PCJ0E152MCL6GS

The PCJ0E152MCL6GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor designed for surface-mount power applications. Its chip-style SMD package delivers low ESR and high ripple-current handling for demanding thermal and electrical environments.

Targeted at automotive and industrial applications, the part offers a 1.5 mF capacitance at 2.5 V, AEC-Q200 qualification, RoHS compliance, and a rated operating range from −55 °C to +105 °C, providing a compact, reliable energy-storage solution where low impedance and high ripple capability are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 1.5 mF rated at 2.5 V with ±20% tolerance, suitable for bulk decoupling and energy-hold applications requiring substantial capacitance in a small footprint.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Current: ESR of 10 mΩ measured at 100 kHz and ripple current ratings of 2.61 A at 120 Hz and 5.22 A at 100 kHz, enabling efficient high-frequency decoupling and reduced power losses.
• Thermal and Lifetime Performance: Rated for −55 °C to +105 °C with a specified load life of 2000 hours at 105 °C, providing predictable long-term behavior under elevated temperature stress.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification: AEC-Q200 qualified and specified for automotive applications, supporting use in vehicle electronics that require component-level qualification.
• Surface-Mount Package & Land Pattern: Chip (radial, can-type SMD) package with dimensions L: 1.0 cm × D: 0.8 cm and recommended land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm for PCB layout and automated assembly.
• Assembly and Environmental Compliance: Designed for lead-free reflow soldering with a peak temperature correspondence up to 260 °C and RoHS compliance (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Automotive power modules: Bulk smoothing and decoupling in vehicle power supplies and ECU power rails where AEC-Q200 qualification and high ripple capability are required.
• DC–DC converters: Input/output filtering and stability support in compact converter designs that demand low ESR at high switching frequencies.
• Power backup and hold-up circuits: Local energy storage for transient absorption and short-duration hold-up where large capacitance in an SMD form factor is needed.

Unique Advantages

• High-energy density in chip SMD form: 1.5 mF capacitance in a compact 1.0 × 0.8 cm package reduces board area compared with larger discrete solutions.
• Low-loss power handling: 10 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and high ripple current ratings minimize heating and improve efficiency in switching environments.
• Automotive-ready reliability: AEC-Q200 qualification and a 2000-hour load life at 105 °C provide design confidence for automotive electronics.
• Robust temperature range: −55 °C to +105 °C operation supports demanding thermal environments across vehicle and industrial applications.
• Assembly-friendly: Compatible with lead-free reflow soldering up to a 260 °C peak, simplifying integration into modern SMT assembly flows.
