PCV1K220MCL1GS

The PCV1K220MCL1GS is a 22 µF, 80 V conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a compact surface-mount can package. It combines low ESR and high ripple-current capability with a long load life, making it suitable for demanding power applications.

Designed for automotive applications, the device is AEC-Q200 qualified, RoHS compliant and compatible with lead‑free reflow soldering (260°C peak), offering robust performance across an operating range of −55°C to +105°C.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 22 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance; rated at 80 V DC. ESR is specified at 38 mΩ (measured at 100 kHz), supporting low-loss operation.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple capability of 1.1 A at 120 Hz and 2.2 A at 100 kHz, enabling effective smoothing and decoupling in power circuits.
• Reliability & Lifetime — Load life of 3000 hours at 105°C; endurance and damp-heat performance are specified to maintain capacitance, tan δ and ESR within defined limits after stress.
• Temperature Range — Specified operating range from −55°C to +105°C to cover wide ambient and thermal conditions.
• Package & Assembly — Surface-mount radial can (SMD) package with compact dimensions (L 1.27 × D 1.00 cm) and recommended land size 1.03 × 1.03 cm; compatible with lead-free reflow soldering (260°C peak).
• Automotive Grade & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and compliant with RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), supporting regulated and automotive designs.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power electronics — Bulk and decoupling capacitance on vehicle power rails where high ripple current and low ESR are required.
• ECU power supplies — Smoothing and filtering in electronic control units that require AEC-Q200‑level components and long life at elevated temperatures.
• DC–DC converter input/output filtering — Supports high-frequency switching environments with specified ripple current ratings and low ESR at 100 kHz.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR for improved efficiency: 38 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces power loss and heat generation in high-frequency circuits.
• High ripple capability: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz support a variety of power-conversion topologies.
• Long operational life at elevated temperature: 3000 hours load life at 105°C provides predictable ageing and reliability for harsh environments.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 status enables use in qualified automotive designs requiring component-level qualification.
• SMD can with reflow compatibility: Surface-mount radial can package designed for lead‑free reflow (260°C peak), easing assembly into modern SMT processes.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports designs targeting global environmental regulations.
