Overview of PCJ0G152MCL4GS – Conductive Polymer Aluminum Solid Electrolytic Capacitor, Chip Type
The PCJ0G152MCL4GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor engineered for surface-mount power applications. It combines low ESR and higher capacitance in a compact can-style SMD package to support high ripple currents and robust thermal performance.
Designed for automotive and other demanding power electronics, this part delivers a 1.5 mF capacitance at 4 V with AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance for reliability and regulatory compatibility in professional designs.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 1.5 mF rated capacitance with a 4 V nominal voltage and ±20% tolerance.
- Low ESR — Equivalent series resistance of 9 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, enabling improved transient response and reduced power loss.
- High Ripple Current — Rated for 2.6 A at 120 Hz and 5.2 A at 100 kHz to support high-frequency switching and power conversion.
- Thermal & Lifetime Performance — Operating range from −55 °C to +105 °C with a load life of 2000 hours at 105 °C.
- Package & Mounting — Chip-type, surface-mount radial can (SMD) with package dimensions L: 1.2 × D: 0.8 cm and recommended land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm.
- Soldering Compatibility — SMD type compatible with lead‑free reflow soldering conditions up to a 260 °C peak (per specified reflow limits).
- Qualification & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS directive compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
- Polarized Design — Polar capacitor suitable for DC power filtering and energy storage applications.
Typical Applications
- Automotive power electronics — Bulk decoupling and energy buffering on automotive power rails where AEC-Q200 qualification and high ripple tolerance are required.
- DC–DC converters — Input/output smoothing for switching regulators benefiting from low ESR and high-frequency ripple handling up to 5.2 A at 100 kHz.
- ECUs and control modules — Local power stabilization in electronic control units that operate across −55 °C to +105 °C.
- Infotainment and telematics — Bulk and hold-up capacitance for in-vehicle systems requiring compact SMD solutions and lead‑free assembly compatibility.
Unique Advantages
- High ripple endurance: Rated ripple currents (2.6 A @ 120 Hz, 5.2 A @ 100 kHz) reduce thermal stress and extend system life in switching environments.
- Low-loss operation: 9 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz minimizes dissipation, improving efficiency in power conversion and filtering circuits.
- Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 qualification supports deployment in automotive designs that require component-level reliability.
- Compact SMD can form factor: Chip-type radial can package and small footprint (L: 1.2 × D: 0.8 cm) simplify board layout while providing higher capacitance than comparable SMD alternatives.
- Designed for lead‑free assembly: Specified for lead‑free reflow up to a 260 °C peak, enabling modern Pb‑free manufacturing processes.
- Wide temperature capability: −55 °C to +105 °C rated range ensures stable performance across typical automotive and industrial environments.
