PCJ0G561MCL1GS

The PCJ0G561MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic surface-mount capacitor in Nichicon’s PCJ series, providing 560 µF capacitance at a 4 V rated voltage. It delivers low ESR and high ripple-current capability in a compact radial can SMD package designed for demanding temperature and endurance requirements.

Targeted for automotive use, this part combines low impedance (14 mΩ at 100 kHz), high ripple handling (2 A at 120 Hz / 4 A at 100 kHz), and a wide operating range (−55 °C to +105 °C) to support power-dense electronic modules where reliability and thermal endurance matter.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance – 560 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a rated voltage of 4 V, providing bulk capacitance in a small SMD form.
• Low ESR and High Ripple Current – ESR of 14 mΩ measured at 100 kHz (20 °C), with ripple current ratings of 2.0 A at 120 Hz and 4.0 A at 100 kHz, enabling effective smoothing and high-frequency decoupling in power circuits.
• Thermal and Endurance – Rated for operation from −55 °C to +105 °C with a load life of 2000 hours at 105 °C, supporting long-term stability under elevated temperature stress.
• Reliability & Qualification – AEC-Q200 qualified and manufactured to the PCJ series endurance and damp-heat criteria described in the datasheet.
• Leakage Current – Specified leakage current of 448 µA (measured after conditioning as defined by the datasheet), supporting predictable bias-current performance.
• Package & Mounting – Compact radial can SMD package, size φ8 × 7 mm (D: 8 mm × L: 7 mm) with recommended land pattern 8.3 × 8.3 mm; supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for automated assembly.
• Manufacturing Compatibility – SMD type compatible with lead-free reflow soldering profiles up to a 260 °C peak per the PCJ series soldering guidance.
• RoHS Compliant – Conforms to RoHS requirements as specified in the product data.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronic modules – Suited for power subsystems in automotive ECUs where AEC-Q200 qualification and wide temperature operation are required.
• Automotive power management – Provides bulk capacitance and high ripple-current handling for DC–DC converters and power rails in vehicles.
• Automotive infotainment and control units – Supports low-impedance decoupling and stable performance across −55 °C to +105 °C operating ranges.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple handling for compact designs: 2 A at 120 Hz and 4 A at 100 kHz ratings combined with 14 mΩ ESR enable robust ripple performance in tight form-factor power designs.
• Designed for elevated-temperature endurance: 2000-hour load life at 105 °C provides a measurable endurance baseline for thermal stress applications.
• AEC-Q200 qualification: Explicit qualification supports use in automotive systems that require component-level reliability verification.
• Compact SMD radial-can package: φ8 × 7 mm footprint delivers high capacitance density while remaining compatible with automated placement and embossed carrier taping.
• Predictable leakage behavior: Specified leakage current (448 µA) and datasheet conditioning methods enable repeatable bias-current expectations for design validation.
• Assembly-friendly packaging: Moisture-proof embossed carrier taping simplifies handling for high-volume surface-mount production.
