PCZ1E151MCL1GS

The PCZ1E151MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor from Nichicon's PCZ series. It is a surface-mount, polarized capacitor offering 150 µF capacitance at a 25 V rating, optimized for high-temperature operation and long-term reliability.

Designed for demanding environments, this SMD capacitor delivers low ESR and high ripple-current capability, with a rated operating range from -55 °C to 150 °C and a guaranteed lifetime of 2000 hours at 150 °C. It is AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 150 µF nominal capacitance with a 25 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20 °C.
• Low ESR & Ripple Performance: ESR of 33 mΩ measured at 100 kHz; ripple current capability of 700 mA at 120 Hz and 1.4 A at 100 kHz for robust power-handling in switching environments.
• High-Temperature Endurance: Rated for continuous operation from -55 °C to 150 °C and specified for 2000 hours at 150 °C endurance.
• Reliability & Qualification: AEC-Q200 qualified for demanding applications and engineered for low ESR after endurance and cold-temperature testing.
• SMD, Lead-Free Reflow Ready: Chip-type, surface-mount package compatible with lead-free reflow soldering profiles up to a 260 °C peak (per specified soldering conditions).
• Compliance: RoHS directive compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics: Suitable for automotive systems that require AEC-Q200-qualified capacitors and wide temperature operation.
• High-temperature electronics: Suited to designs exposed to elevated ambient temperatures where 150 °C endurance and a 2000-hour lifetime are required.
• Surface-mount power modules: Designed for SMD assemblies that require lead‑free reflow compatibility and compact capacitive decoupling in power rails.

Unique Advantages

• Long high-temperature life: 2000 hours at 150 °C provides predictable aging and lifecycle planning for elevated-temperature designs.
• Low ESR for improved efficiency: 33 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces losses and improves ripple handling in switching power applications.
• High ripple-current capability: Rated ripple currents of 700 mA (120 Hz) and 1.4 A (100 kHz) support demanding transient and switching loads.
• AEC-Q200 qualified: Qualification supports use in regulated or qualification-driven projects—especially where industry qualification is required.
• Surface-mount and reflow compatible: Chip SMD construction and lead‑free reflow compatibility (260 °C peak) simplify assembly with modern SMT processes.
• RoHS compliant: Meets current environmental directives for restricted substances.
