PCZ1V181MCL1GS

The PCZ1V181MCL1GS is a chip-type conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's PCZ series, engineered for demanding environments. It combines low ESR and high ripple-current capability with long-term high-temperature endurance, making it suitable for applications that require reliable bulk and decoupling capacitance at elevated temperatures.

Designed as an SMD radial can with lead‑free reflow compatibility, this part targets automotive and other high-reliability markets where AEC‑Q200 qualification, RoHS compliance, and operation across a wide temperature range are required.

Key Features

• Core Technology Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolyte construction for stable electrical performance and reduced equivalent series resistance (ESR).
• Electrical Performance 180 µF nominal capacitance at 35 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance; ESR specified at 20 mΩ (100 kHz) for low-loss performance.
• High Ripple Capability Rated ripple current of 900 mA at 120 Hz and 1.8 A at 100 kHz to support high-frequency and low-frequency ripple handling.
• High-Temperature Endurance Long life specification of 2000 hours at 150°C to maintain capacitance and ESR stability in elevated-temperature applications.
• Wide Operating Range Specified for operation from −55°C to +150°C, enabling use across broad thermal environments.
• Package & Assembly Surface-mount radial can (chip type) with physical dimensions approximately 1.0 cm × 1.0 cm and surface mount land size 1.03 × 1.03 cm; compatible with lead‑free reflow soldering (260°C peak).
• Quality & Compliance AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for regulated markets.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics Suited for automotive modules that require AEC‑Q200 qualification and operation at elevated temperatures up to 150°C.
• Power Subsystems Provides low-ESR bulk capacitance and high ripple handling for DC–DC converters and power conditioning circuits.
• High-Temperature Electronics Designed for assemblies and systems where extended high-temperature endurance (2000 hours at 150°C) is required.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR for improved efficiency: The 20 mΩ ESR (100 kHz) specification reduces losses in high-frequency circuits and supports tighter voltage regulation.
• High ripple-current capability: Rated at 900 mA (120 Hz) and 1.8 A (100 kHz), enabling reliable performance under both low- and high-frequency ripple conditions.
• Proven high-temperature life: 2000 hours at 150°C endurance rating helps ensure long-term stability in thermally stressed designs.
• AEC‑Q200 qualification: Qualification for automotive-grade reliability simplifies selection for regulated and safety‑critical applications.
• Reflow-ready SMD form factor: Chip-type radial can designed for surface mounting with lead‑free reflow (260°C peak) to support modern assembly processes.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity ensures compatibility with environmental regulatory requirements.
