PCG1A101MCL1GS

The PCG1A101MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor in a compact surface-mount can package. It delivers 100 µF capacitance at a 10 V rating with a chip-type form factor targeted at compact, high-performance power circuitry.

Designed for demanding temperature and endurance conditions, this part combines low ESR, high ripple-current capability and a wide operating temperature range to support robust power filtering and decoupling in assemblies where space and reliability matter.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 100 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a rated voltage of 10 V for decoupling and bulk energy storage in low-voltage systems.
• Low ESR & Loss — ESR of 35 mΩ measured at 100 kHz and a tanδ (DF) of 0.12, enabling efficient high-frequency performance and reduced power loss.
• High Ripple Current — Low-frequency ripple handling of 900 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 1.8 A (100 kHz), suitable for switching regulators and power-conversion stages.
• Leakage & Polarization — Polarized capacitor with leakage current specified at 250 µA after rated voltage application, allowing predictable bias behavior in designs.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating range from −55°C to +105°C with endurance specified as 2000 hours at 105°C, supporting prolonged operation in elevated-temperature environments.
• Compact SMD Package — Chip-type can package, size φ5 × 6L (L: 6 × D: 5 mm), surface-mount radial can (SMD) construction for space-constrained PCBs.
• Assembly Packaging — Supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture proof packing for automated surface-mount assembly.
• Automotive-Grade — Rated AEC‑Q200, addressing reliability requirements for automotive electronics applications.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — AEC‑Q200 rating and extended temperature range make this capacitor suitable for electronic control units and in-vehicle power modules that require stable filtering under automotive conditions.
• Power Supply Decoupling — Low ESR (35 mΩ) and high ripple-current capacity (1.8 A at 100 kHz) provide effective decoupling and smoothing for switching regulators and fast transient loads.
• Compact Surface-Mount Power Modules — Chip-type φ5 × 6 mm package enables higher capacitance density in densely packed power boards and miniaturized modules.
• High-Frequency Filtering — Specified tanδ and ESR at 100 kHz support stable performance in high-frequency signal environments and switching applications.

Unique Advantages

• High Capacitance in Small Footprint: 100 µF in a φ5 × 6 mm SMD can provides significant capacitance where board area is limited.
• Efficient High-Frequency Performance: 35 mΩ ESR and 0.12 tanδ at 100 kHz reduce loss and improve filtering effectiveness in switching power chains.
• Robust Ripple Handling: 1.8 A high-frequency ripple current rating accommodates demanding regulator outputs and transient currents.
• Wide Temperature and Proven Endurance: −55°C to +105°C operating range with 2000 hours endurance at 105°C supports long-term reliability in elevated-temperature environments.
• Automotive Reliability Standard: AEC‑Q200 rating targets systems that require automotive-grade component qualification.
• Production-Ready Packaging: Embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing simplify automated placement and handling during volume assembly.
