GYA1V680MCQ1GS

The GYA1V680MCQ1GS from Nichicon is a surface-mount conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for high-reliability, high-temperature applications. It delivers 68 µF capacitance at 35 V in a compact φ6.3 × 7.7 mm SMD can, targeting systems that require low ESR, high ripple handling and extended endurance.

With an operating range from −55 °C to 125 °C and a rated life of 4000 hours at 125 °C, this part is suitable for demanding environments where long-term stability and robustness are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage 68 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 35 V and a tolerance of ±20% (−20% ~ 20%).
• Low ESR & High-Frequency Performance Equivalent series resistance of 35 mΩ at 100 kHz (20 °C) supports efficient high-frequency decoupling and power conditioning.
• High Ripple Current Capability Low-frequency ripple current of 210 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 1.4 A (100 kHz) for improved thermal and electrical handling in switching applications.
• High Temperature Endurance Rated for −55 °C to 125 °C and validated for 4000 hours at 125 °C, providing long life under elevated temperature stress.
• Conductive Polymer Hybrid Construction Hybrid polymer technology delivers low loss (tan δ = 0.12 at 35 V, 120 Hz, 20 °C) and stable electrical characteristics over temperature.
• Surface-Mount Packaging Compact radial SMD can (φ6.3 × 7.7 mm) supplied in embossed carrier taping for automated assembly.
• AEC-Q200 Rated Designed to meet AEC-Q200 qualification requirements for applications requiring automotive-grade component robustness.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronic systems — Bulk and decoupling capacitance where AEC-Q200 qualification and extended high-temperature endurance are required.
• Power supply modules — Smoothing and ripple suppression in DC–DC converters and power regulation circuits that benefit from low ESR and high ripple current capability.
• High-temperature electronics — Applications operating up to 125 °C where long life (4000 hours at 125 °C) and stable performance are critical.
• Surface-mount assembly — Automated production environments that require embossed carrier taping and SMD packaging for compact board layouts.

Unique Advantages

• Stable high-temperature performance: 4000-hour life at 125 °C ensures predictable end-of-life characteristics in elevated-temperature designs.
• Improved power handling: High-frequency ripple current of 1.4 A and low ESR (35 mΩ at 100 kHz) reduce heating and improve efficiency in switching power applications.
• Compact SMD can: Small φ6.3 × 7.7 mm size saves PCB area while providing substantial capacitance for space-constrained designs.
• Automotive-capable qualification: AEC-Q200 rating supports use in automotive-grade electronics that demand rigorous reliability standards.
• Long-term leakage stability: Leakage current specified at 23.8 µA and endurance criteria ensure maintained performance after high-temperature stress.
