PCJ0G151MCL1GS

The PCJ0G151MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor from Nichicon’s PCJ series. It delivers low ESR and high ripple current in a compact surface-mount can package, designed for demanding environments including automotive electronics.

Key value propositions include low equivalent series resistance (22 mΩ at 100 kHz), high ripple-current capability, AEC-Q200 qualification, and a 2000-hour load life at 105°C—attributes that support reliable power decoupling and smoothing in temperature-stressed SMD assemblies.

Key Features

• Construction: Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic, chip-type SMD can for compact board-level integration.
• Capacitance & Voltage: 150 µF rated at 4 V with ±20% tolerance, polarized for DC decoupling and filtering.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Handling: ESR of 22 mΩ at 100 kHz and ripple current up to 2.61 A at 100 kHz (1.305 A at 120 Hz) for improved transient response and thermal performance.
• Thermal and Endurance Rating: Operating temperature range −55°C to +105°C with a specified load life of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Automotive-Grade Reliability: AEC-Q200 qualified and compliant with RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Soldering Compatibility: SMD, lead-free reflow soldering condition correspondence at a 260°C peak.
• Package & PCB Footprint: Compact package L 6 × D 5 mm with recommended land size 5.3 × 5.3 mm for board layout.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics: Designed for automotive use where AEC-Q200 qualification and high ripple-current capability are required for reliable power management.
• SMD power modules and assemblies: Surface-mount can construction and lead-free reflow compatibility at 260°C support modern SMD assembly processes.
• High-temperature environments: Operation from −55°C to +105°C and a 2000-hour load life at 105°C provide endurance in thermally challenging applications.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR for better transient performance: 22 mΩ at 100 kHz reduces voltage ripple and improves decoupling effectiveness on power rails.
• High ripple-current capability: Up to 2.61 A at 100 kHz supports demanding load conditions and helps manage self-heating.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 qualification provides a recognized reliability baseline for automotive and similarly demanding systems.
• Compact SMD can: 6 × 5 mm package minimizes PCB area while providing substantial capacitance (150 µF) for space-constrained designs.
• Extended high-temperature endurance: 2000-hour load life at 105°C ensures long-term stability under elevated-temperature operation.
• RoHS compliant and lead-free reflow capable: Meets RoHS requirements and supports a 260°C lead-free reflow profile for modern assembly processes.
