RS61E560MCN1

The RS61E560MCN1 from Nichicon is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a compact radial-can package. It delivers 56 μF capacitance at a 25 V rating with low ESR and high ripple-current capability for demanding power-decoupling and smoothing applications.

Designed for general-purpose electronics, this radial-lead device combines a wide operating temperature range of –55°C to +105°C with a 2000-hour life at 105°C, offering stable performance in thermally stressed power and signal circuits.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 56 μF rated capacitance at 25 V with ±20% tolerance measured at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Conductive Polymer Construction: Solid conductive polymer electrolyte for low ESR and stable electrical characteristics over temperature.
• Low ESR: Equivalent series resistance of 30 mΩ (measured at 100 kHz, 20°C), supporting efficient high-frequency performance.
• High Ripple Current: Handles 280 mA at 120 Hz and up to 2.8 A at 300 kHz (specified ripple-current values), enabling robust filtering in switching power stages.
• Thermal Endurance: Rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 105°C with an operating range from –55°C to +105°C for reliable field operation.
• Compact Radial Package: Radial lead, can-style package with 2.5 mm lead spacing and a body size of φ6.3 × 5 mm for space-constrained board designs.
• Frequency Response: Frequency coefficients for ripple current: 0.10 at 120 Hz, 0.45 at 1 kHz, 0.50 at 10 kHz, and 1.00 at 100 kHz and 300 kHz, useful for ripple-current budgeting across applications.
• Compliance: RoHS compliant for regulatory alignment in electronics manufacturing.

Typical Applications

• Power Supply Decoupling: Local bulk and high-frequency decoupling on DC–DC converter outputs and point-of-load regulators where low ESR and compact size are required.
• Switching Power Stages: Output and snubber capacitors for switching regulators and power modules that demand high ripple-current capability at high frequencies.
• Embedded Systems: Bulk and smoothing capacitor in compact embedded controllers and communication modules with limited PCB real estate.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR Enables Efficient Filtering: 30 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces power loss and improves voltage stability in high-frequency circuits.
• High-Frequency Ripple Handling: Specified ripple-current ratings up to 2.8 A at 300 kHz allow confident selection for modern switching regulators.
• Compact Radial Footprint: φ6.3 × 5 mm body with 2.5 mm lead spacing fits tight PCB layouts while providing substantial capacitance.
• Thermal Reliability: 2000-hour endurance at 105°C and a –55°C to +105°C operating range support long-term performance in elevated-temperature environments.
• Regulatory Ready: RoHS compliance simplifies integration into products requiring restricted-substance conformity.
