PCJ1C221MCL1GS

The PCJ1C221MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor delivering 220 µF at 16 V in a surface-mount can package. It combines low ESR and high ripple-current capability with higher capacitance density for demanding electronics.

Designed for automotive and other high-reliability markets, this AEC-Q200 qualified, RoHS-compliant device offers a 2000-hour load life at 105°C and is compatible with lead‑free reflow soldering up to a 260°C peak.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 220 µF rated capacitance at 16 V with ±20% tolerance (120 Hz, 20°C).
• Low ESR / High Ripple Performance — ESR of 22 mΩ measured at 100 kHz and high ripple-current capability (1.725 A at 120 Hz; 3.45 A at 100 kHz) for robust power filtering and decoupling.
• Reliability & Qualification — AEC‑Q200 qualified with a specified load life of 2000 hours at 105°C; meets endurance and damp‑heat criteria from the datasheet.
• Temperature Range — Rated operating range from −55°C to +105°C with defined impedance stability across this range.
• Surface-Mount Package — Chip-type aluminum can SMD package with a compact footprint (L: 0.8 × D: 1.0 cm) and recommended land pattern size (1.03 × 1.03 cm).
• Soldering Compatibility — Compatible with lead‑free reflow processes; specified peak reflow up to 260°C under the stated soldering conditions.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power electronics — Low ESR and high ripple-current handling support voltage smoothing and energy buffering in automotive control modules and power converters.
• On-board power rails — 220 µF capacitance at 16 V provides bulk decoupling for local rail stability in compact SMD designs operating across −55°C to +105°C.
• High-reliability industrial systems — AEC‑Q200 qualification and 2000 hours at 105°C make this capacitor suitable where long-term thermal endurance and moisture resistance are required.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR for tighter regulation: 22 mΩ at 100 kHz reduces voltage ripple and improves transient response when used on power rails.
• High ripple-current capability: Rated ripple currents (1.725 A at 120 Hz and 3.45 A at 100 kHz) support demanding switching environments and reduce thermal stress.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC‑Q200 qualification provides documented reliability for vehicle electronics and other safety-conscious applications.
• Extended thermal endurance: 2000-hour load life at 105°C demonstrates sustained performance under elevated temperature conditions.
• Lead‑free reflow compatibility: Designed for modern assembly processes with defined soldering profiles up to 260°C peak.
