Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PCR0J561MCL1GS is determined by the following critical parameters:

Capacitance value must remain 560 µF to maintain circuit functionality. Voltage rating must be 6.3 V or higher to ensure safe operation. Tolerance of ±20% is acceptable. The package type must be radial, can-style surface mount with identical land size (0.327" L x 0.327" W) to ensure PCB compatibility. Both parts must comply with ROHS3 and REACH standards. The substitute part RHA0J561MCN1GS meets all these criteria while offering improved electrical performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RHA0J561MCN1GS is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete PCR0J561MCL1GS. Both parts are manufactured by Nichicon and share identical capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, and package footprint. The substitute part carries active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

The RHA0J561MCN1GS demonstrates superior electrical performance with lower ESR (9 mOhm versus 25 mOhm) and higher ripple current capability at 100 kHz (4.5 A versus 1.6 A). The substitute part operates across a reduced temperature range (-55°C to 105°C versus -55°C to 125°C) and specifies a shorter lifetime rating at temperature (2000 Hrs @ 105°C versus 4000 Hrs @ 125°C). Both parts maintain identical compliance certifications: ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected.

The physical height difference (0.303" for RHA0J561MCN1GS versus 0.276" for PCR0J561MCL1GS) must be evaluated for PCB clearance constraints in space-limited applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RHA0J561MCN1GS replace PCR0J561MCL1GS in all applications?

A: Both parts share identical capacitance (560 µF), voltage rating (6.3 V), tolerance (±20%), and surface mount land size (0.327" L x 0.327" W). The substitute part is electrically compatible. Physical height clearance must be confirmed, as RHA0J561MCN1GS is 0.303" tall versus 0.276" for the original part.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The primary differences are product status (substitute is active versus obsolete original), ESR (9 mOhm versus 25 mOhm), ripple current capability (4.5 A @ 100 kHz versus 1.6 A), operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C versus -55°C to 125°C), and lifetime rating (2000 Hrs @ 105°C versus 4000 Hrs @ 125°C).

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both PCR0J561MCL1GS and RHA0J561MCN1GS are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected.

Q: What is the package compatibility?

A: Both parts use identical radial, can-style surface mount packages with matching land sizes of 0.327" L x 0.327" W (8.30mm x 8.30mm), ensuring PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: Why is the original part obsolete?

A: PCR0J561MCL1GS is classified as obsolete by Nichicon. The RHA0J561MCN1GS is the active equivalent offering improved performance and guaranteed supply availability.
