PCH1K680MCL1GS

The PCH1K680MCL1GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a chip-style SMD can package. Designed for high-temperature, high-reliability applications, it delivers low ESR and high ripple-current performance in a compact footprint.

Targeted at demanding markets such as automotive electronics and other high-temperature power assemblies, this part combines an 80 V rated voltage with 68 µF capacitance, AEC‑Q200 qualification, RoHS compliance and lead-free reflow compatibility to 260°C peak.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 68 µF capacitance at an 80 V rated voltage; capacitance tolerance ±20% (−20% to +20%).
• Low ESR & High Ripple Handling: ESR of 28 mΩ measured at 100 kHz and rated ripple current up to 1.5 A at 100 kHz (750 mA at 120 Hz), suited for power delivery and filtering in high-frequency systems.
• High-Temperature Reliability: Operating temperature range −55 °C to +135 °C with a rated life of 4000 hours at 135 °C, and ESR specified after endurance at −40 °C.
• Package & Mounting: Surface-mount can package with dimensions L: 1.27 × D: 1.00 cm and recommended land size L: 1.03 × W: 1.03 cm; SMD lead-free reflow compatible with peak solder temperature up to 260 °C.
• Standards & Compliance: AEC‑Q200 qualified and compliant with RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Leakage Current: Leakage current specified as not more than 0.03CV after 2 minutes' application of rated voltage (per datasheet conditions).

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Designed for modules and systems that require components qualified to AEC‑Q200 and reliable operation at elevated temperatures up to 135 °C.
• High-temperature power assemblies — Suited to power management and filtering in environments where sustained high-temperature endurance (4000 hours at 135 °C) is required.
• Surface-mount production — Chip-style SMD can compatible with lead-free reflow to 260 °C peak for modern PCB assembly processes.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability: 80 V rating enables use in higher-voltage power rails without changing capacitor family.
• Compact, robust SMD form factor: Chip-type can package and specified land pattern simplify board layout while supporting automated assembly and reflow.
• Low ESR with high ripple capacity: 28 mΩ ESR (100 kHz) and 1.5 A ripple current (100 kHz) reduce power-loss and heat generation in high-frequency applications.
• Long high-temperature life: 4000 hours at 135 °C provides predictable longevity in elevated-temperature installations.
• Industry qualification and compliance: AEC‑Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance support regulated and industrial product programs.
