PCJ1A221MCL1GS

The PCJ1A221MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor designed for surface-mount applications. It delivers high capacitance with low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and high ripple current handling in a compact SMD can package.

Targeted for automotive and other demanding electronic systems, this part combines AEC-Q200 qualification, RoHS compliance, and a 2000-hour load life at 105°C to provide long-term reliability where elevated temperature and ripple stress are present.

Key Features

• Dielectric & Construction Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic construction for higher capacitance and improved ESR performance compared to conventional electrolytics.
• Capacitance & Voltage 220 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 10 V with ±20% tolerance (at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Low ESR ESR of 21 mOhm measured at 100 kHz (20°C), supporting efficient power delivery and reduced loss.
• High Ripple Current Rated ripple current of 3.22 A at 100 kHz and 1.61 A at 120 Hz, enabling effective filtering under dynamic load conditions.
• Thermal & Lifetime Performance Operating temperature range from −55°C to +105°C with a load life specification of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Automotive-Grade Reliability AEC-Q200 qualified and designed to meet endurance and damp-heat criteria from the datasheet (endurance: capacitance within ±20% after rated conditions).
• Surface-Mount Package & Reflow Chip-type SMD can package (L: 7 × D: 8 mm) with lead-free reflow soldering compatibility up to a 260°C peak and specified soldering profiles.
• Compliance RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Automotive power systems Suited for on-board power smoothing and decoupling in automotive electronics where AEC-Q200 qualification and high ripple tolerance are required.
• DC–DC converters and power modules Provides high-capacitance bulk and output filtering for converters that demand low ESR and high ripple current handling.
• Power management for embedded systems Compact SMD form factor and robust thermal performance make it suitable for space-constrained power subsystems.

Unique Advantages

• Low loss, high-efficiency operation: ESR of 21 mOhm at 100 kHz reduces conductive losses and helps maintain stable voltage under load.
• High ripple handling: Rated ripple currents of 3.22 A (100 kHz) and 1.61 A (120 Hz) support demanding switching and ripple environments.
• Automotive-capable reliability: AEC-Q200 qualification and a 2000-hour load life at 105°C deliver predictable performance in elevated-temperature applications.
• Compact SMD can package: 7 × 8 mm footprint with defined surface-mount land size (8.3 × 8.3 mm) eases PCB layout for dense assemblies.
• Lead-free reflow compatible: Supports lead-free reflow profiles up to a 260°C peak as specified for surface-mount assembly.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity provides assurance for restricted-substance requirements.
