PCK0G182MCO1GS

The PCK0G182MCO1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor designed for surface-mount applications. It combines ultra-low ESR and high capacitance in a compact SMD can package to serve applications that require high ripple-handling and robust thermal endurance.

Engineered for demanding environments, this part is AEC-Q200 qualified, RoHS compliant, and rated for operation from -55°C to +105°C with a load life of 2000 hours at 105°C, making it suitable for automotive and other high-reliability designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.8 mF (1800 µF) nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 4 V with a tolerance of ±20% (–20% to +20%).
• Ultra-low ESR — Equivalent Series Resistance of 8 mΩ measured at 100 kHz (20°C), enabling low-loss performance in high-frequency environments.
• High ripple current handling — Rated ripple current of 3 A at 120 Hz and 6 A at 100 kHz to support high-demand power stages and decoupling tasks.
• Thermal endurance — Load life rated at 2000 hours at 105°C; operating temperature range from -55°C to +105°C for extended reliability under thermal stress.
• Surface-mount package — Chip-type radial can SMD package with compact footprint (L: 1 × D: 1 cm) and recommended land size of 1.03 × 1.03 cm for PCB layout.
• Assembly compatibility — SMD, lead-free reflow soldering compatible with a 260°C peak reflow profile (single pass at 260°C maximum).
• Automotive-grade qualification — AEC-Q200 qualified and compliant to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), supporting regulated-industry use cases.
• Polarized construction & marking — Polarized capacitor with navy blue print marking on the case top for identification.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — AEC-Q200 qualification and wide temperature range make it suitable for vehicle electronic control units and modules requiring durable capacitors.
• Power supply filtering and decoupling — Ultra-low ESR and high ripple current ratings support smoothing and decoupling in high-current DC power stages.
• High-frequency power circuits — Low ESR at 100 kHz and high ripple capability enable reliable performance in circuits operating at elevated switching frequencies.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Rated ripple currents (3 A @ 120 Hz, 6 A @ 100 kHz) reduce heating and extend system longevity in high-demand power sections.
• Low-loss operation: 8 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz minimizes voltage drop and dissipation, improving efficiency in power converters and regulators.
• Automotive-ready reliability: AEC-Q200 qualification and a 2000-hour load life at 105°C provide traceable reliability for regulated and safety-conscious designs.
• Compact SMD form factor: Radial can SMD package with a small footprint (1 × 1 cm) allows high-density PCB layouts without sacrificing capacitance.
• Lead-free assembly compatibility: Designed for lead-free reflow up to a 260°C peak, facilitating modern RoHS-compliant manufacturing flows.
