Overview of PCV1H150MCL1GS – 50 V, 15 µF Conductive Polymer Aluminum Capacitor (SMD)
The PCV1H150MCL1GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum electrolytic capacitor offering 15 µF at a 50 V rating. It combines low equivalent series resistance and high ripple-current capability in a compact SMD radial-can package for demanding power applications.
Designed for long-term reliability, the device is AEC-Q200 qualified, RoHS compliant, and rated for a 3000-hour load life at 105°C. It supports lead-free reflow soldering (peak 260°C) for modern assembly processes.
Key Features
- Electrical Performance — 15 µF capacitance at 50 V with ±20% tolerance and low ESR (63 mΩ measured at 100 kHz) for efficient energy storage and fast response.
- High Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 550 mA at 120 Hz and 1.1 A at 100 kHz to handle demanding AC and high-frequency power conditions.
- Reliability & Endurance — Load life of 3000 hours at 105°C; endurance and leakage current specifications are defined per the series datasheet.
- Temperature Range — Specified operation from -55°C to +105°C to cover a wide range of environmental conditions.
- Package & Assembly — Surface-mount radial can (SMD) with compact dimensions L: 7 × D: 8 mm and recommended land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm; compatible with lead-free reflow at a 260°C peak.
- Standards & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and compliant with RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
- Polarized Design — Polar capacitor suitable for DC energy storage and filtering applications requiring polarized components.
Typical Applications
- Automotive Electronics — Suitable for automotive systems where AEC-Q200 qualification and extended 105°C life are required.
- Power Supply Filtering — Used for decoupling and smoothing in power rails that demand low ESR and high ripple-current capacity.
- Compact Power Modules — Fits small-form-factor SMD assemblies where a radial-can footprint and high-performance capacitor are needed.
Unique Advantages
- Low ESR for improved efficiency: 63 mΩ (100 kHz) ESR reduces power loss and heat generation in high-frequency circuits.
- High ripple handling: Rated for 1.1 A at 100 kHz and 550 mA at 120 Hz to support demanding AC and switching environments.
- Long high-temperature life: 3000-hour endurance at 105°C provides predictable performance in elevated temperature applications.
- Assembly-ready SMD format: Lead-free reflow compatibility (260°C peak) and defined land pattern simplify PCB integration and manufacturing.
- Industry qualification and compliance: AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance support regulated and high-reliability designs.
