Overview of PCJ0E821MCL1GS – Conductive Polymer Aluminum Chip Capacitor, 820 µF / 2.5 V
The PCJ0E821MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor engineered for surface-mount assemblies. It delivers high capacitance in a compact SMD can package while offering low ESR and high ripple-current capability.
Designed for demanding electronic environments, this part is AEC-Q200 qualified, RoHS compliant, and specified for a wide operating temperature range from −55°C to +105°C with a rated load life of 2000 hours at 105°C.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage: 820 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 2.5 V, tolerance ±20% (120 Hz, 20°C).
- Low ESR Performance: ESR specified at 9 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, enabling reduced loss and improved efficiency in high-frequency applications.
- High Ripple Current: Supports 2.7 A at 120 Hz and 5.4 A at 100 kHz, allowing effective handling of AC ripple on power rails.
- Thermal & Endurance: Rated for operation from −55°C to +105°C with a load life of 2000 hours at 105°C, meeting endurance criteria defined in the product series documentation.
- Surface-Mount Packaging: Chip-type radial can SMD with a recommended land pattern of 8.3 × 8.3 mm, designed for lead-free reflow soldering (peak up to 260°C, single reflow at 260°C).
- Reliability & Compliance: AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), supporting regulated production and reliability requirements.
Typical Applications
- Automotive electronics — Suited for automotive electronic systems that require a combination of high capacitance and low ESR to manage power rail stability and transient currents.
- Automotive power modules — Use in module-level filtering where high ripple current capability and 105°C endurance help maintain performance under thermal stress.
- Automotive surface-mount assemblies — The chip SMD package and lead-free reflow compatibility simplify integration into automated assembly processes while meeting industry qualification requirements.
Unique Advantages
- High capacitance in a compact SMD can: 820 µF delivers bulk capacitance in a chip-type package to save board area without sacrificing energy storage.
- Low loss at high frequency: 9 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and specified high-frequency ripple current (5.4 A at 100 kHz) reduce dissipation and improve regulator stability.
- Designed for harsh environments: −55°C to +105°C operating range plus 2000-hour load life at 105°C supports long-term reliability in elevated-temperature applications.
- Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 qualification provides a verified reliability baseline for automotive electronic designs.
- Assembly-friendly soldering: Compatible with lead-free reflow soldering (peak up to 260°C) to meet modern manufacturing processes.
- Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity ensures compliance with current substance restriction directives.
