Overview of PCS0J391MCL1GS – Conductive Polymer Aluminum Solid Electrolytic Capacitor, 390 μF, 6.3 V, SMD
The PCS0J391MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a chip-type SMD can designed for long-life operation. It offers 390 μF capacitance at a 6.3 V rating with low ESR and defined ripple-current capability for demanding power applications.
Built for robust environments, the part is AEC-Q200 qualified, RoHS compliant, and specified for a load life of 5000 hours at 105°C. It is compatible with lead-free reflow processes (260°C peak correspondence) and supports an operating temperature range of -55°C to +105°C.
Key Features
- Core Type – Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a chip (chip-type) SMD can.
- Capacitance & Voltage – 390 μF rated capacitance with a 6.3 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance.
- Low ESR – ESR of 22 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, enabling efficient power delivery and reduced dissipation in high-frequency conditions.
- Ripple Current Handling – Rated ripple current of 1.6 A at 120 Hz and 3.2 A at 100 kHz for power-conditioning applications.
- Long-Life Reliability – Load life specified as 5000 hours at 105°C with defined limits on capacitance change, tan δ and ESR after endurance testing.
- Automotive Qualification – AEC-Q200 qualified and explicitly listed for automotive applications.
- Thermal & Soldering – SMD, lead-free reflow soldering condition correspondence up to 260°C peak; suitable for standard lead-free assembly flows as specified in the product series data.
- Package & Footprint – Compact can SMD package, dimensions L: 7 × D: 8 mm with recommended land size L: 8.3 × W: 8.3 mm; polarized component.
Typical Applications
- Automotive electronic modules — Smoothing and decoupling on 6.3 V power rails within in-vehicle electronics where AEC-Q200 qualification and high-temperature endurance are required.
- Power conditioning — Local energy storage and ripple attenuation in power converters and regulators that require 390 μF capacitance with defined ripple-current capability.
- High-temperature electronics — Use in systems that operate across -55°C to +105°C and demand long-life performance (5000 hours at 105°C).
Unique Advantages
- Long operational life: Engineered for a 5000-hour load life at 105°C, providing predictable performance over extended high-temperature service.
- Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 qualification supports deployment in in-vehicle electronics and other demanding automotive environments.
- Low-loss, high-frequency performance: 22 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and a 3.2 A ripple-current rating at 100 kHz enable effective high-frequency decoupling.
- Compact SMD can: Small L: 7 × D: 8 mm package with a defined land pattern reduces board area while maintaining solid electrolytic capacitance.
- Assembly-ready: Compatible with lead-free reflow soldering profiles up to a 260°C peak correspondence as specified for the series.
- Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant to 2011/65/EU and (EU)2015/863, supporting environmental and regulatory requirements.
