Overview of PCG0G272MCL1GS – Conductive Polymer Aluminum Solid Electrolytic Capacitor, 2700 µF, 4 V, SMD
The PCG0G272MCL1GS is a conductive-polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a surface-mount, chip-style package. It delivers very high capacitance (2700 µF) at a low rated voltage (4 V) with low ESR and high ripple-current capability for demanding power-rail decoupling and energy-buffering applications.
Designed and manufactured with automotive-grade expectations (AEC-Q200), this φ10 × 12.7 mm SMD component targets applications that require stable impedance across temperature extremes, long endurance at elevated temperature, and packaging suitable for automated assembly.
Key Features
- Capacitance and Voltage — 2700 µF capacitance at a rated voltage of 4 V with ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage and decoupling.
- Low ESR and Loss — ESR of 11 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, 20°C, and tanδ (DF) of 0.12 at 120 Hz, 20°C, supporting efficient high-frequency operation.
- High Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 2.65 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 5.3 A (100 kHz) for demanding power-supply ripple handling.
- Temperature Range — Rated for operation from −55°C to +105°C, with impedance stability: Z(+105°C)/Z(+20°C) ≤ 1.25 and Z(−55°C)/Z(+20°C) ≤ 1.25 at 100 kHz.
- Endurance — 2000 hours at 105°C under rated voltage; after endurance test, capacitance remains within ±20%, tanδ ≤ 150% of initial, and ESR ≤ 150% of initial specified value.
- Leakage and Reliability — Specified leakage current of 2160 µA (measured after 2 minutes at 20°C) and qualification consistent with AEC-Q200 requirements.
- Package and Assembly — φ10 × 12.7 mm can-style SMD (radial can) with embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing suitable for surface-mount production.
- Soldering Heat Resistance — Meets specified soldering heat profiles in the datasheet with defined preheat and peak-temperature limits to support common reflow processes.
Typical Applications
- Automotive Power Rails — Bulk decoupling and energy buffering on low-voltage automotive power rails where AEC-Q200-rated components are required.
- DC-DC Converters — Input/output smoothing and transient suppression on converters that demand high ripple-current capability and low ESR.
- Infotainment and Electronics Modules — Local energy storage for modules requiring stable impedance across −55°C to +105°C and long-term endurance.
Unique Advantages
- High Capacitance in a Compact SMD Can — 2700 µF in a φ10 × 12.7 mm footprint provides significant bulk storage while minimizing board area.
- Low ESR for Efficient Power Delivery — 11 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces I²R losses and improves thermal performance under ripple loading.
- Strong Ripple-Current Handling — 5.3 A at 100 kHz (high-frequency) and 2.65 A at 120 Hz (low-frequency) enable handling of dynamic load currents.
- AEC-Q200 Rated — Qualification aligned with automotive stress testing for designs that require standardized reliability metrics.
- Wide Temperature and Endurance Specs — −55°C to +105°C operating range and 2000 h endurance at 105°C support long-term, high-temperature applications.
- Production-Friendly Packaging — Embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing supports automated SMT assembly and storage.
