PCR0J102MCL1GS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PCR0J102MCL1GS is a 1000 µF, 6.3 V aluminum polymer capacitor in a radial, can-style surface mount package manufactured by Nichicon. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute parts essential for ongoing design support and production continuity. The part delivers 15 mOhm equivalent series resistance with a 4000-hour lifetime rating at 125°C, suitable for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance and low impedance characteristics.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PCR0J102MCL1GS is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

Capacitance value: 1000 µF (exact match required)
Voltage rating: 6.3 V (exact match required)
Package type: Radial, Can - SMD (exact match required)
Physical dimensions: 8.00 mm diameter, surface mount land size 8.30 mm x 8.30 mm (exact match required)
Mounting type: Surface Mount (exact match required)
Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected (required)

The RHS0J102MCN1GS meets all mandatory substitution criteria. While this substitute exhibits lower ESR (10 mOhm vs. 15 mOhm), reduced lifetime rating (2000 Hrs @ 105°C vs. 4000 Hrs @ 125°C), and a slightly increased maximum height (11.70 mm vs. 10.00 mm), these variations remain within acceptable engineering tolerances for general-purpose applications. The substitute maintains identical capacitance, voltage rating, package configuration, and land pattern compatibility.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RHS0J102MCN1GS is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete PCR0J102MCL1GS. Both components are manufactured by Nichicon and maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for current production environments.

The substitute part is currently in active production status, providing supply chain continuity and long-term availability. The increased ripple current capability (5.15 A @ 100 kHz vs. 3.7 A @ 100 kHz) and lower ESR (10 mOhm vs. 15 mOhm) represent performance improvements suitable for general-purpose applications.

Design considerations include the 1.70 mm increase in maximum seated height (11.70 mm vs. 10.00 mm) and the reduced maximum operating temperature (105°C vs. 125°C). These differences require verification against specific board layout constraints and thermal operating conditions. The reduced lifetime rating at elevated temperature (2000 Hrs @ 105°C vs. 4000 Hrs @ 125°C) should be evaluated against application duty cycles and expected service life requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RHS0J102MCN1GS be used as a direct replacement for the PCR0J102MCL1GS?

A: Yes, the RHS0J102MCN1GS meets all mandatory substitution criteria: identical capacitance (1000 µF), voltage rating (6.3 V), package type (Radial, Can - SMD), physical diameter (8.00 mm), and surface mount land pattern (8.30 mm x 8.30 mm). Both components are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The substitute exhibits lower ESR (10 mOhm vs. 15 mOhm), higher ripple current capability (5.15 A @ 100 kHz vs. 3.7 A @ 100 kHz), increased maximum height (11.70 mm vs. 10.00 mm), and reduced maximum operating temperature (105°C vs. 125°C). The lifetime rating differs: 2000 Hrs @ 105°C for the substitute versus 4000 Hrs @ 125°C for the original.

Q: Will the increased height of the substitute part affect PCB layout?

A: The substitute is 1.70 mm taller (11.70 mm vs. 10.00 mm). Verify that board clearance, component stacking, and enclosure constraints accommodate this dimension increase before design implementation.

Q: Is the reduced maximum operating temperature a concern?

A: The substitute operates to 105°C maximum versus 125°C for the original. Evaluate your application's thermal environment and duty cycle. If sustained operation above 105°C is required, the substitute may not be suitable.

Q: Are both parts available for procurement?

A: The PCR0J102MCL1GS is obsolete. The RHS0J102MCN1GS is in active production status with established supply chain availability.
