The PCL1C820MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor designed for surface-mount applications where long life, low ESR and high ripple handling are required. It delivers 82 µF at 16 V in a compact SMD can with polarization and industry-proven conductive polymer chemistry.

Qualified to AEC-Q200 and compliant with RoHS, this part targets automotive and other high-reliability markets, offering 20,000 hours of endurance at 105°C and compatibility with lead‑free reflow processes up to a 260°C peak.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 82 µF nominal capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable for bulk decoupling and power rail stabilization.
• Low ESR — 30 mΩ ESR specified at 100 kHz (20°C), enabling improved power efficiency and reduced loss in high-frequency applications.
• High Ripple Current — 1.35 A at 120 Hz and 2.7 A at 100 kHz, allowing effective ripple absorption in switching converters and power-supply outputs.
• Long Life & High Temperature Endurance — Rated for 20,000 hours at 105°C per series specification, assuring durable performance in elevated temperature environments.
• Temperature Range — Operates from −55°C to +105°C, supporting a wide range of environmental conditions.
• SMD Packaged — Radial can SMD package with dimensions L: 6 × D: 6.3 mm, surface mount land size 6.6 × 6.6 mm and maximum seated height of 6 mm for compact board layouts.
• Manufacturing & Process Compatibility — Lead‑free reflow soldering compatible with a 260°C peak (single reflow at 260°C; up to two reflows at ≤250°C) and preheat guidelines per series recommendations.
• Automotive Qualification & Compliance — AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, suitable for designs requiring recognized automotive component qualification.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Power Supplies — Local decoupling and smoothing on ECU and module power rails where long life and AEC‑Q200 qualification are required.
• DC‑DC Converters — Output filtering in point‑of‑load converters benefiting from low ESR and high ripple current capability.
• Infotainment & Telematics — Power rail stabilization in communication and multimedia modules exposed to temperature extremes.
• Sensors and Actuators — Energy buffering and noise suppression in sensor front ends and actuator driver circuits for robust operation.

Unique Advantages

• Extended High‑Temperature Life: 20,000 hours at 105°C specification provides long-term stability for designs operating at elevated temperatures.
• High-Frequency Efficiency: 30 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and a 2.7 A ripple rating at 100 kHz reduce losses and improve filtering performance in switching applications.
• Automotive-Grade Reliability: AEC‑Q200 qualification aligns the component with automotive reliability requirements for demanding vehicle electronics.
• Compact SMD Footprint: Small radial can (6 × 6.3 mm) and defined land pattern (6.6 × 6.6 mm) simplify PCB layout for space-constrained designs.
• Process-Ready for Lead‑Free Assembly: Reflow compatibility to a 260°C peak streamlines integration into lead‑free manufacturing flows.
