PCV1V820MCL7GS

The PCV1V820MCL7GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s PCV series. It delivers 82 µF capacitance at a 35 V rating in a compact chip-style SMD can (φ8 × 10 mm), designed for applications that require low ESR, high ripple handling and long operational life.

Targeted for demanding electronic power-management systems—including automotive electronics—the part combines low loss (tan δ), high ripple-current capability and AEC‑Q200 qualification to support robust designs across a wide temperature range.

Key Features

• Capacitance & tolerance — 82 µF nominal capacitance with tolerance ±20% (−20% to +20%) at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Rated voltage — 35 V DC rating for mid-voltage power applications.
• Low dissipation factor (tan δ) — tan δ = 0.12 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, enabling lower losses in AC/ ripple environments.
• Very low ESR — 24 mΩ specified at 20°C/100 kHz, supporting efficient decoupling and fast transient response.
• High ripple-current capability — 1.8 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 3.6 A at 100 kHz (high frequency) for demanding power-supply ripple and switching applications.
• Leakage current — 574 µA specified leakage current.
• Long life endurance — Rated life of 3000 hours at 105°C with defined limits on capacitance shift, tan δ and ESR after test.
• Wide operating temperature — −55°C to +105°C for broad environmental tolerance.
• Automotive-grade qualification — AEC‑Q200 rated; suitable for designs requiring that qualification.
• Surface-mount package — Chip-type SMD can, package dimensions φ8 × 10 mm (L: 1.0 cm × D: 0.8 cm) with recommended land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm.
• Assembly readiness — SMD lead-free reflow soldering condition compatible with 260°C peak per series specification; packaged in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for automated assembly.
• Environmental compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power modules — Bulk decoupling and smoothing in automotive electronic control modules where AEC‑Q200 qualification and elevated temperature endurance are required.
• DC‑DC converters — Input/output filtering and ripple suppression in switching regulators leveraging the part’s low ESR and high ripple‑current rating.
• Power-management circuits — Energy storage and transient suppression in power rails for infotainment, body electronics and other vehicle subsystems.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR for efficient power delivery: 24 mΩ at 100 kHz reduces power loss and improves transient response in high-frequency converters.
• High ripple current handling: 1.8 A (120 Hz) and 3.6 A (100 kHz) support rigorous switching environments and extend system reliability.
• Extended high-temperature life: 3000 hours at 105°C provides predictable long-term performance in elevated-temperature applications.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC‑Q200 rating supports use in designs requiring industry-standard reliability qualifications.
• Compact SMD can package: φ8 × 10 mm chip-style can and embossed carrier taping enable automated PCB assembly and high-density layouts.
• Measured electrical stability: Specified tan δ (0.12 at 20°C/120 Hz) and controlled leakage current (574 µA) allow straightforward design margining for power-supply filters.
