PCG0J182MCL1GS

The PCG0J182MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor in Nichicon’s PCG series, offered as a surface-mount, high-capacitance solution. It provides 1800 µF at a 6.3 V rating with a chip-style φ10 × 10 mm SMD can package designed for applications that require high ripple handling and wide temperature operation.

This part is targeted at designs needing robust capacitive bulk or decoupling in compact surface-mount form factors, and it carries an AEC-Q200 rating for environments where component qualification is required.

Key Features

• High Capacitance — 1800 µF (1.8 mF) nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance, providing substantial bulk energy storage in a compact chip package.
• Rated Voltage — 6.3 V DC rating suitable for low-voltage power rails.
• Low ESR and High Ripple Handling — ESR of 14 mΩ at 20°C/100 kHz with low-frequency ripple current of 2.2 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 4.4 A (100 kHz), enabling efficient filtering under high ripple conditions.
• Temperature and Endurance — Operational temperature range from −55°C to +105°C and endurance defined at 2000 hours at 105°C with specified limits for capacitance change, tan δ and ESR after test.
• Loss Characteristics — tan δ (DF) of 0.12 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz for predictable AC loss behavior.
• Controlled Leakage — Leakage current specified at 2268 µA after conditioning, documented for predictable bias behavior.
• Chip SMD Package and Taping — φ10 × 10 mm chip can package for surface-mount assembly; supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for manufacturing convenience.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification — AEC-Q200 rated for applications requiring that level of component qualification.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Suitable for automotive modules and boards that require AEC-Q200-qualified, high-capacitance SMD solutions within −55°C to +105°C environments.
• Power Supply Bulk Filtering — Use where 1800 µF of bulk capacitance and high ripple current capability are needed on low-voltage rails (6.3 V).
• High-Frequency Power Conditioning — Designed for circuits that demand low ESR at high frequency (100 kHz) to support efficient decoupling and filtering.

Unique Advantages

• High capacitance in a compact SMD can: 1800 µF in a φ10 × 10 mm package reduces board area for bulk storage compared to multi-component solutions.
• Superior ripple performance: 4.4 A high-frequency ripple current rating combined with 14 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz enables effective handling of switching currents and reduced thermal stress.
• Wide operating temperature and defined endurance: −55°C to +105°C range and 2000-hour endurance at 105°C provide predictable behavior in demanding thermal environments.
• AEC-Q200 qualification: Component-level qualification supports use in designs that require industry-recognized reliability screening.
• Production-ready packaging: Embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing streamlines surface-mount assembly and storage.
• Documented AC and leakage characteristics: Specified tan δ, ESR, and leakage current values support accurate simulation and margining in power system design.
