Overview of PCR1E271MCL1GS – 270 µF, 25 V Conductive Polymer Aluminum SMD Capacitor
The PCR1E271MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic surface-mount capacitor offering 270 µF capacitance at 25 V. It combines low equivalent series resistance and high ripple-current capability in a compact SMD can for designs that require stable performance across a wide temperature range.
Designed for demanding environments, this part is AEC-Q200 qualified, RoHS compliant, and available in mass production with embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing, making it suitable for applications that require robust, long-life power filtering and decoupling solutions.
Key Features
- Dielectric / Construction Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a chip-type, high-reliability SMD can.
- Capacitance & Rated Voltage 270 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at a rated voltage of 25 V.
- Low ESR & High Ripple Handling ESR of 19 mΩ (measured at 20°C, 100 kHz) and ripple-current ratings of 1.65 A at 120 Hz and 3.3 A at 100 kHz for improved power-stage efficiency and thermal performance.
- Wide Temperature Range & Endurance Operates from −55°C to +125°C with endurance of 4000 hours at 125°C; performance after endurance meets specified limits for capacitance, tan δ and ESR.
- AEC-Q200 Qualified & Reliability Meets AEC-Q200 qualification and includes series-level endurance and damp-heat performance limits suitable for demanding electronic systems.
- Assembly Compatibility Surface-mount radial can designed for lead-free reflow (peak up to 260°C per series specification) and supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for automated assembly.
- Compact Footprint Package size φ8 × 12 mm (L: 1.2 × D: 0.8 cm) with recommended land pattern 8.3 × 8.3 mm to support dense PCB layouts.
- Environmental Compliance RoHS directive compliant.
Typical Applications
- Automotive electronics — Suitable for vehicle electronic modules that require AEC-Q200 qualified components and long-term high-temperature endurance.
- Power conversion and DC–DC converters — Low ESR and high ripple-current capability make it suitable for output filtering and bulk decoupling in power stages.
- Industrial and embedded systems — Robust temperature range (−55°C to +125°C) and 4000-hour life at 125°C support high-reliability embedded power designs.
Unique Advantages
- High ripple tolerance: Ripple-current ratings of 1.65 A (120 Hz) and 3.3 A (100 kHz) help reduce temperature rise and improve converter efficiency.
- Very low ESR: 19 mΩ at 100 kHz (20°C) lowers power loss and voltage drop under dynamic load.
- Long high-temperature life: 4000 hours at 125°C delivers predictable aging and reliability in elevated-temperature environments.
- AEC-Q200 qualification: Provides a validated reliability baseline for designs targeting automotive and other demanding applications.
- SMD assembly ready: Compatible with lead-free reflow profiles and packaged for automated placement, simplifying production integration.
- Compact SMD can footprint: Small φ8 × 12 mm package supports space-constrained board designs without sacrificing capacitance.
