Overview of PCL1D270MCL1GS – 27 µF, 20 V Conductive Polymer Aluminum Solid SMD Capacitor
The PCL1D270MCL1GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor designed for applications demanding low ESR, high ripple tolerance and long-term thermal stability. It delivers 27 µF capacitance at 20 V in a compact φ6.3 × 6 mm SMD radial can package.
Built for reliability, this part is AEC-Q200 qualified, RoHS compliant and specified for 20,000 hours at 105°C, making it suitable for demanding environments where sustained performance and durability matter.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 27 µF rated capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 20 V, suitable for a variety of decoupling and smoothing roles in power circuits.
- Conductive Polymer Solid Electrolyte — Solid polymer construction provides low dissipation factor (tan δ = 0.12 at 20°C, 120 Hz) for stable performance.
- Low ESR & High Ripple Handling — ESR of 60 mΩ at 100 kHz with ripple current ratings of 700 mA at 120 Hz and 1.4 A at 100 kHz, supporting high-frequency and high-current applications.
- Long Life & Thermal Endurance — Rated for 20,000 hours at 105°C; operating temperature range from −55°C to +105°C.
- Surface-Mount Package — Compact φ6.3 × 6 mm can (SMD radial) with recommended PCB land size 6.6 × 6.6 mm for automated assembly; supplied in embossed carrier tape with moisture-proof packing.
- Quality & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant; designed for lead-free reflow soldering processes per manufacturer guidelines.
Typical Applications
- Automotive Electronics — Suitable for automotive modules where AEC-Q200 qualification, long life at elevated temperature and RoHS compliance are required.
- Power Supply Filtering — Low ESR (60 mΩ at 100 kHz) and high ripple current capability support output smoothing and decoupling in power stages.
- High-Frequency Power Circuits — Designed to handle 1.4 A ripple at 100 kHz, making it appropriate for switching regulator and DC–DC converter environments.
Unique Advantages
- Extended High-Temperature Lifespan: 20,000 hours at 105°C provides predictable long-term performance in elevated-temperature installations.
- Robust High-Frequency Performance: 60 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz combined with 1.4 A ripple capacity enables effective high-frequency noise suppression and energy handling.
- Compact SMD Footprint: φ6.3 × 6 mm can and 6.6 × 6.6 mm land size allow high-density PCB layouts without sacrificing ripple or lifetime performance.
- Automotive-Grade Qualification: AEC-Q200 qualification supports deployment in automotive systems that require component-level qualification.
- Manufacturing-Ready Packaging: Embossed carrier tape and moisture-proof packing streamline automated placement and storage for production environments.
