PCJ0G122MCL1GS

The PCJ0G122MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in an SMD chip-style can, designed for low ESR and higher capacitance requirements. It delivers 1.2 mF at 4 V with polarization and ±20% tolerance for compact energy storage in demanding electronic systems.

Targeted for automotive applications and other high-reliability markets, this AEC-Q200 qualified capacitor combines low ESR, high ripple-current capability and a long load life to support power filtering, decoupling and bulk storage in space-constrained surface-mount designs.

Key Features

• Core Electricals — 1.2 mF rated capacitance at 4 V with ±20% tolerance, providing compact bulk capacitance for power systems.
• Low ESR — 9 mΩ equivalent series resistance (measured at 100 kHz, 20°C) to minimize losses and improve transient response.
• High Ripple Current — 2.7 A at 120 Hz and 5.4 A at 100 kHz for sustained AC stress and filtering performance.
• Automotive Qualification & Reliability — AEC-Q200 qualified and rated for a 2000-hour load life at 105°C, supporting long-term performance under elevated temperature.
• Wide Temperature Range — Specified operation from −55°C to +105°C for use across harsh thermal environments.
• Surface-Mount, Reflow Compatible — Chip-type SMD (radial can) package with lead-free reflow soldering compatibility up to 260°C peak.
• Compact Package — Case dimensions L: 1.2 × D: 0.8 cm with recommended land size L: 8.3 × W: 8.3 mm for PCB layout.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Automotive power electronics — Smoothing and decoupling in ECUs, power modules and on-board converters where AEC-Q200 qualification is required.
• DC–DC converters and voltage regulators — Bulk and output filtering that benefit from low ESR and high ripple-current capability.
• Power supply decoupling — Local energy storage for transient suppression and improved voltage stability in compact SMD layouts.

Unique Advantages

• Low loss, low-ESR performance: 9 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces heat and improves efficiency in high-frequency applications.
• High ripple-current capability: Rated at 5.4 A (100 kHz) and 2.7 A (120 Hz) to handle sustained AC stress in power circuits.
• Automotive-grade reliability: AEC-Q200 qualification plus a 2000-hour load life at 105°C provides verified endurance under elevated temperature.
• Wide operating temperature: −55°C to +105°C rating supports deployment across a broad range of environmental conditions.
• Surface-mount convenience: Chip-type radial can SMD with a compact footprint and 260°C peak lead-free reflow compatibility simplifies PCB assembly.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity for use in regulated production environments.
