PCJ0E181MCL1GS

The PCJ0E181MCL1GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor offering low ESR, high capacitance and high ripple-current capability in a compact chip package. It is designed for applications requiring robust electrical performance across a wide temperature range and extended load life.

Targeted for automotive and industrial electronics, this AEC-Q200-qualified part provides durable operation from -55°C to +105°C with a rated capacitance of 180 µF at 2.5 V and a rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 105°C.

Key Features

• Low ESR: 21 mΩ (measured at 100 kHz) for improved transient response and efficient high-frequency performance.
• High ripple current capability: 2.67 A at 100 kHz and 1.335 A at 120 Hz to support demanding power filtering and decoupling applications.
• High capacitance in a compact SMD package: 180 µF in a 6 × 5 mm footprint (L: 6 × D: 5 mm) with surface-mount land size 5.3 × 5.3 mm.
• Automotive-grade reliability: AEC-Q200 qualified with a load life of 2000 hours at 105°C and temperature rating of -55°C to +105°C.
• Reflow solder compatible: SMD type compatible with lead-free reflow soldering up to 260°C peak per the specified soldering conditions.
• Polarized chip design: Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic construction, polarized, with capacitance tolerance ±20%.
• RoHS compliant: Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics: Suited for automotive electronic control units and modules where AEC-Q200 qualification and high temperature endurance are required.
• Power supply decoupling: Low ESR and high ripple current make this part effective for smoothing and decoupling on board-level power rails.
• High-frequency power stages: Measured ESR and ripple-current performance at 100 kHz support use in high-frequency DC–DC converters and point-of-load circuits.
• Compact SMD systems: Chip-type, can-style SMD package provides high capacitance density for space-constrained designs.

Unique Advantages

• Compact high-capacitance solution: 180 µF in a 6 × 5 mm package reduces board area compared with larger can-style capacitors.
• Enhanced power-handling: High ripple-current ratings at both low and high frequencies allow the capacitor to handle dynamic loads and reduce thermal stress.
• Designed for harsh environments: -55°C to +105°C operating range and 2000-hour load-life at 105°C provide predictable long-term performance in demanding conditions.
• Reflow-ready for modern assembly: Compatible with lead-free reflow soldering up to 260°C peak, supporting standard SMD assembly processes.
• Quality and compliance: AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance provide traceable quality and regulatory alignment for regulated designs.
