Overview of PCF1A560MCL1GS – Conductive Polymer Aluminum Solid Electrolytic Capacitor, 56 µF, 10 V
The PCF1A560MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in an SMD can package designed for applications that demand low ESR and high ripple current handling. It delivers 56 µF at 10 V in a compact φ6.3 × 6 mm footprint and is offered in embossed carrier taping for assembly.
Engineered for elevated-temperature endurance, this part is rated for operation from -55°C to +105°C with a load life of 2000 hours at 105°C. It is AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, supporting automotive and other high-reliability markets where thermal stability and ripple performance matter.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 56 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 10 V and capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20%.
- Low ESR — Equivalent series resistance of 25 mΩ measured at 20°C/100 kHz, enabling efficient high-frequency performance.
- High Ripple Current — Low-frequency ripple current of 1.25 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 2.5 A (100 kHz) for demanding power applications.
- Thermal Endurance — Operating temperature range −55°C to +105°C with a rated life of 2000 hours at 105°C.
- AEC‑Q200 Qualification — Suitable for automotive electronics and other applications requiring component qualification to AEC‑Q200 standards.
- SMD Package & Assembly — Radial can SMD (φ6.3 × 6 mm) with surface mount land size 6.6 × 6.6 mm, supplied in embossed carrier taping and moisture proof packing.
- Lead‑Free Reflow Compatibility — Compatible with lead‑free reflow soldering; peak reflow conditions up to 260°C are supported per datasheet guidance.
- Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliant.
Typical Applications
- Automotive Electronic Systems — Designed for automotive electronics that require AEC‑Q200 qualification, thermal endurance, and robust ripple handling.
- Power Management Modules — Suited for power smoothing and decoupling in systems where low ESR and high ripple current capability improve regulation and transient response.
- High-Frequency Switching Converters — Supports converters and DC–DC stages that generate high-frequency ripple, enabled by a 25 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and 2.5 A ripple current rating.
Unique Advantages
- High ripple tolerance: Rated for 1.25 A at 120 Hz and 2.5 A at 100 kHz to handle both low- and high-frequency ripple stresses.
