PCX1H330MCL1GS

The PCX1H330MCL1GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s PCX series. It delivers 33 µF capacitance at a 50 V rating in a compact φ10 × 10 mm SMD can, designed for high-temperature, high-reliability power applications.

Engineered for demanding thermal and ripple environments, this part combines low ESR, high ripple-current capability, long endurance at elevated temperature, and AEC-Q200 qualification, making it suited to systems that require durable, high-voltage SMD energy storage and decoupling.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 33 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance, rated for 50 V operation.
• Conductive Polymer Construction — Solid polymer aluminum electrolytic chemistry for stable performance and low equivalent series resistance.
• Low ESR — ESR = 31 mΩ measured at 20°C / 100 kHz, reducing losses in high-frequency power paths.
• High Ripple Current — 315 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 630 mA at 100 kHz (high frequency) for robust filtering and energy-handling capability.
• Thermal Endurance — Rated operating temperature −55°C to +125°C with a life/endurance specification of 3000 hours at 125°C.
• Dielectric Loss (tan δ) — tan δ = 0.12 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, for predictable dissipation characteristics.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 330 µA.
• Surface-Mount Package — Chip-type SMD can, size φ10 × 10L (1.0 × 1.0 cm) with surface-mount land recommendation L: 1.03 × W: 1.03 cm.
• Assembly & Packaging — Supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for reflow-compatible PCB assembly.
• Compliance & Qualification — RoHS compliant and AEC-Q200 rated; offered in mass production.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Intended for automotive-grade electronics where AEC-Q200 qualification and high-temperature endurance are required for power decoupling and bulk smoothing.
• High-Temperature Power Modules — Suited to power stages and DC–DC converters operating at elevated temperatures thanks to a −55°C to +125°C range and 3000 h endurance at 125°C.
• High-Frequency Power Filtering — Low ESR and high ripple-current ratings support high-frequency filtering and local energy storage in compact SMD layouts.

Unique Advantages

• Low-loss operation: 31 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz minimizes I²R losses in high-frequency circuits, improving overall power efficiency.
• Robust ripple handling: Dual ripple-current specs (315 mA @120 Hz, 630 mA @100 kHz) provide headroom for both low- and high-frequency power disturbances.
• Extended high-temperature life: 3000 hours at 125°C supports long-term reliability in thermally demanding applications.
• Automotive-capable qualification: AEC-Q200 rating aligns the part to automotive and other high-reliability system requirements.
• Compact SMD form factor: φ10 × 10 mm can saves PCB area while enabling surface-mount assembly and automated placement.
• Production-ready packaging: Embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing facilitates reflow assembly and inventory handling.
