The PCZ1D221MCL6GS is a Nichicon PCZ series conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in an SMD chip-style package. It delivers 220 µF at 20 V with low ESR and high ripple-current capability, optimized for demanding thermal and power environments.

Designed for long-term reliability, this part is AEC‑Q200 qualified, RoHS compliant, and rated for operation from -55 °C to +150 °C with a guaranteed lifetime of 2000 hours at 150 °C. It supports lead-free reflow assembly with a 260 °C peak solder condition.

Key Features

• Core Technology Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic design providing stable capacitance and lower ESR compared to traditional electrolytic types.
• Electrical Performance 220 µF capacitance at 20 V with an ESR of 20 mΩ (measured at 100 kHz, 20 °C) and high ripple current capability (1.8 A at 100 kHz, 900 mA at 120 Hz).
• Reliability & Lifetime Long-life specification of 2000 hours at 150 °C; endurance and damp-heat characteristics meet the PCZ series requirements after stress testing.
• Temperature Range Wide operating range from -55 °C to +150 °C, suitable for elevated-temperature environments.
• Package & Assembly Chip-type SMD can-style package suitable for surface-mount PCB assembly; compatible with lead-free reflow up to 260 °C (peak) under recommended profiles.
• Automotive Qualification & Compliance AEC‑Q200 qualified and compliant with RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), supporting regulated and automotive applications.
• Mechanical Footprint Compact dimensions: approximately 10 mm × 8 mm (L × D) with recommended land size of 8.3 mm × 8.3 mm for surface mounting.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics AEC‑Q200 qualification and broad temperature rating make this capacitor suitable for electronic control modules and other vehicle electronics that require reliable operation at elevated temperatures.
• High‑Temperature Systems Designed for use in systems operating at elevated ambient temperatures; the 2000-hour rating at 150 °C supports extended life in hot environments.
• Surface‑Mount Power Modules Low ESR and high ripple-current capability address power-conditioning and smoothing needs within compact SMD power assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR for improved power performance: 20 mΩ at 100 kHz reduces voltage drop and heat generation under high-frequency load conditions.
• High ripple-current capability: 1.8 A at 100 kHz (and 900 mA at 120 Hz) supports demanding switching power supplies and converters.
• Extended high‑temperature life: 2000 hours at 150 °C provides predictable longevity in thermally stressed designs.
• SMD compatibility with lead‑free reflow: Approved for peak reflow up to 260 °C, enabling modern assembly processes.
• Automotive‑grade qualification: AEC‑Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance streamline use in regulated automotive and industrial programs.
