PCV1E560MCL1GS

The PCV1E560MCL1GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s PCV series. It delivers 56 µF capacitance at a 25 V rating with low equivalent series resistance and elevated ripple-current capability for demanding power applications.

Designed for professional electronics and automotive electronics use, this capacitor combines long endurance, wide temperature range, and lead‑free reflow compatibility to support robust power-decoupling and smoothing in compact SMD assemblies.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 56 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 25 V and capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• Low ESR — ESR of 50 mΩ measured at 100 kHz and 20°C, helping reduce power loss and heat in high-frequency circuits.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 650 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 1.3 A (100 kHz) to support DC‑DC converters and switching power supplies.
• Leakage & Dissipation — Leakage current specified at 280 µA and tan δ (DF) of 0.12 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, enabling predictable performance in bias-stressed circuits.
• Long Life & Temperature Range — Endurance of 3000 hours at 105°C and operating temperature range from −55°C to +105°C for reliable operation in elevated-temperature environments.
• SMD Can Package — Radial can, surface-mount design in a compact φ8 package for board-level integration; supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture proof packing for automated placement.
• Manufacturing & Compliance — Mass-production status, RoHS compliant, and AEC‑Q200 qualified as part of the PCV series.
• Reflow Compatibility — Meets lead‑free reflow soldering condition up to a 260°C peak as specified for the PCV series, supporting standard SMT assembly processes.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Use in vehicle electronic modules where AEC‑Q200 qualification and a wide temperature range are required for power filtering and decoupling.
• Power Supply Decoupling — Ideal for bulk and output-stage decoupling in switching regulators and DC‑DC converters due to low ESR and high ripple-current rating.
• Embedded and Industrial Systems — Supports stable power rails and transient suppression in compact SMD assemblies operating across −55°C to +105°C.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR for Efficient Power Delivery: 50 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces losses and improves regulator stability in high-frequency circuits.
• High Ripple-Current Handling: 1.3 A at 100 kHz (and 650 mA at 120 Hz) allows direct use on switching nodes and outputs without overspecifying the BOM.
• Long Endurance at Elevated Temperature: 3000 hours at 105°C provides predictable lifetime behavior for designs exposed to sustained thermal stress.
• AEC‑Q200 Qualification: Series-level qualification supports use in automotive-grade modules and other reliability-focused designs.
• SMT-Ready Packaging: Embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing accelerates automated assembly and handling.
• Lead‑Free Reflow Compatibility: Specified reflow tolerance up to 260°C peak supports modern Pb‑free assembly processes.
