GYE1E680MCQ1GS

The GYE1E680MCQ1GS is a conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a surface-mount can package, offering 68 µF capacitance at 25 V. It is part of Nichicon’s GYE series designed for low ESR, high ripple current performance and long-term reliability.

Targeted for demanding electronic power applications, this capacitor is AEC‑Q200 qualified, RoHS compliant, polarized, and rated for operation from −55 °C to 125 °C with a qualified endurance of 4000 hours at 125 °C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 68 µF nominal capacitance at a 25 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance, suitable for decoupling and bulk energy storage in low-voltage power rails.
• Conductive Polymer Hybrid Construction — Hybrid polymer technology provides low impedance and improved ripple handling compared with conventional electrolytics.
• Low ESR — ESR specified at 50 mΩ (at 100 kHz, 20 °C), enabling reduced voltage ripple and improved thermal performance in high-frequency applications.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple currents of 165 mA at 120 Hz and 1.1 A at 100 kHz support demanding switching and power-conversion environments.
• Extended High‑Temperature Life — Endurance rated for 4000 hours at 125 °C; after this test, capacitance change remains within ±30% and ESR remains within 200% of initial specified values.
• Reliability & Qualification — AEC‑Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance reflect suitability for regulated, high-reliability applications.
• Package & Mounting — Surface-mount radial can package (SMD) with a recommended PCB land size of 6.6 × 6.6 mm for automated assembly.
• Wide Temperature Range — Operating temperature from −55 °C to 125 °C for use across varied thermal environments.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Use in control modules and power-supply circuits where AEC‑Q200 qualification and high-temperature endurance are required.
• DC‑DC Converters — Bulk and output filtering for converters that demand low ESR and high ripple-current capability at switching frequencies.
• Power Supply Filtering — Decoupling and smoothing in point-of-load stages, leveraging 68 µF capacitance and 50 mΩ ESR to reduce voltage ripple.
• Industrial Power Modules — Energy storage and filtering in industrial power electronics exposed to wide temperature ranges and continuous operation.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Rated ripple currents (165 mA @ 120 Hz, 1.1 A @ 100 kHz) help maintain stable operation in switching power environments.
• Low impedance at high frequency: 50 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces losses and improves transient response in high-frequency circuits.
• Long high‑temperature life: 4000 hours at 125 °C endurance provides predictable aging behavior and design margin for thermal stress.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC‑Q200 qualification supports deployment in regulated, reliability-focused automotive and similar markets.
• Compact SMD can package: Surface-mount radial can design and 6.6 × 6.6 mm recommended land make the part suitable for automated PCB assembly in dense layouts.
• RoHS compliance: Meets environmental directive requirements for lead-free production environments.
