PCX1H5R6MCL1GS

The PCX1H5R6MCL1GS is a conductive-polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor in Nichicon’s PCX series. It delivers a 5.6 µF capacitance at a 50 V rating in a compact SMD can package designed for demanding thermal and electrical environments.

Engineered for automotive and high-reliability power applications, this part combines low ESR and high ripple-current capability with long high-temperature endurance and full compatibility with lead‑free reflow at a 260°C peak.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 5.6 µF rated capacitance with a 50 V voltage rating and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Conductive-Polymer Aluminum Construction — Solid electrolyte architecture offering low ESR and stable performance across temperature.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Current — ESR of 105 mΩ at 100 kHz; ripple current ratings of 140 mA at 120 Hz and 280 mA at 100 kHz for robust power-decoupling performance.
• High Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation from -55°C to +125°C with an endurance specification of 1500 hours at 125°C for this part.
• Surface-Mount, Reflow-Compatible Package — SMD radial can (L: 6 × D: 6.3 mm) designed for lead-free reflow soldering with a 260°C peak allowance.
• AEC‑Q200 Qualified & RoHS Compliant — Qualification for AEC‑Q200 and compliance with RoHS directives for regulated materials.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Power Electronics — Smoothing and decoupling in ECUs and power modules where AEC‑Q200 qualification and 125°C endurance are required.
• DC‑DC Converters — Output filtering and energy storage benefiting from low ESR and high ripple-current capability.
• Embedded Power Supplies — Local decoupling for high-frequency regulation thanks to low impedance at 100 kHz.

Unique Advantages

• High-Temperature Reliability: Endurance rated at 1500 hours at 125°C provides predictable life in elevated-temperature assemblies.
• Low Loss, High-Frequency Performance: 105 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and specified ripple-current values enable effective high-frequency decoupling.
• Reflow-Compatible SMD Form Factor: Compact 6 × 6.3 mm can for surface-mount assembly with lead-free reflow up to a 260°C peak.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification: AEC‑Q200 qualification supports use in applications requiring industry-recognized component screening.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS conformity ensures adherence to restricted-substance requirements.
