PCM1H820MCL6GS

The PCM1H820MCL6GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic, chip-type surface-mount capacitor designed for high-capacitance, high-temperature applications. It combines low equivalent series resistance and high ripple-current capability with a compact SMD package.

Targeted at demanding electronics environments, this part is suited for automotive and high-temperature designs that require long service life and reliable decoupling or energy buffering under elevated temperatures. Key value propositions include low ESR, high ripple tolerance, AEC‑Q200 qualification and an 8000-hour life rating at 125°C.

Key Features

• Core Technology Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolyte in a chip-type SMD package for stable capacitance and low loss.
• Capacitance & Voltage 82 µF rated capacitance at 50 V with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Low ESR & High Ripple Handling ESR 26 mΩ at 100 kHz and ripple current ratings of 1.05 A at 120 Hz and 2.1 A at 100 kHz for reduced heating under AC stress.
• Wide Temperature & Long Life Operating range −55°C to +125°C and endurance specified as 8000 hours at 125°C, supporting sustained high-temperature operation.
• Reliability & Standards AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant; designed for lead-free reflow soldering with peak 260°C compatibility.
• Package & Assembly Surface-mount radial can (SMD) with compact dimensions (L: 1.0 cm × D: 0.8 cm) and recommended land pattern 8.3 mm × 8.3 mm for PCB layout.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Power Electronics — Energy buffering and decoupling in modules where AEC‑Q200 qualification and high-temperature endurance are required.
• DC–DC Converters and Power Supplies — Bulk and output filtering where low ESR and high ripple current capacity reduce thermal stress and improve stability.
• Motor Drives and Power Modules — Smoothing and transient suppression in compact power-dense assemblies operating to 125°C.
• Industrial Electronics — High-temperature control systems and converters that demand long life and reliable high-frequency performance.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR for efficient power handling: 26 mΩ at 100 kHz minimizes voltage drop and internal heating in high-frequency circuits.
• High ripple-current capability: Rated ripple currents (1.05 A at 120 Hz, 2.1 A at 100 kHz) support demanding AC stress without rapid degradation.
• High-temperature endurance: 8000 hours at 125°C provides predictable lifetime performance in elevated-temperature environments.
• AEC‑Q200 qualified: Qualification that supports use in automotive-grade designs requiring standardized reliability testing.
• Lead-free reflow compatible: Fully compatible with lead-free reflow processes up to a 260°C peak for modern SMT assembly flows.
• Compact SMD footprint: Small can package (1.0 × 0.8 cm) with defined land pattern simplifies PCB integration in space-constrained designs.
