PCG0E561MCL1GS

The PCG0E561MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor in Nichicon's PCG series, delivering 560 µF at 2.5 V in a compact surface-mount can package. It combines high capacitance and low ESR in a small φ6.3 × 6L footprint to support high-ripple, low-voltage power rails.

Designed for demanding environments, the part is rated for -55°C to 105°C, carries an AEC-Q200 designation, and is offered in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for production-ready assembly.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 560 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 2.5 V and capacitance tolerance of ±20% (120 Hz, 20°C).
• Low ESR & High Ripple Handling — ESR of 20 mΩ measured at 20°C/100 kHz and high-frequency ripple current of 3.0 A (100 kHz), with 1.5 A specified at 120 Hz for low-frequency ripple.
• Conductive Polymer Construction — Solid electrolyte conductive polymer chemistry for stable performance at high ripple and low impedance.
• Thermal & Endurance Specified — Operating temperature range from -55°C to 105°C and specified endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C under rated voltage.
• Package & Mounting — Chip-type surface-mount radial can package, size φ6.3 × 6L (D × L) with recommended land size 6.6 × 6.6 mm; supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing.
• Leakage & Dissipation — Leakage current specified at 280 µA and tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.12 at 20°C/120 Hz for predictable dissipation behavior.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Supports low-voltage power rails and decoupling in automotive control modules where AEC-Q200 qualification and extended temperature range are required.
• DC–DC converters and power modules — Provides bulk capacitance and high ripple-current capability for smoothing and transient support on high-frequency converters.
• Embedded and industrial systems — Compact SMD format and long-term endurance at elevated temperature make it suitable for dense power stages and embedded power supplies.

Unique Advantages

• High capacitance in a compact SMD — 560 µF in a φ6.3 × 6L package minimizes board area while delivering bulk energy storage.
• Low ESR for improved efficiency — 20 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces ripple voltage and heat generation in high-frequency power circuits.
• High ripple current capability — 3.0 A at 100 kHz (3 A) supports demanding switching applications and reduces need for parallel components.
• Automotive-grade endurance — AEC-Q200 rating and 2000-hour life at 105°C under rated voltage provide documented reliability for harsh environments.
• Production-ready packaging — Embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing streamline pick-and-place and reflow assembly processes.
• Wide operating temperature — Specified operation from -55°C to 105°C covers a broad range of environmental conditions.
