Overview of PCX1H100MCL1GS – High-voltage, Low-ESR Conductive Polymer SMD Capacitor
The PCX1H100MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in an SMD can package, designed for high-voltage, high-reliability applications. It delivers a 10 µF capacitance at a 50 V rating with low equivalent series resistance and elevated ripple current capability, targeting demanding power designs.
Engineered for long-term performance, this part offers a 3000-hour endurance at 125°C, AEC-Q200 qualification, and lead-free reflow compatibility up to a 260°C peak, making it suitable for robust electronic modules where sustained high-temperature operation and reliable power decoupling are required.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage: 10 µF rated at 50 V for high-voltage decoupling and energy storage in compact SMD form.
- Low ESR & High Ripple Capacity: ESR of 75 mΩ (100 kHz) combined with ripple current ratings of 205 mA (120 Hz) and 410 mA (100 kHz) to support high dynamic loads and reduce power losses.
- Long Life & High Temperature Endurance: Rated for 3000 hours at 125°C with operating temperature range of −55°C to +125°C, supporting prolonged reliability under thermal stress.
- Automotive-Grade Qualification: AEC-Q200 qualified for use in applications requiring automotive-grade component reliability.
- SMD Can Package & Assembly: Surface-mount radial can (L: 7 × D: 8 mm) with recommended land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm; compatible with lead-free reflow soldering up to a 260°C peak.
- Environmental Compliance: RoHS-compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for lead-free manufacturing processes.
Typical Applications
- Automotive Electronics: Suitable for in-vehicle power rails and control modules that require AEC-Q200 qualification and high-temperature endurance.
- Power Conversion / DC–DC Modules: Low ESR and high ripple current capability make this capacitor appropriate for output filtering and decoupling in converters and regulators.
- Industrial Power Modules: Long life at elevated temperatures supports reliability in industrial power supplies and control systems.
Unique Advantages
- High-voltage capability: 50 V rating enables use in higher-voltage rails without upsizing capacitance or board area.
- Efficient power handling: 75 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and high ripple current ratings reduce thermal stress and improve converter stability.
- Extended high-temperature life: 3000 hours at 125°C provides predictable degradation and longer service intervals in hot environments.
- Automotive-grade reliability: AEC-Q200 qualification supports integration into designs requiring industry-recognized component robustness.
- Surface-mount convenience: Compact radial can SMD package simplifies automated assembly while supporting lead-free reflow profiles.
- Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity aligns with modern manufacturing and environmental requirements.
