Overview of PCV1C271MCL1GS – Conductive Polymer Aluminum Solid Electrolytic Capacitor
The PCV1C271MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor in an SMD can package, offering low equivalent series resistance and high ripple current capability. Built for long-life operation, it provides a 270 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating with an endurance specification of 3000 hours at 105°C.
This part targets applications that require durable, low-ESR decoupling and energy-buffering in constrained board space, and is qualified to AEC-Q200 with RoHS compliance and lead-free reflow compatibility to a 260°C peak.
Key Features
- Dielectric / Construction Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a chip-type (can) SMD package, providing polarized capacitance in a compact form.
- Capacitance & Voltage 270 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 16 V with tolerance ±20% (–20% to +20%).
- Low ESR and High Ripple Handling ESR of 26 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, with ripple current ratings of 2.3 A at 100 kHz and 1.15 A at 120 Hz, supporting high-frequency and low-frequency ripple conditions.
- Long Life / High Temperature Endurance Load life specified as 3000 hours at 105°C; specified operating temperature range is –55°C to +105°C.
- Automotive Qualification & Reliability AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), supporting regulated-environment qualification requirements.
- SMD Compatibility & Soldering Surface-mount radial can (can-type SMD) with lead-free reflow soldering compatibility up to a 260°C peak and defined soldering profiles for reliable assembly.
- Package & Board Land Compact footprint with overall dimensions L: 1.2 × D: 0.8 cm and recommended land size L: 8.3 × W: 8.3 mm for PCB layout.
Typical Applications
- Automotive — Power Filtering Low ESR (26 mΩ at 100 kHz) and high ripple current capability support power-line filtering where reduced loss and stable decoupling are required.
- Automotive — Power Supply Stabilization 270 µF capacitance at 16 V helps stabilize local DC rails and smooth transient currents in automotive electronics.
