PCF1D680MCL1GS

The PCF1D680MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a surface-mount radial can package. It delivers 68 µF capacitance at a 20 V rating with low ESR and high ripple current capability, targeting demanding power-filtering and decoupling roles.

Engineered for automotive-grade environments, this AEC-Q200 qualified part combines high ripple handling, wide operating temperature range and a 2000-hour endurance at 105°C to support robust, long-life power designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 68 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 20 V and tolerance of ±20% (–20% to 20%).
• Conductive Polymer Electrolyte — Solid conductive polymer construction for stable performance and low ESR.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Capability — ESR of 40 mΩ measured at 20°C / 100 kHz, with low-frequency ripple current of 1.3 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 2.6 A (100 kHz).
• Leakage and Loss — Specified leakage current of 272 µA and tanδ (DF) of 0.12 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz.
• Automotive-Grade Reliability — AEC-Q200 qualified and rated for operation from –55°C to +105°C with a load life of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Surface-Mount Can Package — Radial, can-style SMD (φ10 × 8L) supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for automated assembly.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directives.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power systems — Bulk smoothing and decoupling on DC–DC converters and power rails where low ESR and high ripple current handling are required.
• Control modules — Local energy storage and filtering in electronic control units that operate across –55°C to +105°C and demand long endurance.
• Infotainment and body electronics — Power conditioning for audio, display and telematics subsystems benefiting from solid electrolyte stability and low loss.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Specified 1.3 A at 120 Hz and 2.6 A at 100 kHz supports demanding AC stress on power rails.
• Low ESR performance: 40 mΩ ESR at 20°C/100 kHz minimizes voltage drop and heat generation in high-current applications.
• Automotive qualification: AEC-Q200 rating and wide temperature range (–55°C to +105°C) enable deployment in harsh in-vehicle environments.
• Long endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C specified load life provides predictable aging and stability for extended deployments.
• Assembly-ready packaging: Embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing supports automated surface-mount assembly and handling.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity for global electronics manufacturing requirements.
