Overview of PCS1A560MCL9GS – 56 µF Conductive Polymer Aluminum SMD Capacitor, 10 V
The PCS1A560MCL9GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor delivering 56 µF at 10 V in a compact φ6.3 × 6 mm can-style package. It is designed for applications that require long operating life, low ESR and robust ripple handling across a wide temperature range.
With AEC-Q200 qualification, a rated operating range of -55°C to +105°C and a rated endurance of 5000 hours at 105°C, this capacitor targets demanding automotive and industrial electronics where reliability and stable power performance matter.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 56 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 10 V and tolerance of ±20% (−20% to +20%).
- Low ESR — 27 mΩ equivalent series resistance measured at 20°C and 100 kHz, supporting efficient power delivery and reduced loss.
- High Ripple Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 1.15 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 2.3 A (100 kHz) for effective smoothing in power circuits.
- Long Life — Endurance of 5000 hours at 105°C, with performance retention specified after restoration to 20°C per datasheet endurance conditions.
- Wide Temperature Range — Rated for operation from −55°C to +105°C for use in harsh thermal environments.
- Conductive Polymer Construction — Solid electrolyte technology for stable electrical characteristics and reduced leakage.
- Compact SMD Can Package — φ6.3 × 6 mm package (L×D: 6 × 6.3 mm) with surface mount land size 6.6 × 6.6 mm and embossed carrier taping/moisture-proof packing for automated assembly.
- Standards & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, supporting regulated manufacturing requirements.
- Leakage & Dissipation — Specified leakage current of 112 µA and tanδ (loss tangent) of 0.12 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz.
Typical Applications
- Automotive Electronics — Suitable for automotive electronic modules that require a long-life, surface-mount smoothing capacitor rated for −55°C to +105°C and AEC-Q200 qualification.
- Power Supply Filtering — Used for bulk decoupling and output smoothing on low-voltage (10 V) power rails where low ESR and high ripple handling improve regulator stability.
- Embedded and Control Modules — Compact SMD form factor for space-constrained control units and sensor modules requiring reliable capacitance over temperature and time.
Unique Advantages
- Reliable long-term operation: 5000-hour endurance at 105°C provides predictable lifetime characteristics for sustained high-temperature service.
- High ripple tolerance with low loss: 2.3 A at 100 kHz and 27 mΩ ESR reduce heating and improve power integrity in switching environments.
- Automotive-ready qualification: AEC-Q200 rating and wide temperature performance address automotive qualification requirements and robust system design.
- Compact, assembly-friendly package: Small φ6.3 × 6 mm SMD can and embossed carrier taping simplify board-level integration and automated placement.
- Stable electrical behavior: Low tanδ and controlled leakage current support consistent filtering and decoupling performance across conditions.
