PCH1H820MCL6GS

The PCH1H820MCL6GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor from Nichicon’s PCH series, offered as a surface-mount, radial can package. It delivers 82 µF capacitance at a 50 V rating with low equivalent series resistance and high ripple current capability.

Designed for applications that demand high-temperature endurance and electrical performance, this AEC-Q200 qualified capacitor supports operation from –55 °C to +135 °C and provides a long rated life of 4000 hours at 135 °C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 82 µF nominal capacitance with a 50 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20 °C.
• Low ESR — 26 mΩ equivalent series resistance measured at 100 kHz, enabling improved power delivery and reduced losses in high-frequency applications.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple currents of 1.05 A at 120 Hz and 2.1 A at 100 kHz to support high ripple environments and switching supplies.
• Extended High-Temperature Life — Qualified for 4000 hours endurance at 135 °C with specified limits on capacitance change, tan δ and ESR after endurance testing.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification — AEC-Q200 qualified for designs that require automotive reliability standards.
• Surface-Mount Packaging — Chip-type radial can SMD package with surface-mount land size of 8.3 × 8.3 mm; compatible with lead-free reflow soldering up to a 260 °C peak.
• Wide Temperature Range — Operates from –55 °C to +135 °C, with specified impedance characteristics down to –55 °C at 100 kHz.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Automotive systems — Use in power-supply filtering and decoupling where AEC-Q200 qualification and extended high-temperature endurance (4000 hours at 135 °C) are required.
• High-temperature electronics — Bulk energy storage and smoothing in assemblies exposed to elevated ambient temperatures due to the –55 °C to +135 °C operating range.
• Switching power supplies and converters — Low ESR and high ripple current ratings make it suitable for high-frequency decoupling and output filtering.

Unique Advantages

• Temperature-rated durability: 4000-hour life at 135 °C provides predictable end-of-life performance for high-temperature applications.
• Frequency-friendly performance: Low 26 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and a 2.1 A ripple current rating at 100 kHz reduce losses in high-frequency switching environments.
• Automotive-ready qualification: AEC-Q200 status supports integration into designs targeting automotive-grade reliability.
• SMD convenience with reflow compatibility: Chip-type radial can SMD package and compatibility with lead-free reflow up to a 260 °C peak simplifies PCB assembly processes.
• Wide operating range: –55 °C to +135 °C capability enables use across a broad set of thermal environments.
