PCJ0E821MCL6GS

The PCJ0E821MCL6GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor optimized for high ripple-current, low-ESR power applications. Its chip-style radial can (φ8 × 8 mm) and SMD-compatible land size make it suitable for compact power modules and board-space constrained designs.

Designed for demanding environments, this part targets automotive and other high-reliability markets with an AEC-Q200 rating, RoHS compliance, and a 2000-hour load life at 105°C, delivering stable capacitance and controlled ESR over temperature and time.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 820 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 2.5 V and tolerance of ±20% at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Low ESR — 12 mΩ equivalent series resistance specified at 100 kHz, providing reduced loss and improved transient response.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 2.13 A at 120 Hz and 4.26 A at 100 kHz for effective filtering and energy smoothing in high-power-density circuits.
• High-Temperature Endurance — Load life specified as 2000 hours at 105°C, with endurance performance criteria for capacitance, tan δ and ESR.
• Wide Operating Range — Rated for operation from −55°C to +105°C to support a broad set of thermal environments.
• SMD Package & Assembly — Chip-type radial can (φ8 × 8 mm) with surface-mount land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm; supplied in embossed carrier tape with moisture-proof packing and compatible with lead-free reflow up to 260°C peak per datasheet guidance.
• Reliability & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant for use in regulated high-reliability applications.
• Polarized Construction — Polarized electrolytic design for DC power applications.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Power Modules — Bulk and decoupling capacitance in DC-DC converters and power distribution modules where high ripple current and thermal endurance are required.
• Power Supply Filtering — Output smoothing and transient suppression in low-voltage power rails benefiting from low ESR and high-frequency ripple handling.
• Embedded Power Systems — Compact SMD form factor suited to space-constrained power electronics on control and telemetry boards.

Unique Advantages

• Reduced Power Losses: Low ESR (12 mΩ at 100 kHz) minimizes dissipation and improves converter efficiency.
• Handles High Ripple: High ripple-current ratings (2.13 A @120 Hz, 4.26 A @100 kHz) enable reliable performance under heavy AC stress.
• High-Temperature Durability: 2000 hours at 105°C load life ensures long-term stability in elevated-temperature applications.
• AEC-Q200 Qualification: Accepted for automotive-grade projects requiring recognized component-level qualification.
• Board-Level Integration: Compact φ8 × 8 mm SMD can and defined land pattern (8.3 × 8.3 mm) simplify PCB layout and automated assembly.
• Production-Ready Packaging: Embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing support high-volume manufacturing and handling.
