PCR1C221MCL1GS

The PCR1C221MCL1GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor designed for high-reliability power applications. It combines low ESR and high ripple-current capability with long-term endurance at elevated temperature, making it suitable for demanding assemblies that require stable capacitance and low impedance over time.

This chip-type capacitor is AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, offers a rated capacitance of 220 µF at 16 V, and is designed for operation across a wide temperature range from −55°C to +125°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 220 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 16 V and a tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• Conductive Polymer Solid Electrolyte — Chip-type construction providing solid electrolyte performance for stable electrical characteristics.
• Low ESR and High Ripple Current — ESR of 30 mΩ at 100 kHz and ripple current ratings up to 1.5 A at 100 kHz (750 mA at 120 Hz) to support high-frequency power conversion and filtering.
• Extended High‑Temperature Life — Rated for 4000 hours at 125°C with endurance specifications (capacitance change within ±20%, ESR and tan δ within specified limits after endurance).
• Wide Operating Temperature Range — Specified for use from −55°C to +125°C, with controlled impedance characteristics across temperature.
• SMD Package and Reflow Compatibility — Radial can in an SMD chip package (L: 7 × D: 8 mm) compatible with lead‑free reflow soldering up to a 260°C peak (pre‑heat and time-above‑temperature conditions per specified profile).
• Standards and Compliance — AEC‑Q200 qualified and compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronic Modules — AEC‑Q200 qualification and high-temperature endurance make this capacitor suitable for automotive control units and power modules that demand long-term stability.
• Power Conversion — Low ESR and high ripple-current capability support DC‑DC converters and voltage regulation stages where high-frequency filtering and energy buffering are required.
• Industrial Power Electronics — Long life at 125°C and robust impedance characteristics suit industrial controllers and power supplies operating in elevated-temperature environments.
• High‑Reliability Embedded Systems — Surface-mount conductive polymer construction provides reliable bulk capacitance and low impedance for compact, high-performance boards.

Unique Advantages

• Proven High-Temperature Endurance: 4000 hours at 125°C ensures predictable aging and performance retention in hot operating environments.
• Low-Impedance Performance: 30 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and high ripple-current ratings reduce voltage ripple and thermal stress in power stages.
• AEC‑Q200 Qualification: Formally qualified for demanding applications, simplifying component selection for designs requiring recognized reliability standards.
• Surface-Mount, Reflow-Compatible Form: SMD can package with lead‑free reflow compatibility to 260°C streamlines assembly and aligns with modern manufacturing processes.
• Wide Temperature Range: −55°C to +125°C rating and controlled impedance across temperature support designs exposed to broad environmental extremes.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets current RoHS requirements for lead-free designs and regulatory compliance.
