Overview of PCL0G272MCL1GS – Conductive Polymer Aluminum Chip Capacitor, 2.7 mF / 4 V
The PCL0G272MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor designed for surface-mount assembly. It delivers high capacitance in a compact SMD can-style package and is specified for demanding environments with a rated voltage of 4 V and capacitance of 2.7 mF.
Built for long-term reliability, the part is AEC-Q200 qualified, RoHS compliant and engineered for 20,000 hours of operation at 105°C. Low ESR and high ripple-current capability make it suitable for automotive and other applications that require robust power smoothing and filtering.
Key Features
- Core Construction Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic design in a chip (can-style SMD) package providing high capacitance density.
- Electrical Performance 2.7 mF capacitance at 4 V with ±20% tolerance and low ESR of 11 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, supporting stable filtering performance.
- High Ripple Current Rated ripple current of 2.8 A at 120 Hz and 5.6 A at 100 kHz to handle demanding AC superposition and switching conditions.
- Long Life & Endurance Endurance specified at 20,000 hours at 105°C; after test the capacitor meets capacitance, tan δ and ESR retention criteria consistent with the PCL series endurance specifications.
- Temperature Range Wide operating range from −55°C to +105°C for use across harsh thermal environments.
- Surface-Mount Assembly SMD, lead‑free reflow compatible with a 260°C peak reflow condition (single reflow at 260°C, two times allowed at ≤250°C) and defined soldering heat resistance parameters.
- Automotive Qualification & Compliance AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), supporting regulated production environments.
Typical Applications
- Automotive electronic modules — AEC‑Q200 qualification and 20,000‑hour life at 105°C make this capacitor suitable for electronic control units and other vehicle systems requiring long-term stability.
- Power supply smoothing — Low ESR and high ripple current ratings enable effective smoothing on DC rails and switching regulator outputs.
- High-density SMD assemblies — Compact can-style SMD package accommodates designs where board space is limited while preserving high capacitance.
Unique Advantages
- Long-term thermal endurance: 20,000 hours at 105°C provides predictable lifetime behavior for thermal stress conditions.
- Low ESR for improved efficiency: 11 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces loss and heating in high-frequency applications.
- High ripple handling: Dual ripple ratings (2.8 A at 120 Hz, 5.6 A at 100 kHz) address both low- and high-frequency stress on power rails.
- SMD reflow compatible: Designed for lead-free reflow processes with defined peak-temperature allowances to fit modern assembly flows.
- Automotive-ready qualification: AEC‑Q200 rating and RoHS compliance support regulated production and reliability expectations in vehicle electronics.
