PCR1V271MCL1GS

The PCR1V271MCL1GS from Nichicon is a high-reliability conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in an SMD radial-can package. It delivers 270 µF at 35 V in a compact surface-mount footprint and is designed for demanding thermal and electrical environments.

As a member of the PCR series, this part combines low ESR and high ripple-current capability with long-term endurance (4000 hours at 125°C) and AEC‑Q200 qualification for use in systems where reliability and temperature tolerance are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & voltage: 270 µF rated at 35 V with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C, providing bulk energy storage in a compact SMD package.
• Low ESR: 20 mOhm specified at 100 kHz, supporting low-loss operation in high-frequency power and decoupling applications.
• High ripple-current capability: 1.55 A at 120 Hz and 3.1 A at 100 kHz to handle pulsed and switching currents.
• High-temperature endurance: Long life of 4000 hours at 125°C, enabling use in elevated-temperature environments.
• Wide operating temperature range: −55°C to +125°C for reliable performance across harsh thermal conditions.
• SMD, lead‑free reflow compatible: Surface-mount radial can designed for lead-free reflow soldering with a 260°C peak solder profile.
• AEC‑Q200 qualified: Meets AEC‑Q200 qualification requirements for applications demanding automotive-grade reliability.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Compact footprint: Package dimensions L × D = 1 × 1 cm with surface-mount land size of 1.03 × 1.03 cm for space-constrained designs.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics: AEC‑Q200 qualification and high-temperature endurance support use in automotive modules and control systems.
• High-temperature power electronics: Long life at 125°C and stable ESR across temperature make this capacitor suitable for power stages and converters operating in elevated temperatures.
• Compact SMD power assemblies: Low ESR and high ripple-current ratings enable effective decoupling and bulk storage in space-constrained surface-mount layouts.

Unique Advantages

• Proven high-temperature reliability: 4000 hours rated life at 125°C reduces risk of premature aging in thermal-stressed designs.
• Maintains ESR after endurance: ESR specifications are maintained after endurance testing, with ESR performance measured at 100 kHz and verified at −40°C following endurance.
• High ripple handling with low loss: 20 mOhm ESR and multi-ampere ripple ratings lower thermal dissipation and improve efficiency in switching applications.
• Automotive-capable qualification: AEC‑Q200 status supports use in automotive systems where component qualification is required.
• Manufacturing-ready SMD package: Designed for lead-free reflow at a 260°C peak and compact land pattern to simplify assembly and save board area.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity for environmental compliance in commercial and regulated applications.
