PCM1C561MCL1GS

The PCM1C561MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a chip-style SMD can, offering 560 µF at 16 V. It combines low ESR and high ripple-current capability with a wide operating temperature range to address demanding thermal and electrical environments.

Designed for applications that require long-term stability under elevated temperatures, this part delivers an 8000-hour rated life at 125°C, AEC-Q200 qualification, and lead-free reflow compatibility up to a 260°C peak.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 560 µF rated capacitance at 16 V with ±20% tolerance, providing bulk energy storage for DC bias and decoupling.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Current — ESR of 16 mΩ (100 kHz) and ripple current ratings of 1.35 A (120 Hz) and 2.7 A (100 kHz) for efficient power-handling and reduced heating in switching applications.
• High-Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation from −55°C to +125°C with a specified life of 8000 hours at 125°C, supporting long-term stability in hot environments.
• Reliability & Qualification — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, with endurance, damp-heat and shelf-life characteristics defined in the datasheet.
• Assembly & Solderability — Surface-mount radial can construction compatible with lead-free reflow soldering; peak solder temperature up to 260°C (reflow conditions specified).
• Compact Package — Small footprint and low-profile SMD can: footprint land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm and part dimensions L: 1.2 × D: 0.8 cm for space-constrained boards.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — AEC-Q200 qualification and a −55°C to +125°C range make this capacitor suitable for automotive electronic modules where high-temperature endurance is required.
• High-Temperature Power Modules — Low ESR and high ripple-current capability support power-supply filtering and decoupling in assemblies exposed to elevated temperatures.
• SMD Power Subsystems — Chip-type SMD can and lead-free reflow compatibility enable use in compact, surface-mount power subsystem designs that require robust soldering performance.

Unique Advantages

• Long high-temperature life: 8000 hours at 125°C provides predictable endurance for designs exposed to sustained heat.
• High ripple handling: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz reduce thermal stress in switching regulators and converters.
• Low ESR: 16 mΩ at 100 kHz minimizes power loss and voltage drop under high-frequency conditions.
• AEC-Q200 qualified: Qualification supports use in automotive-grade assemblies and other reliability-focused applications.
• Reflow-ready SMD form factor: Surface-mount, lead-free reflow compatibility simplifies automated assembly for modern production flows.
