PCM1V331MCL1GS

The PCM1V331MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a chip-style, surface-mount can package designed for high-reliability, high-temperature applications. It delivers 330 µF at 35 V with low equivalent series resistance and elevated ripple-current capability.

Targeted for demanding environments, this part combines long-life endurance (8,000 hours at 125°C), AEC‑Q200 qualification, and RoHS compliance to support robust power delivery in automotive and other high-temperature electronics.

Key Features

• Electrolyte & Core Technology Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic construction for low ESR and stable performance over temperature.
• Capacitance & Voltage 330 µF rated capacitance with a 35 V working voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Current ESR specified at 16 mΩ (100 kHz, 20°C) with ripple-current ratings of 1.75 A at 120 Hz and 3.5 A at 100 kHz for improved power-handling and reduced loss.
• High-Temperature Endurance Long operational life of 8,000 hours at 125°C and guaranteed ESR performance after endurance testing, supporting reliable operation in elevated-temperature systems.
• AEC‑Q200 Qualified & RoHS Compliant AEC‑Q200 qualification and compliance with RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for regulated markets.
• SMD Reflow Compatible Designed for lead‑free reflow soldering with peak temperatures up to 260°C (two reflow cycles maximum under specified conditions).
• Package & Footprint Radial can-style SMD package with a compact PCB land recommendation of 1.03 × 1.03 cm for space-constrained designs.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Suited for automotive power circuits where AEC‑Q200 qualification, wide temperature range (−55°C to +125°C), and long life at elevated temperature are required.
• High-temperature electronic assemblies — Designed for boards and modules that operate continuously at elevated temperatures and require reflow compatibility to 260°C peak.
• Compact surface-mount power modules — Provides 330 µF bulk capacitance and low ESR in a small SMD can package to support decoupling and energy storage in space-constrained designs.

Unique Advantages

• Low-loss power delivery: 16 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz minimizes losses and improves efficiency in high-frequency power circuits.
• High ripple tolerance: Rated ripple currents of 3.5 A (100 kHz) and 1.75 A (120 Hz) enable sustained operation under heavy AC loading.
• Extended high-temperature life: 8,000 hours at 125°C offers predictable longevity for thermal-stressed applications.
• Automotive-grade reliability: AEC‑Q200 qualification supports use in automotive systems that demand component-level reliability.
• Reflow-ready SMD convenience: Lead‑free reflow compatibility (260°C peak) simplifies assembly and supports modern manufacturing processes.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for environmental and market requirements.
