Overview of PCV1H560MCL2GS – Conductive-Polymer Aluminum SMD Capacitor, 56 µF 50 V
The PCV1H560MCL2GS is a conductive-polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in an SMD can package, offering 56 µF capacitance at a 50 V rating. Designed for demanding power applications, it delivers low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and high ripple current handling in a compact surface-mount footprint.
Engineered for reliability in harsh environments, this part is AEC-Q200 qualified, RoHS compliant and rated for operation from −55 °C to +105 °C with a 3000‑hour load life at 105 °C—making it suitable for automotive and industrial power electronics use cases.
Key Features
- Conductive‑polymer aluminum construction — Solid electrolyte chemistry for low ESR and stable performance over temperature.
- Rated capacitance — 56 µF with ±20% tolerance for predictable bulk and decoupling performance.
- Voltage rating — 50 V nominal rating appropriate for many power-rail and converter applications.
- Low ESR — 28 mΩ (measured at 100 kHz) to minimize losses and heat under high-frequency ripple.
- High ripple current capability — 1.7 A at 120 Hz and 3.4 A at 100 kHz for effective smoothing under both low- and high-frequency loading.
- Long endurance — 3000 hours at 105 °C rated load life for sustained performance in elevated-temperature environments.
- Automotive qualification — AEC‑Q200 qualified for use in automotive applications.
- SMD package and reflow compatibility — Can-style surface-mount package designed for lead-free reflow (260 °C peak) assembly processes.
- Wide operating temperature — −55 °C to +105 °C to cover a broad range of environmental conditions.
- Compact dimensions — Package approx. 12 mm × 8 mm and recommended land pattern 8.3 mm × 8.3 mm for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Typical Applications
- Automotive power electronics — Bulk and decoupling on DC‑DC converters and control modules where AEC‑Q200 qualification and elevated-temperature endurance are required.
- Power supply filtering — Smoothing and energy buffering for on-board power rails thanks to low ESR and high ripple-current handling.
- Embedded and industrial systems — Reliable bulk capacitance in compact SMD form for power management in rugged environments.
Unique Advantages
- Proven endurance at elevated temperature — 3000 hours at 105 °C provides designers with a measurable reliability baseline for long-term operation.
- Low-loss performance — 28 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces conduction losses and thermal buildup in high-frequency circuits.
- High ripple capacity across frequencies — Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 100 kHz cover both low- and high-frequency filtering needs.
- Automotive-ready qualification — AEC-Q200 status supports deployment in transportation systems requiring industry-recognized component qualification.
- Assembly-friendly SMD can — Designed for lead-free reflow up to 260 °C to fit modern surface-mount manufacturing processes.
- Compact footprint — Small package and defined land pattern simplify layout in space-constrained designs.
