PCX1E390MCL1GS

The PCX1E390MCL1GS is a Nichicon PCX series conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in an SMD can package. It delivers 39 µF at a 25 V rating with low equivalent series resistance and high ripple-current capability.

Designed for applications that demand long life and high-temperature endurance, this part is AEC-Q200 qualified and compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes up to a 260°C peak.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 39 µF nominal capacitance rated for 25 V operation, with capacitance tolerance ±20% (at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Low ESR & High Ripple Current — ESR of 55 mΩ measured at 100 kHz and ripple current ratings of 240 mA at 120 Hz and 480 mA at 100 kHz for improved power handling.
• Long Life & High Temperature Endurance — Rated lifetime of 3000 hours at 125°C; endurance, damp heat and soldering requirements are defined by the PCX series specifications.
• Package & Mounting — Surface-mount, radial can SMD package; compact chip size L: 7 × D: 8 mm with recommended land size L: 8.3 × W: 8.3 mm.
• Automotive Qualification — AEC-Q200 qualified for designs requiring component-level automotive reliability.
• Lead-free Reflow & RoHS — SMD type compliant with lead-free reflow soldering conditions (260°C peak) and RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Polarized Construction — Polarized electrolytic capacitor for DC applications that require stable capacitance under bias.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Suited for electronic control modules and other automotive circuits that require AEC-Q200 qualified capacitors with high-temperature endurance.
• Power supply filtering — Used where low ESR and high ripple-current capability are needed to stabilize regulated rails in harsh environments.
• High-temperature systems — Appropriate for assemblies exposed to elevated operating temperatures up to 125°C and reflow-processed at lead-free conditions.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple-current capability: Low ESR (55 mΩ at 100 kHz) and specified ripple current values help manage thermal rise in power circuits.
• Extended high-temperature life: 3000 hours at 125°C provides design confidence for demanding thermal environments.
• AEC-Q200 qualified: Component-level qualification for automotive reliability, enabling use in regulated automotive designs.
• Lead-free reflow compatibility: Conforms to 260°C peak reflow conditions for modern surface-mount assembly processes.
• Compact SMD can: Small footprint (7 × 8 mm) with a defined land pattern for efficient board layout.
• RoHS compliant: Meets current RoHS requirements for restricted substances.
