management and DC rail stabilization — Use where bulk capacitance and low ESR are needed to stabilize voltage rails under dynamic loads.
• High-frequency power circuits — Effective in circuits that demand low impedance at 100 kHz and significant AC ripple capability.

Unique Advantages

• High capacitance in compact SMD form factor: 2200 µF in a φ10 × 10 mm package reduces board area compared with larger discrete solutions.
• Low ESR for improved system efficiency: 13 mΩ at 100 kHz minimizes losses and supports cleaner power delivery for sensitive circuits.
• Strong ripple-handling capability: 4.6 A at 100 kHz and 2.3 A at 120 Hz accommodate both high-frequency switching and low-frequency ripple currents.
• Automotive-grade reliability: AEC-Q200 rating and 2000-hour endurance at 105°C give designers clear qualification for automotive and other harsh environments.
• Assembly-ready packaging: Embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing supports surface-mount manufacturing processes.
