PCG0J272MCL1GS

The PCG0J272MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a chip-type, surface-mount radial can package designed for applications that require high capacitance, low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and robust ripple handling. It delivers 2700 µF at 6.3 V with a compact φ10 × 12.7 mm form factor and is specified for operation from -55°C to 105°C.

Built to the PCG series specification from Nichicon, this part targets designs where power-rail smoothing, high-frequency decoupling and reliable performance under elevated temperature and ripple stress are priorities, including automotive applications supported by AEC-Q200 rating.

Key Features

• High Capacitance: 2.7 mF (2700 µF) capacitance provides bulk energy storage and stability for power rails and hold-up functions.
• Low ESR & Fast Response: ESR of 12 mΩ measured at 100 kHz (20°C) supports low-loss operation and efficient transient response.
• High Ripple Current Capability: Rated for 2.55 A at 120 Hz and 5.1 A at 100 kHz, enabling sustained AC ripple handling in switching power supplies and converters.
• Robust Temperature & Endurance: Operating range -55°C to 105°C with an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 105°C, meeting the PCG series endurance criteria.
• Chip-Type Surface Mount Package: φ10 × 12.7 mm radial, can SMD package with embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing for automated assembly.
• Polarized with Standard Tolerance: Polarized capacitor with ±20% capacitance tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C, suitable for polarized bulk and decoupling use.
• AEC-Q200 Rated: Designed to meet the AEC-Q200 specification for reliability in demanding environments.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Power Modules: Bulk filtering and decoupling on DC-DC converters and power distribution modules where AEC-Q200 qualification and high ripple handling are required.
• Switching Power Supplies: Output smoothing and ripple suppression in high-frequency converters leveraging the low ESR and high 100 kHz ripple current rating.
• Industrial Control Electronics: Energy storage and transient buffering for power rails in motor control, PLCs and industrial power subsystems operating across a wide temperature range.
• Embedded Systems & Communication Equipment: Bulk decoupling and hold-up for processors, power management ICs and high-current subsystems requiring compact, high-capacitance SMD components.

Unique Advantages

• High capacitance in a compact SMD can: 2700 µF in a φ10 × 12.7 mm package reduces board area compared with larger through-hole solutions.
• Low ESR for efficient power delivery: 12 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz minimizes loss and heat generation under high-current conditions.
• Strong ripple current capability: 5.1 A at 100 kHz supports demanding switching environments and helps extend system life by reducing capacitor stress.
• Temperature and endurance rated: -55°C to 105°C operation and 2000 h endurance at 105°C provide predictable aging and reliability data for design validation.
• AEC-Q200 qualification: Enables use in designs requiring automotive-grade component qualification and traceable series-level specifications.
• Assembly-ready packaging: Embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing simplify automated placement and storage handling.
