Overview of PCS1C390MCL9GS – Conductive Polymer Aluminum Solid Electrolytic Capacitor (39 µF, 16 V)
The PCS1C390MCL9GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor in an SMD radial-can package, offering 39 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating. It is designed for applications requiring long-term stability under elevated temperatures and is AEC-Q200 qualified with RoHS compliance.
Key attributes include a 5000-hour load life at 105°C, low equivalent series resistance, and compatibility with lead-free reflow soldering (260°C peak), making it suitable for demanding automotive electronics and related power-management applications.
Key Features
- Dielectric and Construction — Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolyte in a chip (radial can SMD) package for stable capacitance and long-life operation.
- Capacitance & Tolerance — 39 µF nominal with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
- Voltage Rating — Rated for 16 V DC operation.
- Temperature Range & Endurance — Rated for −55°C to +105°C with a specified load life of 5000 hours at 105°C; meets endurance recovery requirements after test conditions.
- Low ESR and Ripple Handling — ESR of 30 mΩ at 100 kHz; ripple current ratings of 1.1 A at 120 Hz and 2.2 A at 100 kHz support power filtering and decoupling at both low and high frequencies.
- Soldering and Assembly — SMD type compatible with lead-free reflow soldering up to a 260°C peak (single reflow at ≤260°C); designed for standard pre-heat and reflow profiles as specified.
- Reliability & Qualification — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863); damp-heat and soldering-heat endurance data available per datasheet.
- Package & Footprint — Compact dimensions (L: 6 × D: 6.3 mm) with a recommended land pattern of 6.6 × 6.6 mm and a seated height up to 6 mm.
Typical Applications
- Automotive power electronics — Bulk decoupling and local energy storage on vehicle power rails where AEC-Q200 qualification and 105°C endurance are required.
- Electronic control modules — Stability and ripple suppression for control and driver circuits that demand low ESR and long life under elevated temperatures.
- Sensor and actuator circuits — Local filtering and transient support in automotive sensing and actuation systems benefiting from low ESR and high-frequency ripple capability.
Unique Advantages
- Long-term high-temperature endurance — Rated for 5000 hours at 105°C, helping maintain capacitance and performance in elevated-temperature environments.
- AEC-Q200 qualification — Designed to meet automotive component quality requirements for use in vehicle electronics.
- Low ESR for improved efficiency — 30 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces I²R losses and improves filtering performance at high frequencies.
- High ripple capability — Ripple current ratings (1.1 A at 120 Hz, 2.2 A at 100 kHz) support both low‑ and high‑frequency power conditioning tasks.
- Lead-free reflow ready — Compatible with lead-free assembly processes up to a 260°C peak, easing integration into modern manufacturing flows.
- Compact SMD radial-can package — Small footprint (6 × 6.3 mm) and defined land pattern simplify PCB layout for space-constrained designs.
