Overview of PCX1E560MCL1GS – 56 µF, 25 V Conductive-Polymer SMD Capacitor
The PCX1E560MCL1GS is a surface-mount conductive-polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor offering 56 µF capacitance at a 25 V rating. It combines low ESR and high ripple-current capability in a compact φ6.3×8 mm SMD can designed for demanding temperature and lifetime requirements.
Engineered for high-reliability electronics including automotive applications, this part delivers long-life performance at elevated temperatures, RoHS compliance and AEC-Q200 qualification, and is supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for automated assembly.
Key Features
- Conductive-polymer aluminum construction — Solid electrolyte technology for stable performance and reduced equivalent series resistance compared with conventional electrolytes.
- Rated electricals — 56 µF capacitance at 25 V with tolerance ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C) and tanδ 0.12 at 20°C/120 Hz.
- Low ESR and high ripple handling — ESR 35 mΩ at 20°C/100 kHz, high-frequency ripple current 450 mA (100 kHz) and low-frequency ripple current 225 mA (120 Hz) for effective bulk decoupling and filtering.
- Leakage current — Specified leakage current 280 µA after standard conditioning.
- High-temperature endurance — Rated operating range −55°C to +125°C with life/endurance 1500 hours at 125°C (φ6.3 size), per series endurance specifications.
- Surface-mount can package — Compact φ6.3×8L radial can (SMD) suitable for automated placement; supplied in embossed carrier tape with moisture-proof packing.
- AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant — Designed and tested for reliability in demanding applications; compliant with RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
- Lead-free reflow compatible — Compatible with lead-free reflow soldering conditions to a 260°C peak per the PCX series specification.
Typical Applications
- Automotive electronics — Suitable for automotive modules and electronics where AEC-Q200 qualification and high temperature endurance are required.
- Power-supply decoupling and smoothing — Low ESR (35 mΩ @100 kHz) and high ripple-current capability (450 mA @100 kHz) make it effective for bulk decoupling on 25 V rails.
- High-temperature, long-life systems — Rated −55°C to +125°C with 1500 hours endurance at 125°C for applications that require sustained operation under elevated temperatures.
Unique Advantages
- Low loss at RF and switching frequencies: 35 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and tanδ specified at 120 Hz support efficient filtering in switching power applications.
- High ripple-current handling: Rated ripple currents (225 mA @120 Hz and 450 mA @100 kHz) reduce heating and extend system reliability under dynamic load conditions.
- Compact SMD can: φ6.3×8 mm size provides high capacitance in a small footprint for space-constrained boards.
- Automotive-grade reliability: AEC-Q200 qualification and a 1500-hour life at 125°C (for φ6.3) support integration into automotive and other high-reliability designs.
- Manufacturing-ready packaging: Supplied in embossed carrier tape with moisture-proof packing to support automated assembly and handling.
- Regulatory compliance: RoHS-compliant material set facilitates use in regulated markets.
