PCX1H220MCL6GS

The PCX1H220MCL6GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a chip-style, surface-mount package from Nichicon’s PCX series. It combines a 22 µF capacitance with a 50 V rating and is optimized for applications that require low ESR, high ripple-current handling and extended life at elevated temperatures.

Designed for reliability-critical designs, this part is AEC-Q200 qualified and supports lead-free reflow processes up to a 260°C peak. Typical use cases include automotive electronics and other assemblies where high-voltage capability, thermal endurance and compact SMD packaging are required.

Key Features

• Dielectric / Electrolyte  Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolyte for stable electrical performance.
• Capacitance & Voltage  22 µF nominal capacitance with a 50 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Handling  ESR of 37 mOhm (measured at 100 kHz) and ripple-current ratings of 340 mA at 120 Hz and 680 mA at 100 kHz.
• Extended High‑Temperature Life  Endurance up to 3000 hours at 125°C (specified end-of-life criteria provided in datasheet).
• Wide Operating Temperature  Specified for −55°C to +125°C operation.
• Surface-Mount Package  Chip-type SMD (radial, can-style SMD) with recommended land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm and compact dimensions L: 1.0 × D: 0.8 cm.
• Assembly Compatibility  Compatible with lead-free reflow soldering; specified peak reflow condition up to 260°C.
• Quality & Compliance  AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Polarized Component  Designed and specified as a polarized electrolytic capacitor—observe polarity during assembly.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics  Suitable for automotive modules that require AEC-Q200 qualification and high‑voltage, high‑temperature endurance.
• High-voltage power modules  Used where a 50 V rated SMD capacitor with 22 µF capacitance and low ESR is needed for filtering or decoupling.
• Thermally stressed assemblies  Fits designs that demand long life and stable performance at elevated temperatures (endurance specified at 125°C).

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability: 50 V rating provides additional design margin for higher-voltage rails without increasing component footprint.
• Low ESR for improved ripple performance: 37 mOhm (100 kHz) and high ripple-current ratings reduce heating and support stable operation under dynamic loads.
• Long life at high temperature: Specified endurance up to 3000 hours at 125°C supports reliability in elevated-temperature environments.
• AEC-Q200 qualification: Enables use in automotive-grade designs where qualification to AEC-Q200 is required.
• SMD, lead-free reflow compatible: Chip-style SMD with specified 260°C peak reflow compatibility simplifies modern SMT assembly and lead-free manufacturing.
• Compact footprint: Small physical size (L: 1.0 × D: 0.8 cm) and defined land pattern help save PCB area in dense designs.
