PCV1H101MCL2GS

The PCV1H101MCL2GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic, chip-type surface-mount capacitor designed for long-life, high-reliability power applications. It combines a 100 µF capacitance with a 50 V rated voltage, low ESR and high ripple-current capability to support demanding board-level power filtering and decoupling functions.

Engineered for robust operating conditions, this SMD capacitor is AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, offering a 3000-hour load life at 105°C and compatibility with lead-free reflow soldering up to a 260°C peak.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 100 µF nominal capacitance with a 50 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance for predictable energy storage and decoupling performance.
• Low ESR and High Ripple Handling — ESR of 27 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, with ripple-current ratings of 1.8 A at 120 Hz and 3.6 A at 100 kHz to support high-frequency and high-current power stages.
• Long Life at Elevated Temperature — Rated for 3000 hours at 105°C, providing extended endurance in thermally demanding environments.
• Automotive-Grade Reliability — AEC-Q200 qualified and specified for an operating temperature range of −55°C to +105°C, suited to automotive electronics that require validated component robustness.
• SMD Package and Reflow Compatibility — Radial, can-style SMD package for surface-mount assembly, compatible with lead-free reflow soldering conditions up to a 260°C peak.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant to 2011/65/EU and (EU)2015/863, supporting regulatory requirements for lead-free designs.
• Board Footprint — Compact size with body dimensions L: 1.27 × D: 1.0 cm and recommended land size L: 1.03 × W: 1.03 cm for PCB layout planning.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Suitable for automotive electronic modules where AEC-Q200 qualification, 50 V rating and extended high-temperature life are required.
• Power Supply Filtering — Use for bulk decoupling and smoothing in DC–DC converters and regulator outputs that demand 100 µF capacitance with low ESR and high ripple capability.
• High-Ripple Current Power Stages — Ideal for board-level power stages and intermediate bus capacitors where high-frequency ripple current handling (3.6 A at 100 kHz) is important.
• Surface-Mount Production — Designed for automated surface-mount assembly processes and lead-free reflow environments up to a 260°C peak.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR for Improved Efficiency: The 27 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces losses and helps maintain voltage stability under dynamic load conditions.
• High Ripple-Current Capability: Rated ripple currents of 1.8 A (120 Hz) and 3.6 A (100 kHz) support high-performance switching supplies and power converters.
• Extended High-Temperature Life: 3000-hour endurance at 105°C increases system longevity in elevated temperature applications.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification: AEC-Q200 qualification provides a verified reliability baseline for use in automotive electronic systems.
• Packaging and Assembly Friendly: Radial can SMD format and lead-free reflow compatibility simplify integration into standard surface-mount production flows.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS conformity supports use in regulated markets and designs requiring restricted-substance compliance.
