PCJ1C151MCL1GS

The PCJ1C151MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic, chip-type SMD capacitor designed for applications that demand low ESR and higher capacitance in a compact surface-mount package. Built for reliability under elevated temperature stress, it delivers a 150 µF capacitance at 16 V with AEC-Q200 qualification and a rated load life of 2000 hours at 105°C.

Its SMD-compatible construction and lead-free reflow soldering compatibility (260°C peak) make it suitable for modern manufacturing processes while meeting RoHS requirements.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 150 µF rated capacitance at 16 V with ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage and decoupling in compact SMD designs.
• Low ESR — ESR of 22 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, supporting low-loss operation and improved high-frequency performance.
• High ripple current capability — Rated ripple current of 1.575 A at 120 Hz and 3.15 A at 100 kHz to handle dynamic load conditions.
• Thermal endurance — Operating temperature range −55°C to +105°C with a specified load life of 2000 hours at 105°C for extended high-temperature operation.
• Automotive qualification — AEC-Q200 qualified for use in automotive applications that require component-level reliability verification.
• SMD package & assembly — Chip-type, surface-mount radial can (L × D: 8 × 8 mm) with a recommended land size of 8.3 × 8.3 mm; compatible with lead-free reflow soldering (260°C peak).
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS-compliant to the 2011/65/EU and (EU)2015/863 directives.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power modules — Suitable for automotive systems that require AEC-Q200 qualification and long-term performance at elevated temperatures.
• SMD power supplies and converters — Low ESR and high ripple current ratings support filtering and energy storage in compact surface-mount power stages.
• High-frequency decoupling — ESR specified at 100 kHz and ripple current ratings make this capacitor appropriate for high-frequency decoupling on power rails.

Unique Advantages

• Low-loss operation: The 22 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces dissipation and improves efficiency in high-frequency applications.
• High ripple tolerance: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 100 kHz enable reliable operation under dynamic loads and switching environments.
• Extended high-temperature life: 2000 hours at 105°C provides predictable endurance for designs exposed to elevated temperatures.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 qualification supports use in automotive applications requiring component-level reliability.
• Manufacturing-ready SMD design: Chip-type construction with lead-free reflow compatibility (260°C peak) simplifies automated assembly and complies with RoHS.
• Compact footprint: 8 × 8 mm package size and defined land pattern support dense board layouts without sacrificing capacitance.
