PCX1E220MCL1GS

The PCX1E220MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor designed for high-reliability, high-temperature applications. As an SMD radial-can package, it delivers low ESR and high ripple-current capability in a compact footprint for demanding electronic assemblies.

Targeted at automotive and other high-reliability markets, this AEC-Q200 qualified capacitor combines a wide operating temperature range (−55 °C to +125 °C), lead‑free reflow compatibility up to 260 °C peak, and a long rated life of 1500 hours at 125 °C.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 22 µF capacitance at 25 V with ±20% tolerance; low ESR of 65 mΩ measured at 100 kHz for improved filtering and transient performance.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple current 180 mA at 120 Hz and 360 mA at 100 kHz, supporting power-smoothing and decoupling in high-frequency environments.
• Thermal and Endurance — Operating temperature range from −55 °C to +125 °C and endurance specified at 1500 hours at 125 °C, supporting long-term operation in elevated-temperature systems.
• Reliability and Qualification — AEC-Q200 qualified and compliant with RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), suitable for regulated and reliability-focused designs.
• Soldering and Assembly — SMD type designed for lead‑free reflow soldering with a 260 °C peak reflow condition compliance for modern Pb‑free assembly processes.
• Compact SMD Package — Radial can SMD package with body dimensions L: 6 × D: 6.3 mm and recommended land size L: 6.6 × W: 6.6 mm for space-constrained board layouts.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — AEC‑Q200 qualification and extended temperature range make it suitable for automotive control modules and electronics that require sustained performance at elevated temperatures.
• Power Supply Decoupling — Low ESR and high ripple-current capability support bulk filtering and decoupling in power conversion and regulation circuits.
• High‑Reliability Industrial Systems — Long life at 125 °C and RoHS compliance make the capacitor appropriate for industrial electronics operating in harsh thermal environments.
• Compact SMD Assemblies — Small radial-can SMD footprint fits compact, densely populated PCBs where space and thermal robustness are required.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR for improved transient response: 65 mΩ at 100 kHz reduces voltage ripple and heat generation in high-frequency circuits.
• High ripple‑handling capability: Rated ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz cover a broad range of power and switching applications.
• High‑temperature endurance: Rated for 1500 hours at 125 °C, delivering predictable performance in elevated-temperature deployments.
• AEC‑Q200 qualified: Provides the documented reliability expected for automotive and other regulated high-reliability designs.
• Lead‑free reflow compatible: Designed for 260 °C peak lead‑free reflow processes to integrate with modern assembly lines.
• Compact SMD form factor: Small L × D footprint with defined land pattern supports board-level miniaturization without sacrificing performance.
