PCR0J272MCL1GS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PCR0J272MCL1GS is a 2700 µF, 6.3 V aluminum polymer capacitor in surface mount radial can package manufactured by Nichicon. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The part is designed for general purpose applications requiring stable capacitance and low equivalent series resistance in compact form factors.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PCR0J272MCL1GS is determined by strict equivalence in the following parameters:

• Capacitance value: 2700 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 6.3 V (exact match required)
• Dielectric type: Aluminum Polymer (exact match required)
• Package style: Radial, Can - SMD (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.394" Dia (10.00mm) and 0.500" (12.70mm) height (exact match required)
• Surface mount land size: 0.406" L x 0.406" W (10.30mm x 10.30mm) (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)

The PCG0J272MCL1GS from Nichicon meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute. Variations in ESR, ripple current rating, and thermal lifetime do not preclude substitution when the above parameters are identical.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PCG0J272MCL1GS is the qualified substitute for the obsolete PCR0J272MCL1GS. Both parts are manufactured by Nichicon and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for capacitance, voltage rating, package dimensions, and land size. The PCG0J272MCL1GS carries active product status, ensuring availability for current and future procurement.

Both parts are ROHS3 compliant. The PCG0J272MCL1GS is REACH affected, whereas the PCR0J272MCL1GS is REACH unaffected. This distinction should be evaluated against application-specific regulatory requirements.

Selection between these parts should be based on product lifecycle requirements and regulatory compliance obligations specific to the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PCG0J272MCL1GS replace the PCR0J272MCL1GS in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (2700 µF), voltage rating (6.3 V), package style (Radial, Can - SMD), physical dimensions (10.00mm diameter, 12.70mm height), and surface mount land size (10.30mm x 10.30mm). PCB layout and footprint compatibility are maintained.

Q: What are the differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status (PCR0J272MCL1GS is obsolete; PCG0J272MCL1GS is active), ESR (11 mOhm vs. 12 mOhm), ripple current rating (4.7 A vs. 5.1 A @ 100 kHz), thermal lifetime (4000 Hrs @ 125°C vs. 2000 Hrs @ 105°C), maximum operating temperature (125°C vs. 105°C), and REACH status.

Q: Are there any thermal performance considerations?

A: The PCR0J272MCL1GS specifies 4000 hours lifetime at 125°C, while the PCG0J272MCL1GS specifies 2000 hours at 105°C. Applications operating at sustained elevated temperatures should evaluate thermal lifetime requirements against the specified ratings.

Q: What is the significance of the REACH status difference?

A: The PCR0J272MCL1GS is REACH unaffected, while the PCG0J272MCL1GS is REACH affected. Applications subject to REACH compliance obligations should confirm that the substitute part meets applicable regulatory requirements.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the PCR0J272MCL1GS and PCG0J272MCL1GS are ROHS3 compliant.
