PCJ1C101MCL1GS

The PCJ1C101MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor in an SMD can package, designed for applications that require low ESR, high ripple handling and durable high-temperature performance. With AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance, it targets automotive and other high-reliability electronics where elevated temperature endurance and robust power-decoupling are required.

Key value propositions include low equivalent series resistance (ESR), high allowable ripple current, and a specified load life of 2000 hours at 105°C—enabling stable decoupling and filtering under demanding thermal and electrical stress.

Key Features

• Dielectric & Construction — Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic design for stable electrical performance and low loss.
• Capacitance & Voltage — 100 µF rated capacitance at 16 V with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Low ESR — ESR specified at 24 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, enabling efficient high-frequency decoupling and reduced power dissipation.
• High Ripple Current — Handles 1.505 A at 120 Hz and 3.01 A at 100 kHz, supporting applications with significant AC content on power rails.
• High-Temperature Endurance — Load life rated at 2000 hours at 105°C; operating temperature range from −55°C to +105°C.
• Surface-Mount Packaging — Chip-type SMD can package, dimensions L: 7 × D: 8 mm with recommended PCB land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm for reliable solder attachment.
• Reflow & Soldering — Lead-free reflow soldering correspondence up to a 260°C peak (single reflow at ≤260°C per datasheet conditions); solderability and heat resistance tested per internal specifications.
• Automotive Qualification & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), suitable for regulated manufacturing environments.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronic systems — Bulk and decoupling capacitor for control modules and power rails where AEC-Q200 qualification and 105°C endurance are required.
• DC–DC converter outputs — Low ESR and high ripple current capability help stabilize outputs and reduce voltage ripple under switching loads.
• Power supply decoupling — Local energy storage and filtering on high-frequency boards to improve transient response and reduce losses.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR for improved efficiency — 24 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces I²R losses and thermal rise in high-frequency circuits.
• High ripple handling — Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz provide quantifiable margins for AC-stressed power rails.
• Proven high-temperature life — 2000-hour load life at 105°C supports long-term reliability in hot environments common to automotive electronics.
• SMD can footprint for compact designs — Chip-type package with a small 7 × 8 mm profile and defined land pattern simplifies PCB layout for space-constrained applications.
• Manufacturing-friendly soldering — Lead-free reflow correspondence to 260°C peak accommodates modern assembly processes with clear reflow condition guidance in the datasheet.
• Standards compliance — AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS conformity support regulatory and industry requirements for production use.
