PCV1K150MCL1GS

The PCV1K150MCL1GS is a conductive‑polymer aluminum solid electrolytic surface‑mount capacitor in Nichicon's PCV series. It delivers a 15 µF capacitance at an 80 V rating with low equivalent series resistance and high ripple‑current capability, designed for demanding electronic power applications.

Targeted at automotive electronics and other systems requiring durable, high‑voltage SMD capacitors, this part combines long operational life, lead‑free reflow compatibility and AEC‑Q200 qualification to support reliable operation across a wide temperature range.

Key Features

• Dielectric and Construction Conductive‑polymer aluminum solid electrolyte in a chip‑type SMD (radial can) package for stable electrical performance.
• Electrical Performance 15 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance and an 80 V rated voltage.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Capacity ESR of 39 mΩ measured at 100 kHz; ripple current ratings of 950 mA at 120 Hz and 1.9 A at 100 kHz for effective AC performance.
• Reliability & Lifetime Load life of 3000 hours at 105°C; endurance and damp‑heat characteristics specified in the PCV series specifications.
• Temperature Range Operational from −55°C to +105°C to support a broad range of environments.
• Assembly & Package Surface‑mount, radial can SMD package with recommended land size 1.03 × 1.03 cm and designed for lead‑free reflow soldering (260°C peak correspondence).
• Industry Qualification & Compliance AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Power Electronics — Decoupling and smoothing on high‑voltage rails where 80 V rating, low ESR and high ripple handling are required.
• Automotive Control Modules — Energy storage and noise suppression in ECUs and power modules operating across −55°C to +105°C.
• Infotainment and Body Electronics — Voltage stabilization and ripple reduction in vehicle electronics that benefit from long life and AEC‑Q200 qualification.

Unique Advantages

• High‑voltage capability: 80 V rated device supports higher rail voltages without increasing part count.
• Low ESR for improved efficiency: 39 mΩ at 100 kHz reduces I²R losses and heat generation in high‑frequency applications.
• High ripple current handling: Rated ripple currents (950 mA @120 Hz, 1.9 A @100 kHz) enable robust AC performance in power circuits.
• Long operational life: 3000 hours at 105°C provides endurance for extended use in harsh thermal environments.
• Automotive grade & compliance: AEC‑Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance support regulated industry usage and environmental requirements.
• SMD and reflow ready: Surface‑mount radial can package and lead‑free reflow compatibility up to 260°C peak simplify automated assembly.
