PCV2A6R8MCL1GS

The PCV2A6R8MCL1GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s PCV series. It provides a 6.8 µF capacitance at a 100 V rating in a compact φ8 × 10 mm can-style SMD package, designed for high-voltage, high-ripple applications.

With low ESR, elevated ripple-current capability and a 3000-hour rated life at 105°C, this part targets demanding power circuits where long-term stability, temperature tolerance and AEC-Q200 qualification are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage: 6.8 µF capacitance rated at 100 V with tolerance of −20% to +20% for predictable decoupling and energy buffering.
• Low Loss / Low ESR: ESR of 48 mΩ measured at 100 kHz (20°C) and tanδ of 0.12 measured at 120 Hz, 20°C—supporting efficient high-frequency performance.
• High Ripple Current: High-frequency ripple current rated at 1.5 A (100 kHz) and low-frequency ripple current of 750 mA (120 Hz) for power conversion and smoothing duties.
• Leakage and Stability: Leakage current specified at 136 µA with capacitance tolerance and end-of-life limits defined after endurance testing.
• Long Life and Temperature Range: Load life of 3000 hours at 105°C and operating range from −55°C to +105°C for sustained performance in elevated-temperature environments.
• SMD Package and Assembly: φ8 × 10 mm can-style SMD (radial, can − SMD) with embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing. Lead-free reflow soldering condition supported to a 260°C peak per series guidance.
• Qualification & Compliance: AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, supporting use in regulated and automotive-grade designs.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power electronics: Smoothing and decoupling in automotive DC-DC converters and electronic control modules where high voltage and reliability are required.
• DC-DC converters and regulators: Bulk and output filtering for high-voltage power supplies benefiting from low ESR and elevated ripple-current capability.
• Industrial power systems: Energy buffering and noise suppression in industrial converters and control equipment subject to wide temperature ranges.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage SMD solution: 100 V rating in a compact φ8 × 10 mm SMD can provides high-voltage capability without a large PCB footprint.
• Low ESR at high frequency: 48 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces losses and improves efficiency in high-frequency converter topologies.
• Robust thermal endurance: 3000 hours life at 105°C supports long-term stability in elevated-temperature environments common to power electronics.
• AEC-Q200 qualified: Meets automotive-grade qualification requirements to support designs targeting vehicle electronics.
• Assembly-ready packaging: Embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing simplify automated surface-mount assembly and handling.
