PCH1J101MCL1GS

The PCH1J101MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor in Nichicon’s PCH series, configured for surface-mount assembly. It delivers 100 µF capacitance at a 63 V rating with low equivalent series resistance and designed for applications that require high temperature endurance and reliable, compact power components.

Key value comes from long high-temperature life, low ESR/high ripple capability, and industry-standard qualifications and environmental compliance that support demanding system-level requirements.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 100 µF nominal capacitance with a 63 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable for higher-voltage SMD designs.
• Conductive Polymer Construction — Solid conductive polymer electrolyte for low ESR performance; ESR specified at 24 mΩ (100 kHz, 20°C).
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 2.1 A at 100 kHz and 1.05 A at 120 Hz, supporting power filtering and transient load conditions.
• Wide Temperature Range — Operating from −55°C to +135°C with endurance specified for 4000 hours at 135°C.
• SMD Package and Assembly — Chip-type, surface-mount radial can with lead-free reflow compatibility up to a 260°C peak (pre-heat and reflow profiles per datasheet limits).
• Reliability and Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for regulated environments.
• Compact Footprint — Body dimensions L: 1.27 × D: 1.00 cm with recommended land size L: 1.03 × W: 1.03 cm for PCB layout.

Typical Applications

• Automotive systems — Suited for automotive electronics that require components qualified to AEC-Q200 and capable of sustained operation at elevated temperatures.
• High-temperature electronics — Applied where extended endurance at up to 135°C is required, based on the 4000-hour rated life at that temperature.
• Compact power modules — Used in space-constrained surface-mount designs benefiting from low ESR and high ripple current handling.

Unique Advantages

• High-temperature endurance: 4000 hours at 135°C provides predictable life performance for designs exposed to sustained heat.
• Low ESR, high ripple capability: 24 mΩ ESR and up to 2.1 A ripple at 100 kHz reduce losses and improve voltage stability under dynamic loads.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 rating supports use in regulated automotive environments requiring component-level qualification.
• Lead-free reflow ready: Compatible with lead-free soldering processes (260°C peak), enabling modern SMD assembly flows.
• RoHS compliance: Meets RoHS directives (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for environmental and regulatory conformity.
• Compact SMD form factor: Radial can chip type with small footprint and defined land pattern for easy PCB integration.
