Overview of PCL0E271MCL1GS – 270 µF, 2.5 V Conductive Polymer SMD Capacitor (AEC‑Q200)
The PCL0E271MCL1GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s PCL series, specified at 270 µF and 2.5 V. It combines polymer chemistry with a compact radial can SMD package (φ5 × 6L) to deliver low ESR and high ripple-current capability for demanding power-supply applications.
Designed and tested for long-term operation, this device targets automotive and other high-reliability markets where extended endurance, temperature tolerance, and compact board footprint are required.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage: 270 µF nominal capacitance with tolerance -20% to +20% at a rated voltage of 2.5 V.
- Low ESR & High Ripple Handling: ESR of 25 mΩ measured at 20°C/100 kHz supports high-frequency decoupling; ripple current ratings of 1.335 A at 120 Hz and 2.67 A at 100 kHz enable robust filtering under dynamic load conditions.
- Loss & Leakage: Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.12 (measured at 20°C/120 Hz, 2.5 V) and leakage current specified at 337 µA.
- Long Life & Wide Temperature Range: Endurance specified at 20,000 hours at 105°C and an operating temperature range of -55°C to +105°C for extended reliability in elevated-temperature environments.
- Automotive Qualification: AEC‑Q200 rated, supporting use in automotive-grade designs.
- Assembly & Packaging: Surface-mount radial can (φ5 × 6L) with embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing; lead‑free reflow soldering compatibility with peak temperature up to 260°C as specified.
- Compliance: RoHS compliant.
Typical Applications
- Automotive power rails: Bulk decoupling and smoothing for ECU and module power-supply rails where AEC‑Q200 qualification and extended endurance are required.
- DC–DC converters: Output filtering and high-frequency decoupling where low ESR and elevated ripple-current capability reduce voltage ripple in compact designs.
- Infotainment and telematics modules: Local energy storage and decoupling in compact SMD form factors subject to elevated ambient temperatures.
Unique Advantages
- Long operational life: 20,000 hours at 105°C provides predictable endurance for designs exposed to sustained high temperatures.
- High-frequency performance: 25 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz combined with a 2.67 A ripple-current rating at 100 kHz supports effective high-frequency decoupling in space-constrained layouts.
- Automotive readiness: AEC‑Q200 qualification ensures the part meets recognized automotive test requirements for component selection.
- Compact SMD can package: φ5 × 6L SMD footprint enables board-space savings while preserving capacitance and ripple handling.
- Assembly-friendly packaging: Embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing plus lead-free reflow capability to 260°C simplify automated production and handling.
- Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports environmental requirements for modern electronic products.
