PCR1C561MCL1GS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PCR1C561MCL1GS is a 560 µF, 16 V aluminum polymer capacitor manufactured by Nichicon in the PCR series. This surface mount radial can capacitor is designed for automotive applications with AEC-Q200 qualification. The component is currently active in production with 2200 units in stock. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when component availability is limited, supply chain disruptions occur, or design flexibility permits alternative qualified sources while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PCR1C561MCL1GS is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 560 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 16 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Dielectric type: Aluminum polymer (exact match required)
• Case size: 0.315" Dia (8.00 mm) (exact match required)
• Land size: 0.327" L x 0.327" W (8.30 mm x 8.30 mm) (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount (exact match required)
• Package style: Radial, Can - SMD (exact match required)

The substitute part 16SVPF560M from Panasonic Electronic Components meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in ESR, ripple current specifications, lifetime ratings, and operating temperature maximums are within acceptable engineering tolerances for this product category and do not preclude substitution when the above parameters align.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 16SVPF560M from Panasonic Electronic Components is a qualified substitute for the PCR1C561MCL1GS. Both components are active products with ROHS3 compliance. The Panasonic part demonstrates superior electrical performance characteristics, including lower ESR (14 mOhm versus 16 mOhm) and higher ripple current capacity (4.95 A versus 3.8 A at 100 kHz). The Panasonic component has a lower maximum seated height (12.00 mm versus 12.70 mm), which provides additional design flexibility for space-constrained applications.

The primary consideration for substitution is the operating temperature maximum. The PCR1C561MCL1GS operates to 125°C, while the 16SVPF560M operates to 105°C. Applications requiring sustained operation above 105°C must retain the Nichicon part. For applications operating within the -55°C to 105°C range, the Panasonic substitute is electrically and mechanically compatible.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 16SVPF560M replace the PCR1C561MCL1GS in all applications?

A: The 16SVPF560M is compatible for applications operating within -55°C to 105°C. Applications requiring operation above 105°C must use the PCR1C561MCL1GS due to its 125°C maximum operating temperature rating.

Q: Are the physical dimensions compatible for PCB assembly?

A: Yes. Both components share identical case diameter (8.00 mm), land size (8.30 mm x 8.30 mm), and mounting type (surface mount). The Panasonic part has a lower seated height (12.00 mm versus 12.70 mm), which is compatible with existing PCB layouts designed for the Nichicon part.

Q: What is the difference in ESR between these parts?

A: The PCR1C561MCL1GS has 16 mOhm ESR, while the 16SVPF560M has 14 mOhm ESR. The lower ESR of the Panasonic part results in reduced heat generation and improved ripple current handling.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the PCR1C561MCL1GS and 16SVPF560M are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the ripple current difference?

A: At 100 kHz, the PCR1C561MCL1GS handles 3.8 A ripple current, while the 16SVPF560M handles 4.95 A. The higher ripple current capacity of the Panasonic part provides additional margin in high-frequency switching applications.
