PCG1C560MCL1GS

The PCG1C560MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor in a compact surface-mount can package. It delivers 56 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating with low ESR and defined ripple current capability for demanding board-level power tasks.

Designed for environments that require AEC-Q200 qualification and wide temperature operation, this part targets automotive and other rugged electronic systems that need stable capacitance, low loss, and long endurance across −55 °C to 105 °C.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage: 56 µF nominal capacitance rated for 16 V operation, with tolerance ±20% (−20% to +20%) measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C.
• Conductive Polymer Construction: Solid conductive polymer aluminum electrolytic design for consistent electrical performance and reduced equivalent series resistance compared to traditional wet electrolytes.
• Low Loss / Dissipation Factor: tan δ = 0.12 (measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz), providing low dielectric loss for stable performance in AC and switching environments.
• Low ESR: ESR of 40 mΩ measured at 20 °C and 100 kHz, supporting high-frequency decoupling and power-conditioning duties.
• Ripple Current Capability: Low-frequency ripple current 800 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 1.6 A (100 kHz) to support pulsed and switching power rails.
• Leakage and Endurance: Leakage current specified at 240 µA; endurance rating of 2000 hours at 105 °C with defined limits for capacitance change, tan δ, ESR and leakage after test.
• Robust Temperature Range: Operating from −55 °C to 105 °C to suit harsh ambient and on-board thermal conditions.
• Chip SMD Package: φ5 × 6L can-style SMD (size D: 5 mm × L: 6 mm) with surface-mount land size 5.3 × 5.3 mm; supplied in embossed carrier tape with moisture-proof packing for automated assembly.
• AEC-Q200 Rated: Specified ratings include AEC-Q200 to address automotive electronics requirements.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics: AEC-Q200 rating and wide temperature range make this capacitor suitable for on-board power filtering and decoupling in vehicle electronic control modules and sub-systems.
• Switching power supplies: Low ESR and high-frequency ripple current capability support stabilization of DC rails and bulk decoupling on 16 V systems.
• Power-conditioning in compact SMD designs: Chip can package (φ5 × 6L) delivers higher capacitance in a small footprint for space-constrained assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• High capacitance in a compact SMD can: 56 µF in a φ5 × 6L package enables greater energy storage without large board area.
• Low ESR for improved transient response: 40 mΩ at 100 kHz reduces voltage drop under high-frequency currents and improves regulator stability.
• Robust ripple handling: Rated ripple currents of 800 mA (120 Hz) and 1.6 A (100 kHz) accommodate both low- and high-frequency power disturbances.
• Automotive-capable qualification: AEC-Q200 rating supports use in vehicle electronics and other applications that require component-level automotive standards.
• Wide operating temperature and defined endurance: −55 °C to 105 °C range and 2000-hour endurance at 105 °C provide predictable long-term behavior in elevated-temperature environments.
• Assembly-ready packaging: Embossed carrier tape with moisture-proof packing simplifies pick-and-place and storage for volume production.
