PCX1V270MCL1GS

The PCX1V270MCL1GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s PCX series. It delivers 27 µF at 35 V in a compact φ6.3 × 8 mm SMD can, combining low ESR and high ripple-current capability with long high-temperature endurance.

Designed for demanding electronic power applications, this AEC‑Q200 rated, RoHS-compliant device targets environments requiring high reliability, wide operating temperature range (−55 °C to 125 °C), and lead‑free reflow compatibility.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 27 µF capacitance at 35 V with capacitance tolerance −20% to +20% and tanδ (DF) 0.12 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz.
• Low ESR / High Ripple Handling — ESR of 45 mΩ measured at 20 °C, 100 kHz; low-frequency ripple current 225 mA (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current 450 mA (100 kHz), suitable for power filtering and decoupling.
• High-Temperature Endurance — Rated lifetime of 1500 hours at 125 °C (φ 6.3), meeting endurance criteria for long-term operation in elevated-temperature environments.
• Automotive-Grade Reliability — AEC‑Q200 rating for applications requiring automotive-level qualification and consistency.
• Wide Operating Range — Guaranteed operation from −55 °C to +125 °C for thermal robustness across harsh environments.
• SMD Can Package & Mounting — Compact radial can SMD package (φ6.3 × 8 mm) with recommended surface-mount land size 6.6 × 6.6 mm; supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for automated assembly.
• Lead-Free Reflow Compatible — Compatible with lead-free reflow soldering up to 260 °C peak as specified for the series.
• Leakage & Loss Characteristics — Leakage current specified at 189 µA and designed tanδ and ESR stability under specified conditions as noted in the series datasheet.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Power supply decoupling and smoothing in automotive control modules where AEC‑Q200 qualification and −55 °C to 125 °C operation are required.
• DC–DC Converter Output Filtering — Low ESR (45 mΩ) and 450 mA ripple-current capability at 100 kHz make it suitable for stabilizing converter outputs and reducing voltage ripple.
• Industrial Power Modules — High-temperature endurance (1500 h at 125 °C) and robust leakage characteristics support continuous operation in elevated-temperature industrial environments.
• Embedded Systems — Compact SMD can (φ6.3 × 8 mm) for space-constrained PCBs needing reliable bulk decoupling and long-term stability.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: 450 mA at 100 kHz and 225 mA at 120 Hz reduce thermal stress and improve power-stage stability.
• Low equivalent series resistance: 45 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz lowers losses and supports efficient power delivery in switching circuits.
• Long high-temperature life: 1500 hours endurance at 125 °C for designs that require sustained high-temperature reliability.
• AEC‑Q200 qualified: Meets automotive-grade qualification for demanding system-level reliability requirements.
• Compact SMD form factor: φ6.3 × 8 mm can with embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing for automated assembly and space-efficient layouts.
• Lead-free reflow compatible: Solder profile compatibility up to 260 °C simplifies integration into modern Pb‑free manufacturing flows.
