PCJ0G152MCL1GS

The Nichicon PCJ0G152MCL1GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor delivering 1500 µF of capacitance at a 4 V rating in a compact φ10 × 10 mm SMD can. It pairs high capacitance density with low equivalent series resistance and elevated ripple-current capability.

Engineered for demanding power designs and automotive applications, this part provides low-loss decoupling and bulk energy storage across a wide temperature range with AEC-Q200 qualification and production-ready packaging.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.5 mF (1500 µF) rated at 4 V with tolerance of −20% to +20% (at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Low ESR & Frequency Performance — ESR of 10 mΩ measured at 100 kHz (20°C) and tanδ of 0.12 at 20°C/120 Hz for low-loss operation.
• High Ripple Current — High-frequency ripple current 5.5 A at 100 kHz and low-frequency ripple current 2.75 A at 120 Hz to handle demanding ripple conditions.
• Temperature Range & Endurance — Operating range −55°C to +105°C with a rated load life of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Automotive Grade & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant.
• SMD Package & Reflow Compatibility — φ10 × 10L radial can in SMD format; compatible with lead-free reflow soldering up to a 260°C peak as specified for the series.
• Leakage Current — Leakage current specified at 1200 µA (measurement condition per datasheet).
• Production Packaging — Embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing; part is in mass production.

Typical Applications

• Automotive systems — AEC-Q200 qualification, −55°C to +105°C range, and 2000-hour life at 105°C make this part suitable for automotive electronic modules requiring reliable bulk capacitance.
• High-ripple power rails — Low ESR (10 mΩ) and high ripple-current ratings support smoothing and decoupling on power-conversion and regulator outputs.
• Compact SMD designs — 1500 µF in a φ10 × 10 mm SMD can provides high capacitance density where board space is limited and automated assembly is required.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Dual ripple ratings (2.75 A at 120 Hz and 5.5 A at 100 kHz) address both low- and high-frequency stress on power rails, reducing thermal stress in operation.
• Low-loss performance: 10 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and a tanδ of 0.12 reduce energy dissipation and improve efficiency in high-frequency circuits.
• Automotive-capable reliability: AEC-Q200 qualification plus a 2000-hour endurance at 105°C support deployment in thermally demanding environments.
• Compact, production-ready form factor: φ10 × 10 mm SMD can with embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing streamlines automated PCB assembly.
• Reflow-compatible: Lead-free reflow soldering up to 260°C peak (per series recommendations) supports modern assembly processes.
