PCM1E101MCL4GS

The PCM1E101MCL4GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor in a surface-mount radial can package, rated at 100 µF and 25 V. It combines low equivalent series resistance and high ripple-current capability with a compact SMD footprint for power filtering and decoupling in demanding thermal environments.

Designed for applications that require extended operation across a wide temperature span, this part offers an operating temperature range of −55 °C to +125 °C, AEC-Q200 qualification, and RoHS compliance, delivering reliability and specification-driven performance for automotive and industrial designs.

Key Features

• Electrical performance — 100 µF capacitance at 25 V with an ESR of 27 mΩ (measured at 100 kHz), enabling effective decoupling and low-loss energy storage.
• High ripple-current handling — Supports 850 mA at 120 Hz and 1.7 A at 100 kHz, suitable for power-rail smoothing in switching supplies and converters.
• Wide temperature range — Rated for operation from −55 °C to +125 °C to meet thermal demands of harsh environments.
• Long-life endurance — Specified lifetime of 6000 hours at 125 °C, with endurance and damp-heat characteristics defined by the product datasheet.
• Automotive-grade qualification — AEC-Q200 qualified for designs requiring automotive-grade component qualification.
• Surface-mount packaging — Compact radial can SMD: L 8 × D 6.3 mm with recommended land size 6.6 × 6.6 mm, supporting automated placement and soldering.
• Lead-free reflow compatible — Compliant with lead-free reflow soldering conditions up to a 260 °C peak as specified in the datasheet.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS compliant per the provided product information.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Power-rail decoupling and smoothing in ECUs and control modules where AEC-Q200 qualification and high-temperature capability are required.
• Industrial power systems — DC-DC converter output filtering and bulk decoupling in industrial controllers that operate at elevated temperatures.
• Telecommunications equipment — Power-supply smoothing and transient suppression in baseband and power subsystems that demand low ESR and high ripple capability.
• Embedded and computing systems — Local energy storage and decoupling for power management in compact SMD assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR for reduced losses: 27 mΩ at 100 kHz lowers conduction losses and improves regulator stability in high-frequency applications.
• High ripple-current capability: 1.7 A at 100 kHz supports heavy AC loading from switching regulators and power converters.
• Designed for high-temperature operation: −55 °C to +125 °C range and 6000-hour life at 125 °C support long-term performance in thermally challenging environments.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 qualification addresses the needs of automotive system designers requiring proven reliability standards.
• Compact SMD form factor: L 8 × D 6.3 mm package and a 6.6 × 6.6 mm land pattern simplify PCB layout and support automated assembly.
• RoHS and lead-free reflow compliant: Facilitates modern manufacturing processes with lead-free soldering up to 260 °C peak.
