PCV1D271MCL1GS

The PCV1D271MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor from Nichicon’s PCV series. It provides a compact 270 µF, 20 V polarized solution in an SMD can package designed for high ripple current and low ESR at high frequencies.

Engineered for long-life and demanding environments, this capacitor targets automotive and other reliability-focused power applications where long endurance, wide temperature range, and surface-mount assembly compatibility are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 270 µF nominal capacitance with a 20 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Low ESR and High Ripple Handling — ESR of 27 mΩ measured at 100 kHz and ripple currents of 2.3 A at 100 kHz and 1.15 A at 120 Hz, supporting high-frequency decoupling and bulk smoothing.
• Long Life and Endurance — Load life rated at 3000 hours at 105°C with specified limits for capacitance change, tan δ, ESR and leakage after endurance testing.
• Temperature Range — Operational from −55°C to +105°C, with impedance stability specified across temperature extremes.
• Surface-Mount Can Package — Chip-type radial can SMD construction with a 1.0 × 1.0 cm body and recommended land size of 1.03 × 1.03 cm for board-mounting.
• Assembly and Compliance — Compatible with lead-free reflow soldering (peak correspondence to 260°C) and RoHS compliant; AEC-Q200 qualified per product data.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power electronics — Designed for automotive modules that require AEC-Q200‑qualified, long-life capacitors with high ripple capability and low ESR at 20 V operating rails.
• Board-level bulk filtering and decoupling — 270 µF capacitance and low ESR make this SMD can suitable for smoothing and decoupling on compact power boards where space and thermal endurance matter.
• Harsh-environment, long-life systems — The −55°C to +105°C rating and 3000-hour life at 105°C support designs that demand stability and longevity under elevated temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple-current capability: Specified ripple currents of 2.3 A (100 kHz) and 1.15 A (120 Hz) reduce stress on the capacitor in high-frequency power stages.
• Low ESR for efficient power delivery: 27 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz helps minimize losses and voltage drop in decoupling and bulk storage roles.
• Compact SMD can footprint: 1.0 × 1.0 cm body and defined land pattern enable high-density board layouts while retaining substantial capacitance.
• Long operational life: 3000 hours at 105°C endurance supports extended in-service lifetime for thermally stressed applications.
• AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance: Product-level qualification and environmental compliance simplify integration into regulated automotive projects.
• Reflow-compatible assembly: Lead-free reflow soldering compatibility (260°C peak correspondence) supports standard surface-mount manufacturing flows.
