PCJ0J152MCL9GS

The PCJ0J152MCL9GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor from Nichicon’s PCJ series. It delivers low equivalent series resistance (ESR), higher capacitance density, and high ripple-current capability in a surface‑mount radial can package.

Designed for automotive and other demanding electronic systems, this part combines AEC‑Q200 qualification, lead‑free reflow compatibility up to a 260°C peak, and a 2000‑hour load life at 105°C to support robust power-management and decoupling requirements across a wide temperature range.

Key Features

• Capacitance and voltage: 1.5 mF nominal capacitance rated at 6.3 V, with ±20% tolerance for design predictability.
• Low ESR and high ripple handling: ESR of 10 mΩ at 100 kHz and ripple current ratings of 5.5 A at 100 kHz and 2.75 A at 120 Hz to support dynamic power demands.
• Thermal and lifecycle performance: Specified operating range of −55°C to 105°C with a rated load life of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC‑Q200 qualified and listed for automotive applications, supporting reliability requirements for vehicle electronics.
• SMD assembly compatible: Surface mount, radial can (SMD) package designed for lead‑free reflow soldering with peak correspondence up to 260°C.
• Compact package dimensions: Body dimensions L: 1.27 × D: 1.00 cm with recommended land pattern L: 1.03 × W: 1.03 cm to facilitate PCB layout.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for environmentally regulated designs.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics: Suitable for electronic control units and modules that require AEC‑Q200 qualification and stable capacitance under automotive temperature ranges.
• Power management modules: Used where low ESR and high ripple current capacity improve voltage stability and transient response.
• Embedded control systems: Deployed in systems operating across −55°C to 105°C where long-term endurance and reliability are required.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple current capability: Supports demanding AC and pulsed loads with up to 5.5 A at 100 kHz, reducing stress on upstream power components.
• Low ESR for improved power delivery: 10 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz helps lower power loss and heat generation in high‑frequency applications.
• Designed for harsh environments: 2000 hours load life at 105°C and −55°C to 105°C operating range provide predictable behavior in elevated‑temperature conditions.
• Automotive qualification: AEC‑Q200 qualification provides an added level of traceable reliability for vehicle systems and related electronics.
• Assembly-ready SMD format: Radial can SMD package with lead‑free reflow compatibility simplifies mixed‑technology PCB assembly processes.
