PCR1C561MCL1GS

The PCR1C561MCL1GS is a conductive-polymer aluminum solid electrolytic surface-mount capacitor optimized for high-reliability power electronics. As a chip-type polymer capacitor, it delivers low equivalent series resistance (ESR), high ripple-current capability and extended life at elevated temperatures.

Designed for demanding environments, this AEC-Q200 qualified, RoHS-compliant device supports continuous operation from -55 °C to +125 °C and provides 4,000 hours of rated-life endurance at 125 °C, making it suitable for automotive and other high-temperature electronics where long-term stability and robust power filtering are required.

Key Features

• Conductive-Polymer Construction Solid polymer electrolyte for stable performance and improved reliability compared with wet electrolytes.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Capability ESR specified at 16 mΩ (100 kHz) and rated ripple current up to 3.8 A at 100 kHz (1.9 A at 120 Hz) to support fast transient and power-conversion loads.
• High-Temperature Endurance Long life rating of 4,000 hours at 125 °C with defined post-endurance limits for capacitance, tan δ and ESR.
• AEC-Q200 Qualification Qualified to AEC-Q200 for applications that require automotive-grade reliability.
• Reflow-Compatible SMD Package Chip-style, can-shaped SMD for reflow soldering (lead-free reflow peak up to 260 °C) and a defined land pattern (8.3 × 8.3 mm).
• Wide Operating Temperature Range Specified for -55 °C to +125 °C, with impedance stability across temperature extremes (Z ratios ≤ 1.25 relative to 20 °C at 100 kHz).
• Regulatory Compliance RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics Suited for automotive modules where AEC-Q200 qualification and high-temperature endurance (4,000 h at 125 °C) are required.
• Power Supply Filtering & Decoupling Low ESR (16 mΩ at 100 kHz) and high ripple-current ratings support DC–DC converters, voltage regulators and transient suppression.
• High-Temperature Electronic Systems Reliable operation across -55 °C to +125 °C makes it appropriate for electronics exposed to elevated ambient temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• Extended High-Temperature Life: 4,000 hours rated life at 125 °C reduces replacement cycles and supports long-term reliability in hot operating environments.
• Stable Low-Impedance Performance: 16 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and controlled impedance ratios deliver consistent filtering and transient handling across temperature.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification: AEC-Q200 status provides a documented reliability baseline for automotive system designers.
• Reflow-Ready SMD Form Factor: Lead-free reflow compatibility to 260 °C and a compact 12 × 8 mm footprint simplify automated assembly and PCB layout.
• High Ripple Current Handling: 3.8 A at 100 kHz capability supports high-frequency power conversion and switching regulator applications.
• Regulatory Compatibility: RoHS compliance supports use in regulated product designs.
