PCV1J120MCL2GS

The PCV1J120MCL2GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in an SMD can package, designed for high-voltage, long-life applications. This chip-type capacitor combines low ESR and high ripple-current capability with a compact footprint for space-constrained assemblies.

Engineered for automotive and industrial applications, the part delivers a 12 µF capacitance at a 63 V rating, AEC-Q200 qualification, RoHS compliance, and a 3000-hour load life at 105°C for reliable operation in demanding environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 12 µF nominal capacitance with a 63 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable for mid-voltage rail designs.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Capability: ESR of 70 mΩ measured at 100 kHz and ripple current ratings of 550 mA at 120 Hz and 1.1 A at 100 kHz, enabling efficient filtering and reduced loss under AC stress.
• Long Life Endurance: Load life of 3000 hours at 105°C with defined post-test limits for capacitance, tan δ and ESR, supporting extended field reliability.
• Temperature Range: Rated for −55°C to +105°C operation, maintaining performance across broad environmental conditions.
• Surface-Mount Package: Radial can SMD package with body dimensions L: 7 × D: 8 mm and recommended land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm for compact board integration.
• Assembly Compatibility: Lead-free reflow soldering compatible with a 260°C peak profile (single reflow) to support modern PCBA processes.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification & Compliance: AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), meeting industry environmental and qualification requirements.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Power Electronics — Bulk filtering and decoupling on vehicle power rails where AEC-Q200 qualification and high ripple capability are required.
• DC-DC Converter Outputs — Output smoothing on mid-voltage converters leveraging low ESR and high-frequency ripple current rating.
• Industrial Power Modules — Local energy storage and ripple suppression in compact power assemblies operating up to 105°C.

Unique Advantages

• High Ripple Endurance: Measured ripple ratings at both low and high frequencies reduce stress on power rails and help maintain stable voltage under dynamic loads.
• Low Losses: 70 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz minimizes dissipation in high-frequency applications, improving efficiency and thermal performance.
• Automotive-Grade Reliability: AEC-Q200 qualification plus a 3000-hour life at 105°C provide documented endurance for demanding designs.
• Process-Ready SMD Form Factor: Compact radial can SMD package and lead-free reflow compatibility simplify automated assembly and maximize board density.
• Wide Operating Range: −55°C to +105°C rating supports diverse environmental requirements from cold startups to elevated operating temperatures.
