PCZ1C561MCL2GS

The PCZ1C561MCL2GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor designed for high-reliability power decoupling and smoothing in demanding temperature environments. As a chip-style SMD with lead-free reflow compatibility, it targets applications that require low ESR, high ripple handling, and long operational life.

Key value comes from its high-temperature endurance and verified performance metrics: 560 μF at 16 V, ESR of 16 mΩ (100 kHz), rated operation from −55 °C to +150 °C, and a lifetime specification of 2000 hours at 150 °C. The device is AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 560 μF nominal capacitance at a 16 V rated voltage for bulk energy storage and decoupling needs.
• High Temperature Endurance — Rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 150 °C, specified for high-temperature applications.
• Low ESR — Equivalent series resistance of 16 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, enabling improved ripple performance and reduced loss.
• High Ripple Current — Supports 1 A at 120 Hz and 2 A at 100 kHz for demanding power delivery and filtering duties.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Specified for −55 °C to +150 °C operation to cover harsh thermal environments.
• SMD, Reflow Compatible — Chip-type surface-mount package with lead‑free reflow soldering compatibility up to a 260 °C peak.
• Reliability & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant per the provided product data.
• Compact Package — Small footprint (L: 1.2 × D: 0.8 cm) with recommended land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm for dense PCB layouts.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power electronics — Decoupling and smoothing in control modules and power supplies that require AEC-Q200 qualification and high-temperature endurance.
• DC–DC converters and power rails — Bulk capacitance and low ESR to support switching supplies and voltage regulation under high ripple conditions.
• Industrial controls and power modules — Energy storage and filtering in equipment exposed to wide temperature ranges and continuous thermal stress.

Unique Advantages

• Long high-temperature life — 2000 hours at 150 °C provides predictable aging and margin in thermal-stressed designs.
• Measured low-loss performance — 16 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz minimizes dissipation and improves efficiency in high-frequency circuits.
• High ripple tolerance — 2 A at 100 kHz and 1 A at 120 Hz enable robust handling of both high-frequency switching and low-frequency ripple.
• Surface-mount, reflow-ready — Designed for lead-free reflow processes (260 °C peak), simplifying assembly in modern SMT production lines.
• Industrial and automotive ready — AEC-Q200 rating and −55 °C to +150 °C temperature range support deployment in regulated and harsh-environment systems.
