PCJ1C330MCL1GS

The PCJ1C330MCL1GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's PCJ series. It provides 33 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating in a compact φ5 × 6 mm SMD can, designed for applications that require low ESR and high ripple handling.

Built for demanding operating environments, the device is AEC-Q200 qualified for automotive use, rated from -55 °C to +105 °C, and offers a 2000 hour load life at 105 °C. Key performance attributes include low ESR (35 mΩ at 100 kHz), high ripple current capability, and RoHS compliance.

Key Features

• Core Technology Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolyte construction for stable electrical performance and low internal resistance.
• Capacitance & Tolerance 33 µF nominal capacitance with tolerance of -20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Low ESR & High Ripple Handling ESR of 35 mΩ at 20 °C / 100 kHz, with ripple current ratings of 1.035 A at 120 Hz and 2.07 A at 100 kHz for improved filtering and power-rail stability.
• Leakage & Loss Characteristics Leakage current specified at 105 µA; tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.12 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz.
• Temperature Range & Endurance Operates from -55 °C to +105 °C and meets a load-life specification of 2000 hours at 105 °C.
• Package & Mounting Surface-mount radial can (φ5 × 6 mm) designed for embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing; compatible with lead-free reflow soldering up to 260 °C peak per datasheet guidance.
• Automotive Qualification & Compliance AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant for regulated material requirements and automotive-grade designs.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — AEC-Q200 qualification and 16 V rating make it suitable for automotive power-rail decoupling and local energy storage in in-vehicle electronics.
• Power Supply Decoupling — Low ESR (35 mΩ) and high ripple current capacity (2.07 A at 100 kHz) support smoothing and transient suppression on DC-DC converter outputs and regulator rails.
• Embedded and Control Modules — Compact φ5 × 6 mm SMD package fits space-constrained boards where reliable bulk capacitance and thermal endurance are required.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR for efficient filtering: 35 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces voltage ripple and heat generation on power rails.
• High ripple-current capability: Rated 1.035 A at 120 Hz and 2.07 A at 100 kHz to handle demanding ripple loads in power-supply applications.
• Automotive-grade reliability: AEC-Q200 qualification and a 2000 hour life at 105 °C support long-term operation in harsh environments.
• Compact SMD form factor: φ5 × 6 mm package enables high-density board layouts while maintaining bulk capacitance.
• Reflow and RoHS compatible: Lead-free reflow soldering compatibility up to 260 °C peak and RoHS compliance ease assembly and regulatory acceptance.
