PCJ1A680MCL1GS

The PCJ1A680MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor designed for surface-mount applications that require low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and high ripple handling. Its compact chip-style package and high-capacitance density make it suitable for demanding power decoupling and filtering tasks in electronic systems.

Engineered for reliability, this part offers a 68 µF capacitance at 10 V rating, AEC-Q200 qualification for automotive-grade robustness, lead-free reflow compatibility to a 260°C peak, and RoHS compliance. Key value comes from low ESR and robust thermal endurance for extended operation up to 105°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 68 µF nominal capacitance with a 10 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable for bulk decoupling and energy storage in low-voltage power rails.
• Low ESR — 28 mΩ ESR measured at 100 kHz, providing reduced voltage drop and improved transient response in high-frequency power circuits.
• High Ripple Handling — Rated ripple currents of 2.31 A at 100 kHz and 1.155 A at 120 Hz, enabling effective smoothing in switching regulators and DC–DC converters.
• Thermal & Lifetime — Operating temperature range from −55°C to +105°C with a specified load life of 2000 hours at 105°C, delivering predictable aging and endurance under elevated temperature stress.
• Package & Mounting — Surface-mount, chip-type radial/can SMD construction with dimensions L: 6 × D: 5 mm and recommended land size L: 5.3 × W: 5.3 mm for compact board layouts.
• Soldering Compatibility — Designed for lead‑free reflow soldering with peak temperature correspondence to 260°C per series soldering guidance.
• Qualification & Compliance — AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), supporting use in regulated and automotive environments.
• Polarized Electrolyte — Polar capacitor construction for correct orientation in DC circuits.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Power Electronics — Bulk decoupling and local energy storage on 10 V rails in control modules and power converters, leveraging AEC‑Q200 qualification and high ripple capability.
• DC–DC Converters — Input/output filtering in switching regulators where low ESR and high-frequency ripple attenuation improve regulator stability and efficiency.
• Infotainment & Telematics — Power rail smoothing in compact electronic subsystems that require compact SMD packaging and lead‑free reflow compatibility.
• Industrial Control — Local decoupling for sensors and driver electronics operating across −55°C to +105°C with reliable long-term performance.

Unique Advantages

• Low-loss, high-frequency performance: 28 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces heat generation and improves transient response in high-speed power networks.
• High ripple capacity: Rated ripple currents up to 2.31 A at 100 kHz support demanding switching applications without excessive temperature rise.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC‑Q200 status provides a documented quality baseline for use in automotive and ruggedized electronics.
• Compact SMD footprint: Small L: 6 × D: 5 mm package and recommended 5.3 × 5.3 mm land pattern enable dense PCB layouts and simplified placement.
• Extended high-temperature endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C load life specification delivers predictable aging characteristics for long-term designs.
• Lead-free manufacturing compatibility: Conforms to lead‑free reflow up to 260°C, aligning with modern assembly processes and RoHS requirements.
