PCF1A560MCL4GB

The PCF1A560MCL4GB is a surface‑mount conductive‑polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor offering 56 µF capacitance at a 10 V rating. It combines low ESR and high ripple‑current capability in a compact φ6.3 × 5.5 mm SMD can package designed for robust operation across a wide temperature range.

Designed and qualified for demanding environments, this AEC‑Q200 rated, RoHS‑compliant part provides 2000 hours of load life at 105 °C, making it suitable for automotive and other high‑reliability electronics where stable power filtering and decoupling are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 56 µF nominal with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20 °C.
• Rated Voltage — 10 V DC rated voltage for low‑voltage power rails.
• Low ESR — ESR of 25 mΩ measured at 20 °C and 100 kHz, enabling efficient high‑frequency performance.
• High Ripple Current — 1.25 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.5 A at 100 kHz (high frequency) for demanding ripple and transient conditions.
• Loss Tangent — tanδ = 0.12 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz, 10 V for predictable dissipation characteristics.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 112 µA after standard conditioning.
• Endurance — Rated for 2000 hours at 105 °C with defined limits on capacitance change, tanδ and ESR.
• Temperature Range — Operates from −55 °C to +105 °C for wide environmental coverage.
• Packaging & Assembly — Surface‑mount radial can (SMD) in embossed carrier taping with moisture‑proof packing; compatible with lead‑free reflow up to a 260 °C peak per manufacturer guidance.
• Qualification & Compliance — AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power electronics — Local decoupling and filtering on low‑voltage rails where AEC‑Q200 qualification and 105 °C endurance are required.
• DC‑DC converters — Input or output filtering that benefits from low ESR and high ripple‑current capability.
• Power supply decoupling — Bulk and high‑frequency decoupling in compact surface‑mount designs where space is constrained.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR for efficient filtering: 25 mΩ at 100 kHz reduces voltage ripple and heatsinking needs in high‑frequency circuits.
• High ripple‑current capability: 1.25 A (120 Hz) and 2.5 A (100 kHz) ratings support heavy ripple and transient loads without rapid degradation.
• Automotive‑grade reliability: AEC‑Q200 qualification and 2000 h life at 105 °C provide predictable performance in demanding environments.
• Wide operating temperature: −55 °C to +105 °C range maintains capacitance and impedance characteristics across temperature extremes.
• Compact SMD can package: φ6.3 × 5.5 mm footprint with 6.6 × 6.6 mm recommended land size enables space‑efficient board designs.
• Manufacturing ready: Embossed carrier taping and moisture‑proof packing plus compatibility with lead‑free reflow up to 260 °C simplify automated assembly.
