PCJ1C820MCL1GS

The PCJ1C820MCL1GS is a chip-type conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor engineered for surface-mount applications. It combines low ESR and high ripple-current capability with elevated-temperature endurance for reliable performance in demanding environments.

Designed and qualified to AEC-Q200, this SMD capacitor is targeted at automotive electronics and other applications that require robust power-filtering performance, RoHS compliance, and compatibility with lead‑free reflow soldering up to a 260°C peak.

Key Features

• Electrical Capacity: 82 µF capacitance at 16 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance, offering energy storage and filtering in compact SMD form.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Handling: ESR of 24 mΩ measured at 100 kHz (20°C) and ripple current ratings of 1.35 A at 120 Hz and 2.7 A at 100 kHz enable effective smoothing and decoupling in power stages.
• Thermal and Endurance Performance: Operating temperature range of −55°C to +105°C and a rated load life of 2000 hours at 105°C, with endurance criteria: capacitance change within ±20%, tan δ and ESR ≤150% of initial values after life test.
• Stable Impedance over Temperature: Impedance ratios Z(+105°C)/Z(+20°C) ≤1.25 and Z(−55°C)/Z(+20°C) ≤1.25 at 100 kHz, maintaining consistent performance across the specified temperature range.
• Surface-Mount Package: Chip-type, radial can SMD with physical dimensions L: 8 mm × D: 6.3 mm and recommended land size 6.6 mm × 6.6 mm for compact PCB integration.
• Assembly & Compliance: Lead-free reflow compatible (one-time peak up to 260°C), RoHS compliant, and AEC‑Q200 qualified for automotive-grade reliability requirements.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics: Suitable for onboard power modules and electronic control units where AEC‑Q200 qualification, high ripple current capability, and elevated-temperature endurance are required.
• SMD Power Modules: Acts as a compact, low-ESR filter/decoupling capacitor in surface-mount power conversion and regulation stages that need high ripple handling.
• High-Temperature Electronics: Designed for systems operating across −55°C to +105°C with stable impedance and long-term life at elevated temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR for Efficient Filtering: 24 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces voltage ripple and improves power-supply stability in tight designs.
• High Ripple Current Capability: Rated ripple currents of 1.35 A (120 Hz) and 2.7 A (100 kHz) allow the capacitor to handle larger AC stress in power stages.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification: AEC‑Q200 qualification aligns the device with the reliability expectations of automotive applications.
• Long-Life at Elevated Temperature: 2000 hours at 105°C provides predictable endurance for designs exposed to sustained high temperatures.
• SMD, Reflow-Compatible Package: Compact chip form factor and one-time 260°C reflow compatibility simplify assembly in modern surface-mount production flows.
• RoHS Compliant: Conforms to RoHS directives for environmentally regulated designs.
