PCS1A151MCL9GS

The PCS1A151MCL9GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor in an SMD can package, designed for long-life operation. It provides 150 µF capacitance at a 10 V rating with polarized construction and a ±20% tolerance.

Built for demanding environments, the capacitor is qualified to AEC-Q200, rated for operation from −55 °C to +105 °C, and specified for a load life of 5000 hours at 105 °C. Key electrical characteristics include a low ESR and specified ripple current ratings for both low and high frequency operation.

Key Features

• Core Technology Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic, chip-type SMD construction with long-life assurance (5000 hours at 105 °C).
• Capacitance & Voltage 150 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 10 V with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Low ESR & Ripple Handling ESR specified at 30 mΩ (100 kHz, 20 °C) with ripple current ratings of 2.6 A at 100 kHz and 1.3 A at 120 Hz.
• Temperature & Endurance Operating temperature range −55 °C to +105 °C and endurance specified to meet performance after 5000 hours at 105 °C per the datasheet.
• AEC-Q200 Qualified Meeting AEC-Q200 qualification for use in applications requiring component-level automotive qualification.
• SMD Assembly Compatible Designed for lead-free reflow soldering with a peak temperature correspondence of 260 °C (single reflow as specified).
• Package & Mounting Surface-mount, radial can SMD package with case footprint L: 7 × D: 8 mm and recommended land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm.
• Environmental Compliance Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronic modules — Energy storage and decoupling in in-vehicle control units where AEC-Q200 qualification and long-life at elevated temperature are required.
• Power supply filtering — Bulk smoothing and high-frequency ripple handling in compact, surface-mount power stages.
• Embedded systems — Local energy reservoir and transient suppression for board-level power rails operating across −55 °C to +105 °C.

Unique Advantages

• Long high-temperature endurance: 5000 hours rated at 105 °C provides predictable life performance for extended service in hot environments.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 qualification supports selection for vehicle electronics and other demanding applications.
• Low ESR at high frequency: 30 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz aids in reducing voltage ripple and improving converter stability.
• Dual-frequency ripple capability: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 100 kHz cover both low-frequency smoothing and high-frequency switching environments.
• Assembly-ready SMD design: Lead-free reflow compatibility (260 °C peak correspondence) simplifies surface-mount manufacturing.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity reduces material compliance overhead for regulated programs.
