PCS0J221MCL9GS

The PCS0J221MCL9GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor in an SMD radial-can package designed for demanding electronics. It combines low equivalent series resistance and high ripple capability with long-life endurance for sustained operation in elevated temperatures.

Targeted at automotive and industrial power applications, this AEC-Q200 qualified capacitor delivers 220 µF at 6.3 V, a rated operating range of −55 °C to 105 °C, and load life assurance of 5000 hours at 105 °C for reliable board-level energy smoothing and decoupling.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 220 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 6.3 V and ±20% tolerance, suitable for bulk decoupling and power rail stabilization.
• Conductive Polymer Dielectric — Solid conductive polymer electrolyte provides inherently low ESR and stable electrical characteristics under load.
• Low ESR / High Ripple Capability — ESR of 22 mΩ measured at 100 kHz and ripple current ratings of 1.6 A at 120 Hz and 3.2 A at 100 kHz support high-frequency and high-current applications.
• Long-Life Endurance — Rated for 5000 hours at 105 °C with defined endurance characteristics after life test, enabling extended operation in elevated-temperature environments.
• Automotive Qualification & Environmental Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), meeting automotive-grade reliability and environmental requirements.
• SMD Reflow Compatible — Chip-type SMD construction compatible with lead-free reflow soldering; peak reflow temperature correspondence up to 260 °C as specified for the PCS series.
• Package & Board Footprint — Compact radial-can SMD package with physical dimensions L: 7 × D: 8 mm and recommended land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm for dense board layouts.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronic control units (ECUs) — Energy smoothing and decoupling on power rails for reliable ECU operation across −55 °C to 105 °C.
• DC–DC converter outputs — Low ESR and high ripple current capability help reduce output voltage ripple and improve converter stability.
• Sensor and actuator power filtering — Bulk capacitance for transient suppression and stable supply to sensors and actuators in automotive modules.
• Infotainment and body electronics — Power rail decoupling and hold-up in compact SMD form factor for space-constrained modules.

Unique Advantages

• Engineered for durability: 5000 hours at 105 °C load life rating provides predictable aging behavior and long-term reliability under thermal stress.
• High-frequency performance: 22 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and a 3.2 A ripple rating at 100 kHz support demanding switching-power applications and high-frequency decoupling.
• Automotive-ready qualification: AEC-Q200 qualification aligns the part with automotive reliability expectations for use in vehicle electronics.
• Compact SMD format: Radial-can chip package with a small board footprint (8.3 × 8.3 mm land) simplifies layout in tight assemblies while providing substantial bulk capacitance.
• Process compatibility: Compatible with lead-free reflow up to the PCS series’ specified 260 °C peak profile, supporting standard surface-mount assembly flows.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports environmental and regulatory requirements for many industrial and automotive programs.
