PCV1V560MCL1GS

The PCV1V560MCL1GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's PCV series. It delivers a 56 µF capacitance at a 35 V rating in a compact SMD can package engineered for applications that demand low ESR, high ripple-current capability and long-term stability at elevated temperatures.

Designed for demanding environments, the part combines AEC-Q200 qualification, a wide operating temperature range of -55 °C to +105 °C and a 3000-hour load life at 105 °C to support robust power-filtering and decoupling needs in automotive and industrial electronics.

Key Features

• Dielectric and construction – Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic, chip-type construction optimized for low impedance and stable performance.
• Capacitance and tolerance – 56 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Voltage rating – Rated voltage of 35 V for elevated-voltage power rails.
• Low ESR and high ripple capability – ESR of 31 mΩ at 100 kHz and ripple-current handling of 1.9 A at 100 kHz (also 950 mA at 120 Hz), enabling effective smoothing on high-frequency power rails.
• Reliability and lifetime – Load life rated at 3000 hours at 105 °C; meets endurance and damp-heat criteria specified for the PCV series.
• Automotive qualification – AEC-Q200 qualified for use in automotive electronic designs.
• SMD assembly compatibility – Surface-mount can type with lead-free reflow compatibility up to a 260 °C peak reflow profile (assembly guidelines specified in the series datasheet).
• Operating temperature – Rated for operation from -55 °C to +105 °C.
• Package and land pattern – Compact package dimensions L: 1.0 × D: 0.8 cm with recommended land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm for PCB layout.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics – AEC-Q200 qualification and high-temperature endurance make it suitable for power decoupling and filtering in automotive control modules and electronic subsystems.
• Power-supply filtering – Low ESR and high ripple-current ratings support smoothing and bulk decoupling on DC–DC converter outputs and intermediate power rails.
• Industrial embedded systems – Long load life at elevated temperature and robust damp-heat performance suit demanding industrial and control applications requiring extended reliability.

Unique Advantages

• AEC-Q200 qualification: Enables specification in automotive-grade designs where AEC compliance is required.
• Long high-temperature life: 3000 hours at 105 °C provides extended durability under sustained thermal stress.
• High ripple and low ESR: 1.9 A ripple at 100 kHz and 31 mΩ ESR reduce voltage ripple and improve power-stage stability.
• Lead-free reflow capable: SMD construction supports lead-free assembly with a 260 °C peak reflow condition, simplifying manufacturing integration.
• Compact SMD can: Small physical footprint and defined land pattern (8.3 × 8.3 mm) streamline PCB layout for space-constrained designs.
