The PCV1J220MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in an SMD chip-style package from Nichicon’s PCV series. It delivers low ESR and high ripple-current handling for power decoupling and smoothing in demanding electronic systems.

Designed for applications requiring extended endurance and elevated voltage capability, this 22 µF, 63 V polarized capacitor provides a combination of performance, long load life, and industry qualifications suited to automotive and industrial electronics.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 22 µF rated capacitance at 63 V for mid-range bulk and decoupling duties.
• Low ESR — 56 mΩ ESR measured at 100 kHz, supporting efficient high-frequency decoupling and reduced dissipation.
• High Ripple Current — 700 mA at 120 Hz and 1.4 A at 100 kHz to handle AC stress and transient current demands.
• Long Life Endurance — Load life specified at 3000 hours at 105 °C, with endurance characteristics defined for capacitance, tan δ and ESR.
• Wide Temperature Range — Operating range from −55 °C to +105 °C for use across harsh environments.
• SMD, Reflow Compatible — Chip-type, radial can SMD construction compatible with lead-free reflow soldering (peak correspondence to 260 °C as specified).
• Industry Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Package Footprint — Compact footprint: part dimensions provided as L: 0.8 × D: 1.0 cm with recommended PCB land 1.03 × 1.03 cm for surface-mount assembly.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Power Electronics — Suited for decoupling and bulk filtering in automotive control modules where AEC-Q200 qualification and high ripple capability are required.
• DC–DC Converters — Low ESR and high-frequency ripple current rating make it appropriate for output filtering and transient suppression in converter outputs.
• Embedded Power Supply Filtering — Compact SMD form factor and solid polymer electrolyte support compact board designs needing durable smoothing capacitors.
• Sensor and ECU Modules — Long load life at elevated temperature and a wide ambient range support reliable operation in sensor interfaces and electronic control units.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple-handling capability: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 100 kHz reduce voltage ripple and improve system stability under dynamic load.
• Low high-frequency loss: 56 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz minimizes power dissipation and supports efficient power delivery in high-speed circuits.
• Extended thermal endurance: 3000 hours at 105 °C provides predictable lifetime performance for designs exposed to elevated operating temperatures.
• AEC-Q200 qualification: Enables use in automotive-grade applications where industry qualification is required.
• Lead-free reflow compatible: SMD chip construction and reflow profile correspondence to 260 °C simplify assembly in modern surface-mount manufacturing flows.
• RoHS compliance: Conforms to current EU RoHS requirements for restricted substances.
