PCH1J560MCL1GS

The PCH1J560MCL1GS from Nichicon is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor designed for high-reliability power applications. As an SMD chip-type capacitor it combines low ESR and high ripple-handling with a polarized aluminum polymer construction suited to elevated operating temperatures.

Targeted at demanding electronics such as automotive and industrial power systems, this part delivers stable capacitance and long-term endurance for designs that require sustained performance at high temperatures and frequencies.

Key Features

• Dielectric / Construction – Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic, chip type for surface-mount assembly.
• Rated Value – 56 µF capacitance at a rated voltage of 63 V with ±20% tolerance for standard power-decoupling and bulk-capacitance roles.
• Low ESR and Frequency Performance – ESR of 27 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, supporting lower losses and better high-frequency behavior.
• High Ripple Current Capacity – Rated ripple currents of 1.05 A at 120 Hz and 2.1 A at 100 kHz to support switching and power-conversion environments.
• Extended Temperature and Endurance – Operating range from −55 °C to +135 °C and long life specified as 4000 hours at 135 °C to support prolonged high-temperature use.
• Assembly and Compliance – Surface-mount radial/can SMD package compatible with lead-free reflow (260 °C peak) and RoHS compliant; AEC-Q200 qualified for automotive-grade reliability.
• Package and Mounting – Chip SMD form factor with package case listed as radial, can - SMD and recommended PCB land 8.3 × 8.3 mm for reliable solder connections.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics – Power-supply decoupling and bulk energy storage in automotive control modules where AEC-Q200 qualification and high-temperature endurance are required.
• Power Conversion – Output filtering and smoothing for DC–DC converters and power-supply modules that demand low ESR and high ripple capability at high switching frequencies.
• Industrial Power Systems – Energy buffering and filtering in industrial control and power distribution equipment operating across wide temperature ranges.

Unique Advantages

• High-temperature endurance: Specified 4000 hours at 135 °C, providing predictable lifetime behavior for thermally stressed designs.
• Low-loss performance: 27 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces I2R losses and improves efficiency in high-frequency power circuits.
• Strong ripple handling: Rated ripple currents (1.05 A at 120 Hz; 2.1 A at 100 kHz) help maintain stability in switching regulator outputs and pulsed loads.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 rating supports selection for automotive applications requiring standardized reliability testing.
• Surface-mount, reflow-capable: SMD can package and lead-free reflow compatibility (260 °C peak) simplify automated assembly and process integration.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant to current EU directives for environmentally conscious designs.
