PCZ1D101MCL1GS

The PCZ1D101MCL1GS is a Nichicon conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor in an SMD can package. It delivers 100 µF at 20 V with low ESR and high ripple-current capability for demanding thermal and vibration environments.

Engineered for high-temperature operation and reliability, this part targets automotive and other high-temperature electronic systems where long endurance, AEC‑Q200 qualification, and lead‑free reflow compatibility are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 100 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 20 V with ±20% tolerance (120 Hz, 20°C).
• Conductive Polymer Construction — Solid conductive polymer electrolyte for stable electrical performance and reduced leakage compared with traditional wet electrolytes.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Current — ESR specified at 39 mΩ (100 kHz, 20°C) and rated ripple currents of 600 mA at 100 kHz and 300 mA at 120 Hz, supporting efficient power delivery at high frequencies.
• High Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation from −55°C to +150°C with a guaranteed lifespan of 2000 hours at 150°C under rated voltage.
• AEC‑Q200 Qualified — Meets AEC‑Q200 qualification for use in applications that require automotive-grade component-level reliability.
• SMD Can Package & Reflow Ready — Chip-type SMD (radial can) suitable for lead‑free reflow soldering; compatible with peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C under the specified profile.
• Compact Dimension — Small footprint with L: 7 × D: 8 mm and recommended land size of 8.3 × 8.3 mm for space-constrained board designs.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Designed for control modules and electronic systems that require AEC‑Q200 qualification and sustained performance at elevated temperatures.
• Power Conversion — Suitable for DC‑DC converters and voltage regulation stages where low ESR and high ripple current improve efficiency and transient response.
• High-Temperature Systems — For electronics operating in elevated ambient temperatures where 2000 hours at 150°C endurance provides extended service life.

Unique Advantages

• High-Temperature Reliability: Specified endurance of 2000 hours at 150°C ensures predictable capacitance and ESR behavior in hot environments.
• Low Losses at High Frequency: 39 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and a 600 mA ripple current rating at 100 kHz support high-frequency power stages and reduce heat generation.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification: AEC‑Q200 rating provides an added level of component confidence for automotive and similarly demanding applications.
• Lead-Free Reflow Compatibility: SMD can package meets lead‑free reflow profiles up to 260°C peak, enabling modern assembly processes.
• Compact SMD Form Factor: Small footprint and shallow profile allow integration into space-constrained boards without sacrificing performance.
