The PCV2A100MCL1GS is a chip-type conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s PCV series. It delivers a 10 µF capacitance at a 100 V rating with low equivalent series resistance and high ripple-current capability, designed for demanding environments including automotive electronics.

Built for long life and high-temperature operation, this SMD capacitor offers 3000 hours of load life at 105°C, lead-free reflow compatibility to a 260°C peak, RoHS compliance, and AEC-Q200 qualification for automotive applications.

Key Features

• Core Technology  Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolyte construction provides inherent low ESR and stable performance over temperature.
• Electrical Ratings  10 µF nominal capacitance with a 100 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable for higher-voltage circuits within its rating.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Handling  ESR specified at 45 mΩ (100 kHz) with ripple-current ratings of 1.7 A at 100 kHz and 850 mA at 120 Hz, supporting high-frequency and power applications.
• Long Life & Temperature Range  Endurance rated for 3000 hours at 105°C and operates across −55°C to +105°C, with defined impedance stability across temperature extremes.
• Surface-Mount Package  Chip-type SMD package with physical dimensions L: 1.2 × D: 0.8 cm and recommended land size L: 8.3 × W: 8.3 mm for PCB integration.
• Manufacturing & Reliability  Designed for lead-free reflow soldering (peak correspondence to 260°C), compliant with RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), and AEC-Q200 qualified for automotive-grade reliability.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronic systems  Suited for high-voltage SMD capacitor needs in automotive modules where AEC-Q200 qualification and a 100 V rating are required.
• Power management modules  Applicable where low ESR (45 mΩ at 100 kHz) and high ripple-current capability (1.7 A at 100 kHz) help stabilize high-voltage rails.
• High-temperature environments  Suitable for assemblies requiring long-term operation at elevated temperatures, backed by a 3000-hour load life at 105°C.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability: The 100 V rating supports higher-voltage circuit designs within the PCV series range.
• Low ESR performance: 45 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces losses and improves efficiency in high-frequency power applications.
