Overview of PCF1C560MCL1GS – 56 µF Surface‑Mount Conductive Polymer Aluminum Capacitor
The PCF1C560MCL1GS is a surface‑mount conductive polymer aluminum electrolytic capacitor offering 56 µF capacitance at 16 V rated voltage. Designed for demanding environments, it combines low ESR and high ripple current capability in a compact φ8 × 7 mm SMD can package.
Targeted at automotive and industrial power applications, the device delivers stable performance across a −55°C to +105°C operating range and a rated load life of 2000 hours at 105°C, making it suitable where reliability and ripple handling are required.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 56 µF nominal capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 20°C, 120 Hz.
- Low ESR — ESR of 30 mΩ measured at 20°C / 100 kHz, enabling low-loss filtering and improved transient response.
- High Ripple Current — Handles 1.45 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.9 A at 100 kHz (high frequency), supporting power conversion and decoupling duties.
- Wide Temperature Range & Endurance — Operates from −55°C to +105°C with a load life of 2000 hours at 105°C per the datasheet endurance specification.
- Automotive Qualification — AEC‑Q200 qualified and listed for automotive applications.
- SMD Can Package — Compact φ8 × 7 mm radial can SMD package for space‑efficient board layouts; supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture‑proof packing.
- Manufacturing Robustness — Lead‑free reflow compatible (peak correspondence up to 260°C as specified), meeting the manufacturer’s soldering heat resistance requirements.
- RoHS Compliant — Built to meet RoHS requirements for restricted substances.
Typical Applications
- Automotive power electronics — Bulk decoupling and smoothing in onboard power supplies where low ESR and high ripple current improve regulator stability.
- DC‑DC converters — Output filtering and transient support for converters requiring compact, high‑ripple capacitors.
- Infotainment and control modules — Local energy storage and noise suppression in compact module designs operating across automotive temperature ranges.
Unique Advantages
- Low dissipation losses — 30 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces I²R losses and thermal buildup in high‑frequency applications.
- High ripple tolerance — Specified LF and HF ripple currents (1.45 A / 2.9 A) let designers rely on the capacitor for both mains‑frequency smoothing and high‑frequency switching environments.
- Thermal reliability — 2000 h rated life at 105°C provides a predictable endurance metric for thermal budgeting and lifecycle planning.
- Automotive readiness — AEC‑Q200 qualification supports use in automotive systems where supplier qualification is required.
- Compact SMD footprint — φ8 × 7 mm can package and defined land pattern (8.3 × 8.3 mm) enable high‑density PCB layout without sacrificing capacitance.
- Manufacturing compatibility — Embossed carrier taping and moisture‑proof packing streamline pick‑and‑place and reflow assembly processes.
