PCS0J101MCL9GS

The PCS0J101MCL9GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor designed for surface-mount applications. It delivers a 100 µF capacitance at 6.3 V in a compact radial can SMD package optimized for robust thermal and electrical performance.

Targeted for automotive electronics and other demanding environments, this part combines long-life endurance (5,000 hours at 105 °C), low ESR, and lead-free reflow compatibility to support reliable power decoupling and filtering on compact PCBs.

Key Features

• Core Technology Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic construction for stable capacitance and performance at elevated temperatures.
• Electrical Performance 100 µF capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a rated voltage of 6.3 V; ESR of 22 mΩ measured at 100 kHz for improved transient response and lower loss.
• Ripple Current Capability Rated ripple current of 1.4 A at 120 Hz and 2.8 A at 100 kHz to handle both low- and high-frequency ripple on power rails.
• Thermal and Lifetime Reliability Load life of 5,000 hours at 105 °C and operating temperature range of −55 °C to +105 °C for long-term stability in elevated-temperature applications.
• Package and Mounting Compact radial, can-type SMD with dimensions L: 6 mm × D: 6.3 mm and recommended land size 6.6 × 6.6 mm for surface-mount PCB assembly.
• Assembly and Compliance Compatible with lead-free reflow soldering up to a 260 °C peak and RoHS-compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863); AEC‑Q200 qualified for automotive-grade reliability.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power supply filtering Use for smoothing and decoupling on vehicle power rails where long life at elevated temperature and AEC‑Q200 qualification are required.
• ECU and control modules Suitable for electronic control units and modules that demand compact SMD capacitors with low ESR and reliable ripple handling.
• Infotainment and telematics power rails Supports power conditioning in infotainment and telematics systems where stable capacitance over temperature improves system robustness.

Unique Advantages

• Long high-temperature endurance: 5,000 hours at 105 °C supports extended service life in thermally stressed environments.
• Low equivalent series resistance: 22 mΩ at 100 kHz reduces dissipation and improves transient response on high-frequency power rails.
• Broad ripple handling: Rated ripple currents of 1.4 A (120 Hz) and 2.8 A (100 kHz) accommodate both bulk and high-frequency ripple conditions.
• Automotive-ready qualification: AEC‑Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance provide confidence for use in regulated automotive electronics.
• Surface-mount convenience: Radial can SMD package with a compact footprint simplifies board layout for space-constrained designs.
• Lead-free assembly compatibility: Peak reflow temperature support to 260 °C enables modern lead-free PCB manufacturing processes.
