Engineered for reliability, this Nichicon PCS series part is AEC‑Q200 qualified, RoHS compliant, and specified for long life with 5000 hours at 105°C, making it suitable for automotive and industrial power filtering and decoupling use cases.

Key Features

• Core Dielectric and Construction Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic formulation for stable capacitance and improved high-frequency behavior.
• Capacitance & Voltage 100 µF rated capacitance at 6.3 V with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Low ESR and High-Frequency Performance ESR of 25 mΩ specified at 100 kHz, supporting a high-frequency ripple current of 2.4 A at 100 kHz.
• Ripple Current & Low-Frequency Capability Ripple current rating of 1.2 A at 120 Hz for mains-frequency filtering and 2.4 A at 100 kHz for switching regulator outputs.
• Reliability & Endurance Load life specified at 5000 hours at 105°C; endurance and damp-heat characteristics meet the series specifications.
• Package & Mounting Surface-mount chip type in a compact L: 6 × D: 5 mm package with recommended PCB land size 5.3 × 5.3 mm; SMD can-style case.
• Soldering Compatibility Lead‑free reflow soldering condition compatible (peak up to 260°C) as specified for the PCS series.
• Environmental & Quality RoHS compliant and AEC‑Q200 qualified for applications requiring recognized component-level reliability.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power modules — Local decoupling and output smoothing in ECUs and power-supply modules where AEC‑Q200 qualification and high-temperature endurance are required.
• DC–DC converter outputs — High ripple-current and low ESR characteristics help reduce output voltage ripple in switching regulators.
• Infotainment and telematics — Bulk decoupling and transient suppression for onboard electronics exposed to wide temperature ranges.
• Industrial control electronics — Power filtering and stabilization in motor controllers, sensor interfaces, and power distribution boards operating up to 105°C.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR at 100 kHz: 25 mΩ ESR improves high-frequency filtering and reduces losses in switching power stages.
• High ripple-current capability: 2.4 A at 100 kHz and 1.2 A at 120 Hz allow use across both switching and mains-frequency applications.
• Long life at elevated temperature: 5000-hour load life at 105°C provides predictable endurance for high-temperature environments.
• AEC‑Q200 qualified: Component-level qualification supports use in automotive systems and other reliability-focused designs.
• Compact SMD form factor: Small L: 6 × D: 5 mm package and defined PCB land size enable space-efficient board layouts.
• RoHS compliant and lead‑free reflow capable: Meets modern environmental and assembly process requirements with 260°C peak reflow correspondence.
