PCH1D331MCL6GS

The PCH1D331MCL6GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor in a surface-mount can package. It delivers 330 µF at 20 V with low equivalent series resistance and high allowable ripple current, optimized for electronics that require stable bulk and decoupling capacitance under elevated temperatures.

Designed for demanding environments, this capacitor supports operation from -55 °C to 135 °C, carries AEC-Q200 qualification, and is compatible with lead‑free reflow soldering up to a 260 °C peak, making it suitable for automotive and other high-reliability applications.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 330 µF nominal capacitance with a 20 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20 °C.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Handling — ESR specified at 19 mΩ (100 kHz) with ripple current ratings of 1.15 A at 120 Hz and 2.3 A at 100 kHz, supporting high-frequency power stages and decoupling.
• Wide Temperature Range & Long Life — Rated for -55 °C to +135 °C with an endurance life of 4000 hours at 135 °C.
• Automotive-Grade Reliability — AEC-Q200 qualified and ESR characterized after endurance at -40 °C, meeting requirements for automotive electronics.
• SMD Package & Assembly Compatibility — Radial can chip-type SMD package sized L: 1.0 × D: 0.8 cm with recommended land pattern 8.3 × 8.3 mm; fully compatible with lead‑free reflow soldering (260 °C peak).
• Regulatory Compliance — Compliant with RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — AEC-Q200 qualification and operation to 135 °C make this capacitor suited for ECUs, sensors and other in-vehicle power systems that require high-temperature robustness.
• Power conversion and DC–DC regulation — Low ESR and high ripple current ratings support input/output filtering and bulk storage in switch-mode power supplies and point-of-load converters.
• High-temperature industrial electronics — Long-life endurance at 135 °C and stable performance over a wide temperature range make it appropriate for industrial controls and high-temperature boards.
• SMD designs requiring lead‑free assembly — Chip-style can package and validated reflow profile (260 °C peak) enable straightforward integration into modern surface-mount manufacturing flows.

Unique Advantages

• High-temperature endurance: 4000 hours at 135 °C provides predictable life performance for sustained elevated-temperature operation.
• Low-loss performance: 19 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces heat generation and improves efficiency in high-frequency power stages.
• Robust ripple capability: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz enable use across a range of switching frequencies and applications.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 status supports deployment in automotive systems where qualification is required.
• Manufacturing-friendly: SMD can package with verified lead‑free reflow up to 260 °C simplifies assembly in modern SMT lines.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity reduces regulatory risk for global product deployment.
