PLS0J561MCO8

The PLS0J561MCO8 is a radial-lead conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor designed for compact, high-performance power applications. It combines ultra-low ESR and high ripple-current capability with a long-rated life of 5000 hours at 105°C, making it suitable for demanding general-purpose filtering and decoupling tasks.

Key construction and compliance details include a radial can package, lead-free flow soldering compatibility, and RoHS compliance. Note: this product is scheduled to be discontinued and is not recommended for new designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 560 µF rated at 6.3 V for bulk decoupling and energy buffering in low-voltage power rails.
• Ultra-low ESR — 9 mOhm ESR specified at 100 kHz, reducing voltage ripple and improving transient response.
• High ripple current capability — 2.15 A at 120 Hz and 4.3 A at 100 kHz to handle AC ripple and switching stresses.
• Long life at elevated temperature — Rated for 5000 hours at 105°C to support extended operation in hot environments.
• Wide operating temperature range — −55°C to +105°C for reliable performance across a broad thermal envelope.
• Radial lead package — Compact radial can with dimensions L: 9 × D: 6.3 mm and 2.5 mm lead spacing for through-hole mounting.
• Polarized — Designed for circuits that require electrolytic polarity.
• RoHS and lead-free process compatible — Compliant with RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) and suitable for lead-free flow soldering conditions.
• Capacitance tolerance — ±20% at 120 Hz, 20°C for predictable filtering performance.

Typical Applications

• Power supply filtering — Provides bulk filtering and smoothing on low-voltage rails where low ESR and high ripple handling are required.
• DC–DC converter output — Suited for output decoupling in compact converters benefiting from high ripple-current capability and low impedance.
• General-purpose electronics — Fits a wide range of consumer and industrial designs that require reliable, compact electrolytic capacitors.

Unique Advantages

• Measurable low ESR — 9 mOhm at 100 kHz helps reduce heat generation and voltage drop under high-frequency load transients.
• High ripple handling — Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies (2.15 A at 120 Hz; 4.3 A at 100 kHz) support switching power applications.
• Extended high-temperature endurance — 5000-hour life at 105°C provides predictable long-term behavior in elevated-temperature environments.
• Compact through-hole footprint — Small 6.3 mm diameter and 9 mm length enable space-efficient board layouts while retaining axial stability via radial leads.
• Process and environmental compliance — Lead-free flow soldering compatibility and RoHS compliance simplify manufacturing and regulatory adherence.

Why Choose PLS0J561MCO8?

PLS0J561MCO8 targets designs that require a compact, low-impedance electrolytic capacitor with strong ripple-current performance and proven endurance at elevated temperatures. Its combination of 560 µF capacitance, ultra-low ESR, and 5000-hour life at 105°C delivers reliable filtering and decoupling in space-constrained through-hole implementations.

This part is appropriate for engineers and procurement teams maintaining or qualifying existing designs where these exact characteristics are required. Because the product is scheduled for discontinuation and not recommended for new designs, evaluate current inventory and lifecycle considerations before specifying it in new projects.
