PCM1D101MCL1GS

The PCM1D101MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor in an SMD can package, designed for high-temperature, high-reliability power applications. It delivers low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and high ripple current handling for decoupling and power-conditioning functions in demanding environments.

Targeted use cases include automotive and industrial electronics that require robust performance across a wide temperature range and lead‑free reflow compatibility. Key value propositions are low ESR, sustained ripple capability, and long high-temperature life backed by AEC‑Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 100 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 20 V with ±20% tolerance, suitable for bulk decoupling and local energy buffering.
• Low ESR — 41 mΩ ESR specified at 100 kHz and 20°C, enabling improved transient response and reduced dissipation in power circuits.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 600 mA at 120 Hz and 1.2 A at 100 kHz, supporting high-frequency switching and DC‑DC converter outputs.
• High Temperature Endurance — Designed for operation from −55°C to +125°C with a lifetime of 6000 hours at 125°C for the φ6.3 size, providing extended service in hot environments.
• AEC‑Q200 Qualified & RoHS Compliant — Meets AEC‑Q200 qualification and the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for automotive and regulated applications.
• Lead‑free Reflow Compatible — SMD can package compatible with lead‑free reflow profiles up to a 260°C peak, supporting standard surface-mount assembly processes.
• Compact SMD Package — Radial, can‑style SMD with body dimensions L: 6 × D: 6.3 mm and recommended land pattern 6.6 × 6.6 mm, suitable for space‑constrained board layouts.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — For power decoupling and smoothing in ECUs and power modules where AEC‑Q200 qualification and high-temperature endurance are required.
• DC‑DC Converters — Local energy storage and ripple suppression at converter outputs, leveraging low ESR and high ripple current ratings.
• Industrial Power Supplies — Bulk filtering and transient support in high-temperature industrial electronics operating up to +125°C.
• Telecom and Networking Equipment — Decoupling for power rails in environments that demand sustained performance under thermal stress.

Unique Advantages

• Low-loss performance: 41 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz minimizes power dissipation and improves voltage stability under load.
• High ripple capability: Rated ripple currents of 600 mA (120 Hz) and 1.2 A (100 kHz) reduce heating and extend service life in switching applications.
• High-temperature durability: Operating range to +125°C and a 6000-hour rating at 125°C for the φ6.3 size ensure reliable operation in hot environments.
• Automotive readiness: AEC‑Q200 qualification aligns the part with automotive application requirements for robust performance.
• Assembly-friendly: Lead‑free reflow compatibility to 260°C simplifies integration into modern surface‑mount production flows.
• Compact SMD can package: Small 6 × 6.3 mm footprint and defined land pattern support dense board designs without sacrificing capacitance.
