PCG1A821MCL1GS

The PCG1A821MCL1GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor delivering 820 µF at 10 V in a compact SMD radial-can package. It targets designs that require high capacitance, low ESR, and robust ripple handling in demanding temperature environments.

Designed for automotive and industrial use, the device combines a -55℃ to 105℃ operating range, AEC-Q200 rating, and a 2000-hour endurance at 105℃ to provide reliable decoupling and bulk energy storage where sustained performance and long-term stability are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 820 µF nominal with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20℃ for predictable bulk energy storage.
• Voltage Rating — Rated for 10 V operation to support low-voltage power rails.
• Low ESR and Loss — ESR of 15 mΩ measured at 20℃ and 100 kHz and tan δ of 0.12 (20℃, 120 Hz) to reduce power loss and improve transient response.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 2.15 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 4.3 A (100 kHz) for handling switching and high-frequency noise.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1640 µA after rated voltage application, supporting predictable standby behavior.
• Endurance & Temperature Range — 2000 hours at 105℃ endurance and operating range from -55℃ to 105℃ for elevated-temperature reliability.
• Package & Mounting — Surface-mount radial can (φ10 × 10L) with a surface-mount land size of 1.03 × 1.03 cm, supplied in embossed carrier tape with moisture-proof packing for assembly readiness.
• Qualification — AEC-Q200 rated for use in applications requiring recognized passive-component stress testing.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power modules — AEC-Q200 rating, 10 V rating and 820 µF capacitance make this capacitor suitable for on-board power filtering and energy buffering in automotive electronics.
• Power supply decoupling — Low ESR (15 mΩ at 100 kHz) and high ripple current capability provide effective decoupling for DC–DC converters and power rails.
• High-temperature systems — 2000-hour endurance at 105℃ and a -55℃ to 105℃ operating range support use in elevated-temperature environments.

Unique Advantages

• High capacitance in a compact SMD package: 820 µF in a φ10 × 10L radial can minimizes board area while providing substantial bulk storage.
• Low-loss performance: 15 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and tan δ 0.12 at 120 Hz reduce heat generation and improve regulator stability.
• Robust ripple handling: 4.3 A at 100 kHz and 2.15 A at 120 Hz support high-frequency switching environments and heavy transient currents.
• Automotive-capable qualification: AEC-Q200 rating and specified endurance at 105℃ address the reliability needs of automotive and similarly demanding applications.
• Production-ready packaging: Embossed carrier tape with moisture-proof packing simplifies surface-mount assembly and storage logistics.
