PCH1C561MCL1GS

The Nichicon PCH1C561MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor designed for high-temperature, high-reliability applications. It combines a 560 µF capacitance and 16 V rated voltage in a compact SMD can package suitable for surface-mount assembly.

Engineered for markets requiring long-term stability under thermal stress, this capacitor delivers low ESR and high ripple current capability, making it appropriate for demanding power-management and automotive electronics where sustained performance at elevated temperatures is required.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 560 µF nominal capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Low ESR and High Ripple Handling — ESR of 16 mΩ (measured at 100 kHz, 20°C) with ripple current ratings of 1.35 A at 120 Hz and 2.7 A at 100 kHz for robust power filtering.
• High Temperature Performance — Operates across a −55°C to +135°C temperature range, with a specified long-life endurance of 4000 hours at 135°C.
• Reliability and Qualification — AEC-Q200 qualified and designed to meet endurance and damp-heat requirements: capacitance change within ±20% and ESR/tan δ limits after defined stress tests.
• SMD Package and Reflow Compatibility — Chip-type SMD can (Radial, Can - SMD) compatible with lead-free reflow soldering; compliant with 260°C peak reflow profiles where specified.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Compact Footprint — Size L: 1.2 × D: 0.8 cm with recommended surface-mount land size L: 8.3 × W: 8.3 mm for PCB layout integration.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Designed for automotive systems that require components qualified to AEC-Q200 and long-term operation at elevated temperatures.
• High-Temperature Power Modules — Bulk energy storage and decoupling in power assemblies that operate across −55°C to +135°C.
• Industrial Electronics — Filtering and smoothing in industrial power supplies where long life at high temperature and high ripple tolerance are needed.

Unique Advantages
