GYC1K560MCQ1GS

The GYC1K560MCQ1GS from Nichicon is a surface-mount conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the GYC series. It provides 56 µF capacitance at an 80 V rating in a compact radial can SMD package optimized for high-temperature, high-reliability applications.

Designed for use in demanding power and automotive electronics, this capacitor delivers low ESR and high ripple-current capability together with AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance, supporting extended operation in elevated-temperature environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 56 µF rated capacitance with an 80 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance suitable for higher-voltage rail applications.
• Low ESR & High-Frequency Performance — ESR of 24 mΩ measured at 20°C/100 kHz and tanδ of 0.08 (20°C, 120 Hz), enabling efficient operation at switching frequencies and reduced conduction losses.
• Ripple Current Capacity — High-frequency ripple current of 1.8 A (100 kHz) and low-frequency ripple current of 270 mA (120 Hz) for robust filtering and decoupling under dynamic loads.
• Temperature Range & Endurance — Rated for −55°C to 135°C with a life/endurance specification of 4000 hours at elevated temperature, supporting long-term operation in hot environments.
• Reliability & Qualification — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant; designed for high reliability per Nichicon’s GYC series specifications.
• Form Factor & Packaging — Compact radial can SMD (φ10 × 12.5 mm) supplied in embossed carrier taping for automated surface-mount assembly.
• Leakage & Polarization — Specified leakage current of 224 µA and polarized construction for correct orientation in DC applications.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power rails — Filtering and smoothing for DC-DC converters and power distribution where high temperature endurance and AEC-Q200 qualification are required.
• Power conversion — Bulk and output filtering in DC-DC converters and power modules that demand low ESR and high ripple-current handling at switching frequencies.
• Motor control and drives — Energy buffering and ripple suppression in motor-drive electronics exposed to elevated temperatures and dynamic load currents.
• Industrial electronics — Decoupling and bulk capacitance in harsh-environment control systems that require long-life components rated to 135°C.

Unique Advantages

• High-temperature endurance: 4000 hours rated life at elevated temperature supports sustained operation in hot environments.
• Low ESR at switching frequencies: 24 mΩ at 100 kHz reduces power loss and improves efficiency in high-frequency converters.
• Strong ripple-current capability: 1.8 A (100 kHz) high-frequency ripple rating enables effective filtering in modern switching power supplies.
• AEC-Q200 qualification: Supports use in automotive-grade designs where component-level qualification is required.
• Compact SMD radial can: φ10 × 12.5 mm package in embossed carrier taping simplifies automated PCB assembly while delivering substantial capacitance and voltage.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant construction for regulated markets and product lines.
