PCM1D331MCL6GS

The PCM1D331MCL6GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor in an SMD can package. It provides 330 µF at 20 V with low ESR and high ripple-current capability for designs that require durable, high-capacitance surface-mount solutions. Targeted uses include automotive and other high-temperature electronics where long life and thermal robustness are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 330 µF rated capacitance at 20 V with ±20% tolerance, suited for bulk decoupling and energy storage in power circuits.
• Conductive Polymer Solid Electrolyte — Solid polymer construction delivers low ESR and stable electrical performance across frequency and temperature ranges.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Current — ESR of 19 mΩ at 100 kHz and ripple current ratings of 2.4 A (100 kHz) and 1.2 A (120 Hz) for demanding power-conditioning applications.
• Extended High‑Temperature Life — Rated for 8,000 hours at 125 °C; endurance specifications include capacitance change within ±20% and ESR up to 200% of initial values after endurance.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Specified from −55 °C to +125 °C, enabling use in thermally challenging environments.
• SMD Compatibility & Reflow — Surface-mount chip type designed for lead‑free reflow soldering with peak up to 260 °C (pre‑heat and time limits per datasheet).
• AEC‑Q200 Qualified & RoHS Compliant — AEC‑Q200 qualification and compliance with RoHS directives as stated in product data.
• Compact Package — Small footprint with dimensions L: 1.0 cm × D: 0.8 cm and recommended land size 8.3 mm × 8.3 mm for space-constrained PCB layouts.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Suitable for modules and circuits that require AEC‑Q200 qualification and operation across −55 °C to +125 °C with long-term endurance at elevated temperature.
• Power supply decoupling and bulk energy storage — High capacitance and low ESR make it appropriate for smoothing and transient support in DC–DC converters and regulator outputs.
• High-temperature electronic systems — Designed for assemblies that undergo lead‑free reflow (260 °C peak) and require stable performance after prolonged exposure to high temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• Long operational lifetime: 8,000 hours at 125 °C provides predictable ageing behavior for designs requiring prolonged high-temperature operation.
• High ripple-handling capability: Low ESR (19 mΩ at 100 kHz) combined with specified ripple currents (2.4 A at 100 kHz) supports thermal and electrical stress in power circuits.
• Automotive-grade reliability: AEC‑Q200 qualification and endurance/damp‑heat test criteria in the datasheet align the part with demanding reliability requirements.
• Surface-mount convenience: Chip-style SMD can with defined land pattern simplifies automated assembly and reduces BOM complexity versus through‑hole alternatives.
• RoHS compliant: Lead‑free construction and conformance to RoHS directives support environmental and regulatory requirements.
