PCV1E151MCL1GS

The PCV1E151MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in an SMD can (chip) package designed for high-voltage, long-life applications. It combines low ESR and high ripple-current capability with a compact surface-mount form factor for power-dense designs.

Targeted uses include automotive and industrial power systems where high ripple tolerance, long endurance, and robust temperature performance are required. Key value comes from low loss at high frequency, a 3000-hour load life at 105°C, and AEC-Q200 qualification.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 150 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 25 V and ±20% tolerance.
• Low ESR — 28 mΩ ESR measured at 100 kHz, supporting low-loss operation in high-frequency power and decoupling applications.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 2.2 A at 100 kHz and 1.1 A at 120 Hz for demanding power-supply filtering and transient handling.
• Long Life / High Temperature Endurance — Load life specified as 3000 hours at 105°C; operational temperature range from −55°C to +105°C.
• Robust Qualification & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• SMD Can Package & Assembly — Radial can, chip-type surface-mount package with recommended land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm; lead‑free reflow peak correspondence at 260°C.
• Polarized — Designed as a polarized electrolytic capacitor for DC applications.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Power Electronics — Bulk filtering and decoupling in ECUs and power modules where AEC-Q200 qualification and high ripple handling are required.
• DC-DC Converters — Input/output smoothing and high-frequency decoupling, benefiting from low ESR (28 mΩ at 100 kHz) and high ripple-current capacity.
• Industrial Power Supplies — Energy buffering and transient suppression in compact surface-mount power assemblies across −55°C to +105°C.

Unique Advantages

• Long high-temperature endurance: 3000 hours at 105°C provides predictable aging and durability in elevated-temperature environments.
• Low-frequency and high-frequency performance: Dual ripple ratings (1.1 A at 120 Hz, 2.2 A at 100 kHz) cover both legacy and modern switching-power topologies.
• Low ESR at 100 kHz: 28 mΩ ESR supports efficient decoupling and reduces heat dissipation in tight power designs.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 qualification and explicit application listing for automotive use support vehicle-grade design requirements.
• SMD can package for automated assembly: Chip-type radial can in a surface-mount format with recommended land pattern simplifies PCB integration and reflow assembly.
• Standards compliance: RoHS compliance ensures conformity with lead‑free and restricted-substance requirements.
