PCJ0G182MCL9GS

The PCJ0G182MCL9GS from Nichicon is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor in an SMD can package. It delivers high capacitance and low equivalent series resistance (ESR) for applications that demand stable decoupling and high ripple-handling capability.

Engineered for demanding environments, this part offers AEC‑Q200 qualification, a broad operating temperature range from −55°C to +105°C, and a rated load life of 2000 hours at 105°C, making it suitable for reliability-focused electronic systems.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.8 mF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 4 V, polarized design for power-decoupling and energy-storage use.
• Low ESR Performance — ESR of 9 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, supporting lower losses and improved high-frequency performance in power circuits.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple currents of 2.8 A at 120 Hz and 5.6 A at 100 kHz, enabling robust handling of AC stress and switching transients.
• Reliability & Endurance — Load life specified as 2000 hours at 105°C; endurance and damp-heat characteristics defined in the product specification.
• Temperature Range — Specified operating range from −55°C to +105°C to support a wide range of thermal environments.
• Surface-Mount Package & Reflow Compatibility — Chip‑type SMD can package compatible with lead‑free reflow soldering conditions up to a 260°C peak.
• Compliance & Qualification — AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for regulated applications.
• Capacitance Tolerance — ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C as specified.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Designed for automotive systems requiring AEC‑Q200 qualification, high ripple handling and low ESR for power-smoothing and decoupling functions.

Unique Advantages

• Low-loss high-frequency operation: 9 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces dissipation in high-speed power rails and switching converters.
• Superior ripple-handling capacity: Rated ripple currents (2.8 A at 120 Hz, 5.6 A at 100 kHz) support demanding AC and switching environments.
• Long endurance at elevated temperature: 2000-hour load life at 105°C provides quantifiable longevity for thermal-stressed designs.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC‑Q200 qualification aligns the part with automotive reliability requirements where specified.
• Reflow-ready SMD packaging: Chip can format and lead‑free reflow peak correspondence to 260°C simplifies assembly in standard surface-mount processes.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance ensures conformance to restricted-substance regulations.
