PCJ0G561MCL9GS

The PCJ0G561MCL9GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a chip/radial can SMD package. It delivers low ESR and high capacitance in a compact footprint, with a rated capacitance of 560 µF at 4 V and an operating temperature range of -55 °C to +105 °C.

Designed for demanding environments, the part offers high ripple-current handling (5.2 A at 100 kHz / 2.6 A at 120 Hz), a 2000‑hour load life at 105 °C, AEC‑Q200 qualification, and lead‑free reflow compatibility at a 260 °C peak. It is RoHS compliant for modern manufacturing requirements.

Key Features

• Core Technology — Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolyte provides low equivalent series resistance (ESR) for improved dynamic performance.
• Capacitance & Voltage — 560 µF rated capacitance at 4 V with ±20% tolerance, suitable for bulk capacitance in compact circuits.
• Power & Ripple Handling — High ripple current capability: 5.2 A at 100 kHz and 2.6 A at 120 Hz, enabling robust performance in high-frequency switching environments.
• Thermal Performance & Lifetime — Rated for -55 °C to +105 °C with a specified endurance of 2000 hours at 105 °C under rated voltage.
• Packaging & Mounting — Surface-mount radial can (chip) package with compact dimensions (L: 1.2 × D: 0.8 cm) and a recommended land pattern of 8.3 × 8.3 mm for PCB assembly.
• Soldering & Assembly — Lead‑free reflow compatible; designed for peak reflow up to 260 °C (single reflow at ≤260 °C), with prescribed preheat and peak-time limits per series specifications.
• Reliability & Compliance — AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), supporting automotive-grade design requirements.
• Low ESR Value — ESR of 9 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, supporting low-loss operation and stable impedance across temperature.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Power Modules — Bulk filtering and energy storage in automotive power rails where low ESR and high ripple current reduce heat and improve regulator performance.
• Electronic Control Units (ECUs) — Local decoupling and smoothing in compact ECU boards that require AEC‑Q200 qualified components and reliable operation up to 105 °C.
• High-Frequency Power Supplies — Support for switching regulators and DC–DC converters that benefit from the capacitor’s low ESR and high ripple-current capability at 100 kHz.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR (9 mΩ at 100 kHz): Reduces conduction losses and voltage ripple, improving efficiency in high-frequency circuits.
• High Capacitance in a Compact SMD Can: 560 µF in a 12 × 8 mm footprint delivers bulk energy storage with minimal board area.
• High Ripple-Current Capability: Rated for 5.2 A at 100 kHz and 2.6 A at 120 Hz, enabling stable operation in switching environments.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification: AEC‑Q200 qualification and a 2000‑hour load life at 105 °C support deployment in automotive electronic systems.
• Assembly-Ready Solder Profile: Lead‑free reflow compatibility (260 °C peak per series guidance) eases integration into contemporary SMT manufacturing flows.
• RoHS Compliance: Conforms to RoHS directives for environmentally regulated production requirements.
