PCV1C560MCL1GS

The PCV1C560MCL1GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s PCV series. It provides 56 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating in a compact φ6.3 × 6 mm SMD can package designed for demanding temperature and ripple conditions.

Targeted for automotive and industrial power applications, the device combines low ESR, high ripple current capability and long operational life to support reliable power conditioning on compact SMD boards. It is AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Dielectric / Construction Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor (PCV series) providing solid electrolyte performance in an SMD can.
• Capacitance & Tolerance 56 µF nominal capacitance with tolerance of −20% to +20% (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz).
• Rated Voltage 16 V DC rated voltage suitable for low-voltage power rails.
• Low ESR ESR of 50 mΩ measured at 100 kHz and 20°C for improved high-frequency performance and reduced loss.
• High Ripple Current Supports 500 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1.0 A at 100 kHz (high frequency) to handle dynamic loads.
• Reliability & Lifetime Load life of 3000 hours at 105°C; endurance specifications include limits on capacitance change, tan δ and ESR after the rated-life test.
• Temperature Range Operating range from −55°C to +105°C for broad environmental tolerance.
• Package & Mounting Compact φ6.3 × 6 mm radial SMD can (package case: radial, can – SMD) with embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing for automated placement and reliable handling.
• Regulatory & Quality AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power electronics — SMD capacitor for on-board power conditioning where AEC-Q200 qualification and elevated temperature endurance are required.
• ECU and control modules — Compact smoothing and energy-storage in space-constrained control units operating up to 105°C.
• Infotainment and telematics — High ripple current and low ESR for stable supply rails in vehicle electronics.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR at high frequency: 50 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz minimizes loss and supports efficient high-frequency filtering.
• High ripple handling: 1.0 A at 100 kHz and 500 mA at 120 Hz enable reliable operation under dynamic load conditions.
• Long high-temperature life: Rated for 3000 hours at 105°C, providing predictable endurance in elevated-temperature environments.
• AEC-Q200 qualification: Meets automotive-grade quality requirements for vehicle electronics designs.
• Compact SMD can package: φ6.3 × 6 mm form factor with embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing for automated assembly and small-board integration.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant for use in regulated manufacturing environments.
