PCJ0G102MCL4GS

The PCJ0G102MCL4GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor designed for surface-mount applications. It delivers low equivalent series resistance and high ripple-current capability in a compact SMD radial-can package for demanding power-management roles.

Targeted at automotive and other industrial electronics, this part combines a 1 mF capacitance at 4 V with AEC-Q200 qualification, RoHS compliance, and a 2000-hour load life at 105°C to support reliable operation under elevated temperature and high-stress conditions.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1 mF rated capacitance at 4 V for bulk energy storage and decoupling in low-voltage power rails.
• Low ESR — 10 mΩ equivalent series resistance specified at 100 kHz, enabling lower losses and improved transient performance.
• High Ripple Current — Handles up to 5.22 A at 100 kHz and 2.61 A at 120 Hz, supporting high-frequency switching and load variations.
• Thermal Performance — Operating temperature range of −55 °C to +105 °C with endurance specified as 2000 hours at 105 °C under rated voltage.
• Reliability & Qualification — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant for regulated market segments.
• Packaging & Mounting — Surface-mount radial can (chip type) with recommended land pattern of 8.3 mm × 8.3 mm; lead-free reflow solder compatible up to a 260 °C peak.
• Polarized Electrolytic — Polar capacitor type suitable for DC applications where polarity is observed.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Power Electronics — Bulk decoupling and smoothing on low-voltage power rails in automotive control modules where AEC-Q200 qualification and elevated-temperature endurance are required.
• DC-DC Converter Output — High ripple current rating and low ESR make it suitable for output filtering on high-frequency converters and point-of-load circuits.
• Embedded Power Supplies — Energy storage and transient buffering in compact SMD designs that require lead-free reflow compatibility.

Unique Advantages

• Low-loss operation: 10 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces heat generation and improves efficiency in switching power stages.
• High ripple capability: Rated ripple currents of 5.22 A (100 kHz) and 2.61 A (120 Hz) support sustained high-frequency loading without premature degradation.
• Robust high-temperature life: Specified endurance of 2000 hours at 105 °C provides predictable long-term behavior in thermally stressed installations.
• Automotive-ready qualification: AEC-Q200 status enables use in automotive-grade electronic assemblies.
• Assembly-friendly: Surface-mount radial-can format with lead-free reflow up to 260 °C simplifies automated manufacturing on modern SMT lines.
