GYE1C681MCQ1GS

The GYE1C681MCQ1GS from Nichicon is a chip-type conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for high-reliability surface-mount applications. It delivers 680 µF at 16 V with low ESR and high ripple-current capability in a compact φ10 × 10 mm SMD can.

Engineered for demanding temperature and endurance requirements, the part supports an operating range of −55 °C to +125 °C, a rated lifetime of 4000 hours at 125 °C, AEC-Q200 qualification, and RoHS compliance—making it suitable for automotive and other high-temperature electronics where long-term stability and high ripple handling are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 680 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 16 V and tolerance ±20% (measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz).
• Conductive Polymer Hybrid Construction — Chip-type hybrid aluminum electrolytic design specified for high reliability and operation at elevated temperatures (125 °C).
• Low ESR — ESR of 20 mΩ measured at 20 °C and 100 kHz, supporting low-impedance power paths.
• High Ripple Current — Supports 420 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.8 A at 100 kHz (high frequency) to handle demanding ripple conditions.
• Loss Angle (tan δ) — tan δ of 0.16 at 20 °C and 120 Hz for the 16 V rating, useful for impedance and dissipation planning.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 108.8 µA (after 2 minutes at rated voltage, 20 °C), enabling predictable stand-by behavior.
• Long Life & Robustness — Endurance of 4000 hours at 125 °C with defined limits for capacitance change, tan δ and ESR; meets damp heat and soldering heat resistance criteria from the datasheet.
• Package & Assembly — Surface-mount radial can (chip type) in φ10 × 10L size with embossed carrier taping for automated placement.
• Standards & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant as stated in the product data and datasheet.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Energy storage and decoupling in automotive modules where AEC-Q200 qualification and operation to 125 °C are required.
• Power Supply Filtering in High-Temperature Systems — Smoothing and ripple handling in power stages that demand 2.8 A high-frequency ripple capability and low ESR.
• Rugged Industrial Electronics — Long-life bulk capacitance for systems operating across −55 °C to +125 °C and requiring 4000 hours endurance at elevated temperature.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: 2.8 A at 100 kHz and 420 mA at 120 Hz support aggressive ripple environments and help reduce heat buildup in power designs.
• Low-impedance performance: 20 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz minimizes voltage drop and improves transient response in decoupling applications.
• Designed for high-temperature endurance: 4000 hours at 125 °C provides predictable long-term behavior in elevated-temperature deployments.
• AEC-Q200 qualified: Enables use in automotive-grade designs that require recognized component-level reliability qualification.
• Compact SMD can: φ10 × 10 mm chip package with embossed carrier taping simplifies automated assembly while preserving capacitance density.
• Predictable leakage and dissipation: Specified leakage current and tan δ values support thermal and power-loss budgeting during system design.
