PCV1H8R2MCL1GS

The PCV1H8R2MCL1GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon's PCV series. It delivers 8.2 µF capacitance at a 50 V rating with low equivalent series resistance and elevated ripple-current capability.

Engineered for demanding environments, this chip-type capacitor is targeted at automotive applications where voltage handling, low ESR, and long-term reliability are required. Key value propositions include low ESR (81 mΩ @ 100 kHz), high-frequency ripple handling (800 mA @ 100 kHz), and a proven 3000-hour life at 105°C.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 8.2 µF capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a rated voltage of 50 V; ESR specified at 81 mΩ at 100 kHz and 20°C for low-loss operation.
• Ripple Current Capacity — Rated ripple capability of 400 mA at 120 Hz and 800 mA at 100 kHz to support both low- and high-frequency decoupling and filtering requirements.
• Temperature & Lifetime — Operates from −55°C to +105°C with a rated load life of 3000 hours at 105°C, supporting extended durability under elevated-temperature conditions.
• Reliability & Qualification — AEC-Q200 qualified and compliant with RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), reflecting suitability for regulated, high-reliability applications.
• Package & Assembly — Chip-type SMD (φ6.3 × 6 mm) in an embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing; compatible with lead-free reflow processes per series guidelines.
• Leakage & Dissipation — Leakage current specified at 82 µA and tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.12 at 20°C, 120 Hz, enabling predictable power dissipation characteristics.

Typical Applications

• Automotive — power electronics — AEC-Q200 qualification, 50 V rating and low ESR make this capacitor suitable for automotive power-supply filtering and decoupling in vehicle electronics.
• Automotive — high-ripple environments — 800 mA HF ripple current rating and 400 mA LF ripple rating address high-frequency switching and pulse-current demands in automotive modules.
• Automotive — high-temperature durable systems — Rated for operation to 105°C with a 3000-hour endurance, supporting long-term reliability in elevated-temperature compartments.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR for efficient filtering: 81 mΩ at 100 kHz reduces losses and helps maintain stable voltage regulation under dynamic load.
• High ripple-handling capability: 800 mA (100 kHz) and 400 mA (120 Hz) ratings provide margin for both switching-frequency and line-frequency ripple currents.
• Long-term high-temperature endurance: 3000 hours at 105°C supports designs requiring extended operational life in hot environments.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 rating attests to compliance with automotive component qualification criteria for reliability-focused designs.
• Compact SMD can footprint: φ6.3 × 6 mm chip package balances board area and capacitance for space-constrained modules.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity for use in regulated markets and supply chains.
