PCW0E271MCO1GS

The PCW0E271MCO1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor designed for demanding environments that require high ripple-current capability and elevated temperature reliability. It is an SMD, polarized capacitor specified at 270 µF and 2.5 V, offering low ESR and an extended ripple-load life for compact power and electronic modules.

Targeted use cases include automotive electronics and other applications that require AEC-Q200 qualification, high operating temperatures up to 125 °C, and robust performance under sustained DC bias and ripple conditions.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 270 µF rated capacitance at 2.5 V with a tolerance of ±20%.
• High-temperature operation — Rated for operation from -55 °C to 125 °C and specified for ripple load life of 2000 hours at 125 °C.
• Low ESR — Equivalent series resistance of 16 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, supporting low-loss power delivery and decoupling.
• High ripple-current capability — Specified ripple current of 900 mA at 120 Hz and 1.8 A at 100 kHz to handle dynamic power loads.
• SMD package and compact footprint — Chip-type surface-mount can with dimensions L: 6 mm × D: 5 mm and recommended land size L: 5.3 mm × W: 5.3 mm.
• Manufacturing & reliability — Lead-free reflow soldering compatibility with a 260 °C peak (single reflow at 260 °C), RoHS compliant, and AEC-Q200 qualified for demanding applications.
• Endurance & environmental robustness — After 2000 hours at 125 °C with DC bias plus rated ripple, capacitance change remains within ±20%, tan δ and ESR remain within 150% of initial specified values, and leakage current remains at or below initial specified value.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — AEC-Q200 qualification and 125 °C reliability make this capacitor suitable for control modules and power subsystems in automotive applications.
• Power supply decoupling — Low ESR and high ripple-current ratings support bulk and local decoupling in compact DC–DC converters and power rails.
• Communication modules — Robust ripple handling and high-temperature endurance suit compact RF and digital communication assemblies where thermal and dynamic load resilience are required.

Unique Advantages

• Proven high-temperature endurance — Rated ripple-load life of 2000 hours at 125 °C provides predictable long-term behavior under elevated temperatures.
• Improved power integrity — 16 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and high ripple-current capability reduce voltage ripple and heat generation in power subsystems.
• Compact SMD form factor — 6 × 5 mm chip package and defined land pattern enable dense PCB layouts and automated assembly.
• Automotive-grade reliability — AEC-Q200 qualification supports designs requiring industry-recognized component-level stress screening.
• Assembly-ready — Compatible with lead-free reflow up to a 260 °C peak (single pass), simplifying surface-mount manufacturing flows.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS compliance for restricted substances in electronic assemblies.
