PCV1D221MCL7GS

The PCV1D221MCL7GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic SMD capacitor optimized for applications that demand low ESR and high ripple-current capability. It delivers 220 µF at a 20 V rating in a compact surface-mount can package.

Designed with automotive-grade reliability in mind, this part is AEC-Q200 qualified, RoHS compliant and supports lead-free reflow soldering up to a 260°C peak. It offers a 3000-hour load life at 105°C for long-term stability in high-temperature environments.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 220 µF capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a 20 V rated voltage, delivering stable capacitance for power rail decoupling in high-demand circuits.
• Low ESR — 22 mΩ equivalent series resistance measured at 100 kHz, minimizing voltage drop and heat generation under high-frequency load.
• High Ripple Current — Rated for 1.85 A at 120 Hz and 3.7 A at 100 kHz, enabling effective smoothing and energy buffering in high-ripple applications.
• Robust Endurance — Load life specified at 3000 hours at 105°C; after this test the part meets capacitance, tan δ and ESR retention criteria defined in the datasheet.
• Automotive Qualification & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU,(EU)2015/863), supporting regulated product designs.
• SMD Package & Assembly — Surface-mount radial can package with a 1.0 cm × 0.8 cm footprint and an 8.3 mm × 8.3 mm recommended land pattern; compatible with lead-free reflow soldering (260°C peak, single reflow per datasheet conditions).
• Wide Operating Temperature — Rated for −55°C to +105°C operation for stability across temperature extremes.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Suitable for use in automotive modules where AEC-Q200 qualification and long-term high-temperature endurance are required.
• High-Ripple Power Systems — Matches designs that require high ripple-current handling and low ESR to improve power-stage efficiency.
• SMD Power Modules — Compact surface-mount can package and reflow compatibility make it appropriate for space-constrained board-level power solutions.

Unique Advantages

• Long High-Temperature Life: 3000-hour load life at 105°C supports durability in elevated-temperature deployments.
• Low Loss at High Frequency: 22 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and specified high-frequency ripple current reduce heat and improve stability in switching supplies.
• AEC-Q200 Qualification: Enables use in regulated automotive and similarly demanding applications requiring component-level qualification.
• Reflow-Compatible SMD Can: Lead-free reflow to 260°C simplifies PCB assembly while meeting the datasheet’s soldering heat requirements.
• RoHS Compliance: Conforms to current RoHS directives for filtered regulatory acceptance.
• Compact Footprint: Small can size with defined land pattern helps conserve PCB area without sacrificing ripple performance.
