The PCM1D151MCL4GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic, chip‑type surface‑mount capacitor engineered for high‑reliability applications. It delivers low equivalent series resistance (ESR), high ripple‑current capability, and a wide operating temperature range for designs that demand durable power filtering in challenging thermal environments.

Targeted at automotive and industrial electronics, this AEC‑Q200 qualified SMD capacitor supports lead‑free reflow processes and provides performance advantages where high ripple handling, low loss and long life at elevated temperatures are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 150 µF rated at 20 V with ±20% tolerance, suitable for bulk decoupling and energy storage on compact power rails.
• Low ESR — 25 mΩ (100 kHz), enabling reduced conduction losses and improved transient response in power systems.
• High Ripple Current — 1.7 A at 100 kHz and 850 mA at 120 Hz, supporting demanding switching converter and regulation applications.
• Wide Temperature Range — Rated for −55 °C to +125 °C to handle elevated operating temperatures common in automotive and industrial environments.
• High‑temperature Endurance — Specified lifetime of 6000 hours at 125 °C, providing long service life under sustained thermal stress.
• AEC‑Q200 Qualified — Meets AEC‑Q200 qualification for designs that require automotive‑grade component qualification.
• ESR Stability After Endurance — ESR after endurance performance is specified at 100 kHz, −40 °C, ensuring retained low‑loss behavior after stress testing.
• SMD, Lead‑free Reflow Compatible — Chip‑type, radial can SMD package designed for lead‑free reflow with peak soldering temperature support up to 260 °C.
• Compact Footprint — Body dimensions L 8 × D 6.3 mm and recommended PCB land 6.6 × 6.6 mm for dense board layouts.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directives (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Power filtering and decoupling in automotive control modules where AEC‑Q200 qualification and high‑temperature endurance are required.
• Power conversion modules — Bulk smoothing and ripple suppression for DC‑DC converters and switching regulators thanks to low ESR and high ripple current capability.
• On‑board power rails — Compact SMD solution for bulk decoupling on constrained PCBs in industrial and embedded systems operating across wide temperature ranges.

Unique Advantages

• Improved thermal endurance: 6000 hours at 125 °C supports designs exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
• High ripple handling: 1.7 A at 100 kHz (and 850 mA at 120 Hz) enables reliable operation with switching power supplies and converters.
• Low loss operation: 25 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz lowers conduction losses and helps maintain regulator efficiency.
• Automotive‑grade qualification: AEC‑Q200 qualification helps streamline selection for automotive and similarly demanding applications.
• Assembly ready: Chip SMD package compatible with lead‑free reflow up to 260 °C simplifies manufacturing integration.
• Compact footprint: Small L 8 × D 6.3 mm package and standardized land pattern reduce PCB area for space‑constrained designs.
