PCX1V390MCL1GS

The PCX1V390MCL1GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s PCX series. It provides 39 µF capacitance at a 35 V rating in a compact φ10 × 8 mm SMD can package and is qualified for AEC-Q200.

Designed for applications that require low ESR and high ripple capability in high-temperature environments, this part delivers long life (3000 hours at 125°C) and is supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for reliable production use.

Key Features

• Conductive polymer aluminum construction — Solid electrolyte design for stable electrical performance and reduced impedance compared with traditional wet electrolytics.
• Electrical ratings — 39 µF nominal capacitance with tolerance ±20% and rated voltage of 35 V.
• Low loss / low ESR — tanδ = 0.12 (20°C, 120 Hz) and ESR = 41 mΩ measured at 20°C / 100 kHz, supporting reduced ripple and heat generation.
• High ripple current handling — 375 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 750 mA at 100 kHz (high frequency), suitable for filtering and decoupling under dynamic loads.
• Wide temperature and long-life rating — Operating range −55°C to +125°C with endurance specified as 3000 hours at 125°C.
• Surface-mount package — φ10 × 8 mm can-style SMD (radial can) optimized for PCB mounting; packaged in embossed carrier tape with moisture-proof packing for automated assembly.
• Automotive-capable qualification — AEC-Q200 rated for use in designs requiring that qualification.
• RoHS compliant and reflow compatible — Lead-free reflow soldering compatibility to a 260°C peak per series datasheet; conforms to RoHS requirements.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Suited for vehicle electronics that require AEC-Q200 qualification and operation across −55°C to +125°C.
• Power supply filtering — Low ESR and high ripple current capability make it effective for bulk decoupling and smoothing on power rails.
• DC–DC converters and power modules — Supports high-frequency ripple demands with specified ESR and ripple current ratings.
• Harsh-environment and industrial systems — Long-life rating at elevated temperature and wide operating range support reliable use in demanding thermal environments.

Unique Advantages

• Reliable high-temperature endurance: 3000 hours at 125°C provides predictable lifetime performance for designs exposed to sustained elevated temperatures.
• Reduced board-level heating: Low ESR (41 mΩ @100 kHz) and low loss angle lower power dissipation in high-frequency applications.
• High ripple tolerance: Specified ripple currents (375 mA @120 Hz, 750 mA @100 kHz) enable effective filtering under dynamic load conditions.
• Automotive-ready qualification: AEC-Q200 rating supports use in vehicle systems that require this level of component qualification.
• Production-ready packaging: Embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing simplifies automated placement and protects parts during storage and assembly.
• Lead-free reflow compatible: Suitable for standard lead-free assembly processes up to a 260°C peak as specified for the series.
