PCZ1V221MCL1GS

The PCZ1V221MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor in a compact surface-mount can. It delivers 220 µF capacitance at a 35 V rating with low ESR and high ripple-current capability, designed for demanding thermal and electrical environments.

Engineered for applications requiring high temperature tolerance and long endurance, this AEC-Q200 qualified part targets automotive and other high-reliability systems where sustained performance at up to 150°C and robust ripple handling are essential.

Key Features

• Conductive polymer construction — Solid electrolyte provides stable capacitance and low ESR for improved high-frequency performance.
• Capacitance & tolerance — 220 µF with ±20% tolerance, suitable for bulk decoupling and energy storage in compact layouts.
• Voltage rating — 35 V rated voltage for medium-voltage power rails and converters.
• Low ESR — 16 mΩ measured at 20°C / 100 kHz, supporting efficient high-frequency decoupling and reduced power loss.
• High ripple current — 1 A at 120 Hz and 2 A at 100 kHz, enabling better thermal performance under AC stress.
• Wide temperature range — Operates from −55°C to +150°C to match high-temperature system requirements.
• Long endurance — Rated life of 2000 hours at 150°C, providing extended reliability in elevated-temperature applications.
• Surface-mount can package — φ10 × 12.7 mm size (φ10×12.7L) in a radial can SMD format for PCB assembly.
• Pb-free reflow compatible — SMD type supports lead-free reflow soldering up to a 260°C peak per manufacturer profile.
• Compliance and qualification — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant for regulated environments and automotive usage.
• Packaging — Supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for automated assembly.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Use for bulk decoupling and energy buffering in vehicle systems where AEC-Q200 qualification and operation to 150°C are required.
• Power supply filtering — Low ESR and high ripple-current ratings suit DC–DC converters and regulator output smoothing under sustained load.
• High-temperature embedded systems — Reliable capacitance and endurance at elevated temperatures make it appropriate for electronics that operate in hot environments.
• High-frequency decoupling — 16 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and a 2 A ripple-current rating support stable performance in high-frequency switching applications.

Unique Advantages

• Improved thermal endurance: 2000 hours at 150°C specification reduces replacement frequency and supports designs exposed to sustained high temperatures.
• High ripple tolerance: 1 A (120 Hz) and 2 A (100 kHz) ripple handling keeps operating temperatures lower under AC stress and improves system reliability.
• Low-loss operation: 16 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz minimizes I²R losses and improves efficiency in switching power stages.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 rating provides documented suitability for automotive applications requiring component-level qualification.
• Surface-mount convenience: Compact φ10 × 12.7 mm can in embossed carrier tape enables automated placement and consistent assembly throughput.
• Lead-free reflow compatibility: Conforms to lead-free reflow profiles up to a 260°C peak for modern assembly processes.
