PCF0G561MCL4GS

The PCF0G561MCL4GS is a Nichicon PCF series conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a compact surface-mount can package. It delivers 560 µF capacitance at a 4 V rating with low ESR and high ripple-current capability for demanding power applications.

Designed and qualified for automotive use (AEC-Q200) and produced in a mass-production flow, this component targets applications requiring robust thermal performance (–55 °C to 105 °C), long endurance (2000 hours at 105 °C), and reliable assembly compatibility for SMT manufacturing.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 560 µF capacitance with tolerance −20% to +20% and tanδ of 0.12 (measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz), providing predictable bulk capacitance in low-voltage systems.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Handling — ESR of 13 mΩ at 20 °C/100 kHz and high ripple current ratings (2.26 A at 120 Hz; 4.52 A at 100 kHz) for reduced voltage ripple and effective high-frequency decoupling.
• Reliability & Endurance — Rated life of 2000 hours at 105 °C with endurance limits specified for capacitance change, tanδ and ESR; leakage current specified at 448 µA (after test conditions).
• Automotive Qualification — AEC-Q200 listed in the product specifications and intended for automotive applications.
• Thermal Range — Operating temperature from −55 °C to 105 °C to cover a wide range of environmental conditions.
• SMD Package & Assembly — Radial can SMD package (φ8 × 12 L; size L: 1.2 × D: 0.8 cm) with embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing; compatible with lead-free reflow soldering conditions (peak correspondence up to 260 °C as specified in the series documentation).
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant as stated in the product data.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power modules — Suited for in-vehicle power electronics where AEC-Q200 qualification, low ESR (13 mΩ at 100 kHz), and high ripple capability are required.
• ECU and control units — Compact SMD form factor and 560 µF capacitance provide stable bulk energy storage and smoothing in electronic control units operating up to 105 °C.
• DC–DC converters — High-frequency ripple current rating (4.52 A at 100 kHz) and low ESR support converter output filtering and transient performance in automotive designs.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple-current tolerance: Supports 2.26 A (120 Hz) and 4.52 A (100 kHz) ratings to handle both low- and high-frequency ripple loads without excessive heating.
• Very low ESR at high frequency: 13 mΩ at 100 kHz helps minimize voltage drop and power loss in high-speed power circuits.
• Automotive-capable qualification: AEC-Q200 listing aligns the part with automotive reliability expectations for system designers.
• Long endurance at elevated temperature: 2000-hour rated life at 105 °C supports durable operation in thermally challenging environments.
• SMT-ready packaging: Embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing streamline high-volume surface-mount assembly and handling.
• RoHS compliance: Conforms to environmental regulation requirements for lead-free designs.
