PCJ0G182MCL1GS

The PCJ0G182MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor designed for surface-mount applications. It delivers 1.8 mF capacitance at 4 V with low equivalent series resistance (10 mΩ at 100 kHz) and high ripple‑current capability, targeting demanding electronic systems.

Built for reliability under thermal stress, this SMD can withstand operating temperatures from −55 °C to +105 °C and offers a rated load life of 2000 hours at 105 °C. Its AEC‑Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance make it suitable for automotive electronic assemblies and other high-reliability markets.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 1.8 mF nominal capacitance at 4 V with ±20% tolerance and a low ESR of 10 mΩ (measured at 100 kHz), enabling effective filtering and high-frequency decoupling in compact designs.
• High Ripple Current — Supports 2.75 A at 120 Hz and 5.5 A at 100 kHz, allowing the capacitor to handle substantial AC stress in power stages and converters.
• Reliability & Endurance — Load life of 2000 hours at 105 °C with defined endurance limits: capacitance change within ±20%, tan δ and ESR ≤150% of initial values, and leakage current within initial limits after the test.
• Temperature Range — Rated for operation from −55 °C to +105 °C with stable impedance characteristics across the range (Z ratios specified in the datasheet).
• Package & Assembly — Chip‑type SMD in a radial can SMD package with surface-mount land size of 1.03 × 1.03 cm; compatible with lead‑free reflow soldering up to a 260 °C peak (single reflow at ≤260 °C).
• Qualification & Compliance — AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS directive compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), supporting regulated and automotive development flows.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronic Modules — Suitable for in-vehicle power electronics where AEC‑Q200 qualification and high ripple-current endurance are required.
• Power Management and DC‑DC Converters — Low ESR and high ripple current support energy smoothing and stability in compact converter designs.
• Control and Sensor Electronics — Robust operation across −55 °C to +105 °C and long load life make it appropriate for control modules and sensor interfaces in harsh environments.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR for high-frequency performance: 10 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces losses and improves transient response in decoupling and filtering applications.
• High ripple‑current capability: Rated ripple currents of 2.75 A (120 Hz) and 5.5 A (100 kHz) enable reliable operation under AC stress in power circuits.
• Long thermal endurance: 2000 hours load life at 105 °C provides predictable aging and performance retention in elevated-temperature applications.
• AEC‑Q200 qualification: Supports automotive-grade designs and development processes that require component-level qualification.
• SMD convenience with lead‑free reflow compatibility: Chip package and defined reflow profile (≤260 °C peak, single reflow) simplify automated assembly on compact PCBs.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity ensures suitability for regulated markets and environments.
