PCS0G331MCL9GS

The PCS0G331MCL9GS is a chip-type conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in an SMD can package designed for demanding environments. It delivers 330 µF at 4 V with low equivalent series resistance and defined ripple-current capability for board-level energy storage and decoupling in compact assemblies.

Designed and manufactured by Nichicon, this part combines long-life endurance (5,000 hours at 105°C), AEC-Q200 qualification, and lead‑free reflow compatibility to meet stringent reliability and environmental requirements.

Key Features

• Electrolyte / Construction Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic, chip-type SMD can construction for stable electrical performance.
• Capacitance & Voltage 330 µF rated capacitance at 4 V with ±20% tolerance.
• Temperature & Lifetime Operating range −55°C to +105°C and load life of 5,000 hours at 105°C as specified in the datasheet.
• Low ESR & Ripple Performance ESR of 22 mΩ measured at 100 kHz; ripple current ratings of 1.6 A at 120 Hz and 3.2 A at 100 kHz.
• Package & PCB Integration Surface-mount (Radial, Can - SMD) package with body dimensions L: 7 × D: 8 mm and recommended land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm for compact layout.
• Soldering & Environmental Compliance Lead-free reflow soldering compatible with a 260°C peak profile and compliant to RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863). AEC-Q200 qualified.

Typical Applications

• Automotive systems — AEC-Q200 qualification and a 5,000‑hour load life at 105°C make this capacitor suitable for automotive electronics where long-term thermal endurance is required.
• Board-level decoupling and smoothing — 330 µF capacitance and 22 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz support effective smoothing and transient suppression on compact SMD boards.
• High-frequency power circuits — Specified ripple current up to 3.2 A at 100 kHz provides capability for high-frequency converter and regulator applications on space-constrained PCBs.

Unique Advantages

• Automotive-grade reliability: AEC-Q200 qualification plus a demonstrated 5,000-hour life at 105°C provide documented endurance for demanding applications.
• Low-loss high-frequency performance: 22 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and a 3.2 A ripple current rating at 100 kHz enable efficient decoupling in high-frequency power stages.
• Compact SMD can package: Small L:7 × D:8 mm footprint and defined land pattern (8.3 × 8.3 mm) reduce PCB area while maintaining handleable capacitance.
• Lead-free manufacturing ready: Compatible with lead‑free reflow soldering up to a 260°C peak, supporting modern assembly processes.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant to 2011/65/EU and (EU)2015/863 for environmental assurance.
