PCJ0E152MCL1GS

The PCJ0E152MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor in an SMD can package designed for demanding electronics. It delivers high capacitance with low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and elevated ripple-current capability, making it suitable for robust power management in automotive and industrial applications.

Engineered for reliability, this part is AEC-Q200 qualified, RoHS compliant and specified for a 2000-hour load life at 105°C. The component supports lead-free reflow processes with a 260°C peak soldering condition.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage: 1.5 mF capacitance at a rated voltage of 2.5 V, with tolerance of −20% to +20% for bulk energy storage and decoupling.
• Low ESR: 9 mΩ ESR measured at 100 kHz, enabling efficient high-frequency performance and reduced power loss.
• High Ripple Current: Rated ripple current of 2.7 A at 120 Hz and 5.4 A at 100 kHz to support high-current switching and filtering applications.
• Temperature and Lifetime: Operating range from −55°C to +105°C with a specified load life of 2000 hours at 105°C for long-term thermal endurance.
• Package and Mounting: Surface-mount radial can (chip type) with compact dimensions L: 1.2 × D: 0.8 cm and recommended land pattern 8.3 × 8.3 mm for board-level integration.
• Soldering and Compliance: SMD lead-free reflow compatible with a 260°C peak; RoHS compliant and AEC-Q200 qualified for automotive-grade reliability.
• Polarized Design: Polar capacitor construction for correct orientation in DC power circuits; case top marked with navy blue print.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Power Systems: Bulk decoupling and smoothing in control modules where AEC-Q200 qualification and high-temperature endurance are required.
• Power Supply Filtering: High ripple-current capability and low ESR make it suitable for output filtering of DC–DC converters and switching regulators.
• Energy Storage and Hold-up: Compact, high-capacitance SMD solution for local energy buffering and transient suppression on board-level power rails.

Unique Advantages

• High Capacitance in a Compact SMD Can: 1.5 mF in a small chip package reduces board space while providing significant energy density.
• Low Power Loss: 9 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz lowers I²R losses and improves efficiency in high-frequency power stages.
• Robust Ripple Handling: Dual-rated ripple current (120 Hz and 100 kHz) supports both low- and high-frequency power applications.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification: AEC-Q200 qualification and a 2000-hour life at 105°C deliver traceable reliability for vehicle electronics.
• Lead-Free Assembly Ready: Designed for lead-free reflow soldering up to a 260°C peak to match modern manufacturing processes.
