Overview of PCV1E151MCL2GS – Conductive Polymer Aluminum Solid Electrolytic Capacitor, 25 V, 150 µF
The PCV1E151MCL2GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a chip-style can package. It delivers 150 µF at 25 V with low ESR and high ripple-current capability, targeted for demanding power-filtering and decoupling roles in electronics. Built for robust thermal and electrical endurance, it is suitable for designs requiring long life at elevated temperatures and AEC‑Q200 qualification for automotive applications.
Key Features
- Capacitance and Voltage — 150 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 25 V and a capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20%.
- Low ESR / High Ripple Handling — ESR of 26 mΩ (measured at 20°C, 100 kHz) with low-frequency ripple current of 1.5 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 3.0 A (100 kHz), enabling effective smoothing in power delivery circuits.
- Loss Tangent (tan δ) — tanδ = 0.12 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, supporting predictable impedance and dissipation characteristics.
- Temperature and Endurance — Rated for operation from −55°C to +105°C with a load life/endurance of 3000 hours at 105°C.
- Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 750 µA after conditioning, supporting low standby losses in many applications.
- SMD Chip Package — Chip-type radial can SMD package (φ10 × 8 mm) designed for surface-mount assembly; supplied in embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing and compatible with lead-free reflow profiles up to 260°C peak per the series specification.
- Qualification and Compliance — AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, meeting automotive-grade qualification and environmental directives in the product data.
Typical Applications
- Automotive Electronics — Power decoupling and filtering in automotive ECUs and power modules, leveraging AEC‑Q200 qualification and 105°C endurance.
- Power Supply Filtering — Bulk and output filtering for DC–DC converters and voltage regulators where low ESR and high ripple current are required.
- Industrial Control — Energy smoothing and transient suppression in motor drive controls and industrial power subsystems operating across wide temperature ranges.
- Telecommunications and Networking — Local decoupling on high-frequency regulator outputs and power islands to improve stability and transient response.
Unique Advantages
- High ripple-current capability: 1.5 A (120 Hz) and 3.0 A (100 kHz) ratings reduce thermal stress and allow smaller parallel capacitor counts for a given ripple requirement.
- Low ESR (26 mΩ): Minimizes voltage drop and power dissipation at high frequency, improving regulator efficiency and thermal margin.
- High-temperature endurance: 3000 hours at 105°C supports long-term reliability in elevated-temperature environments.
- Automotive-grade qualification: AEC‑Q200 qualification provides design assurance for automotive and similarly demanding applications.
- SMD chip form factor with moisture protection: Compact φ10 × 8 mm package supplied in embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing for efficient SMT assembly and handling.
- Predictable electrical behavior: Specified tanδ, leakage, and impedance ratios give engineers measurable parameters for thermal and stability calculations.
