Overview of PCG0J271MCL1GS – Conductive Polymer Aluminum Solid Electrolytic Capacitor, 270 µF, 6.3 V
The PCG0J271MCL1GS is a chip-type conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor designed for surface-mount applications that require high capacitance and low impedance in a compact package. Its specification set targets high-frequency power filtering and decoupling where high ripple current handling and thermal endurance are required.
Built to automotive-grade expectations, this part combines 270 µF capacitance at 6.3 V with low ESR and a wide operating temperature range for robust performance in demanding electronics environments.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 270 µF rated capacitance at 6.3 V with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C), delivering bulk energy storage in a small SMD package.
- Low Impedance / High Ripple — ESR 23 mΩ measured at 100 kHz and ripple current capability of 2.6 A at 100 kHz (1.3 A at 120 Hz), enabling effective high-frequency decoupling and power-rail smoothing.
- Conductive Polymer Electrolyte — Solid conductive polymer construction for stable electrical characteristics and low loss at high frequency.
- Thermal & Lifetime Performance — Operating temperature range −55°C to +105°C and qualified endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C under rated voltage.
- Automotive Qualification — AEC-Q200 rating and explicit application listing for automotive use, supporting deployment in vehicle electronics.
- Compact SMD Package — Radial can SMD package with nominal size L: 6 × D: 6.3 mm and recommended land size 6.6 × 6.6 mm for dense PCB layouts.
- Assembly & Soldering — Meets specified resistance to soldering heat per datasheet guidance, including preheat and peak surface-temperature limits for reflow processes.
- RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS environmental requirements.
Typical Applications
- Automotive Electronics — Power filtering and decoupling in control modules and electronic subsystems where AEC-Q200 qualification is required.
- High-Frequency Power Supplies — Output smoothing and transient support on DC–DC converters and point-of-load regulators operating at high switching frequencies.
- Embedded Systems — Bulk decoupling for microcontroller and ASIC power rails that demand low ESR and high ripple current capability in a compact SMD form factor.
Unique Advantages
- High Capacitance in a Small Footprint: 270 µF in a 6 × 6.3 mm package reduces board area while providing substantial bulk energy storage.
- Low ESR for High-Frequency Performance: 23 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz minimizes voltage ripple and heat generation on high-speed power rails.
- High Ripple Current Handling: Rated for 2.6 A at 100 kHz (1.3 A at 120 Hz), supporting heavy transient and continuous ripple loads.
- Automotive-Grade Reliability: AEC-Q200 rating and 2000-hour endurance at 105°C support long-term reliability in vehicle environments.
- Wide Temperature Range: −55°C to +105°C operating range accommodates harsh thermal conditions across industrial and automotive applications.
- SMD Compatibility: Radial can SMD package and defined land pattern simplify PCB layout and pick-and-place assembly.
