Overview of PCF1E560MCL1GS – 56 µF, 25 V Conductive Polymer Aluminum SMD Capacitor
The PCF1E560MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a surface-mount radial can package designed for demanding electronic power circuits. It combines low ESR and high ripple-current capability with a compact φ10 × 12.7 mm package and is targeted at automotive and other high-reliability applications.
Key performance highlights include a 56 µF capacitance at 25 V, an operating temperature range of −55°C to +105°C, a 2000-hour rated life at 105°C, AEC-Q200 qualification, and RoHS compliance—making it suitable where stable decoupling, smoothing and high transient handling are required.
Key Features
- Core Electricals — 56 µF capacitance at a rated voltage of 25 V with a tolerance of −20% to +20% (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz).
- Low Loss Characteristics — tanδ of 0.12 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, and ESR of 28 mΩ at 20°C/100 kHz for reduced power dissipation in high-frequency circuits.
- High Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 1.9 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 3.8 A (100 kHz) to support power conversion and decoupling tasks.
- Leakage and Endurance — Leakage current specified at 700 µA and load life/endurance rated to 2000 hours at 105°C with specified limits for capacitance change, tanδ and ESR after test.
- Temperature Range & Stability — Operates from −55°C to +105°C with impedance characteristics controlled across temperature (Z(+105°C)/Z(+20°C) ≤ 1.25 and Z(−55°C)/Z(+20°C) ≤ 1.25 at 100 kHz as specified).
- Package & Mounting — Surface-mount radial can (φ10 × 12.7L) with recommended land size L: 1.03 × W: 1.03 cm and embossed carrier taping / moisture-proof packing for assembly.
- Soldering — SMD construction supports lead-free reflow soldering conditions with peak temperature correspondence up to 260°C as detailed in the product documentation.
- Quality & Compliance — AEC-Q200 rated and RoHS compliant per the product specifications.
Typical Applications
- Automotive Electronics — Bulk decoupling and smoothing in automotive power rails where AEC-Q200 qualification and extended temperature range are required.
- DC–DC Converters — Output filtering and transient handling in converters that demand low ESR and high ripple-current capability.
- Power Management Modules — Local energy storage and stabilization for voltage regulators and power modules operating across wide temperatures.
Unique Advantages
- Low ESR for Reduced Losses: 28 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz lowers dissipation and supports tighter voltage regulation in high-frequency circuits.
- High Ripple Handling: 1.9 A (120 Hz) and 3.8 A (100 kHz) ripple ratings enable reliable operation under continuous and switching stress.
- Long High-Temperature Life: 2000-hour endurance at 105°C provides predictable aging and reliability in elevated-temperature environments.
- AEC-Q200 and RoHS Compliance: Meets industry reliability and environmental directives, simplifying qualification in regulated designs.
- SMD Packaging with Tape-and-Reel: Embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing facilitate automated assembly and inventory handling.
