PCJ1C271MCL1GS

The PCJ1C271MCL1GS is a conductive-polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor designed for surface-mount assembly. It delivers a high capacitance (270 µF) at a 16 V rating with low equivalent series resistance and high ripple-current capability.

Built for demanding environments, this part addresses automotive-grade requirements with AEC-Q200 qualification, extended load life at elevated temperatures, and lead‑free reflow compatibility for modern SMD manufacturing.

Key Features

• Construction: Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic, chip-type design providing low ESR and higher capacitance characteristics.
• Capacitance & Voltage: 270 µF nominal capacitance at a 16 V rated voltage with a tolerance of ±20% (‑20% to +20%).
• Low ESR & Ripple Capability: ESR of 16 mΩ measured at 100 kHz; ripple current capability of 4.07 A at 100 kHz and 2.035 A at 120 Hz, enabling effective suppression of high-frequency and low-frequency ripple.
• Thermal and Endurance Performance: Operating temperature range from ‑55 °C to +105 °C and a rated load life of 2000 hours at 105 °C, with end-of-life limits defined for capacitance, tan δ, ESR and leakage current.
• Mounting & Soldering: Surface-mount radial can (SMD) package suitable for lead‑free reflow; compatible with peak reflow conditions up to 260 °C per specified soldering profile. Recommended PCB land size: 8.3 × 8.3 mm.
• Reliability & Compliance: AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, supporting regulated and high-reliability product requirements.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — For vehicle electronic modules where AEC‑Q200 qualification, low ESR, and high ripple-current endurance are required.
• Power Modules and DC–DC Converters — Suited to SMD power assemblies that demand high capacitance and robust ripple handling at elevated temperatures.
• Control Units and Embedded Systems — Appropriate for surface-mounted subsystem boards requiring long load life and wide temperature operation.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR Performance: 16 mΩ at 100 kHz reduces voltage ripple and improves stability in power circuits.
• High Ripple-Current Handling: Rated ripple currents of 4.07 A (100 kHz) and 2.035 A (120 Hz) support demanding transient and switching loads.
• Automotive-Grade Reliability: AEC‑Q200 qualification and a 2000‑hour load life at 105 °C demonstrate suitability for high-reliability applications.
• Lead‑Free Reflow Compatible: Designed for modern SMD manufacturing with confirmed soldering profiles up to a 260 °C peak.
• Wide Operating Range: –55 °C to +105 °C operating window supports designs exposed to broad temperature extremes.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliant to help meet environmental requirements in regulated markets.
