PCJ1C680MCL1GS

The PCJ1C680MCL1GS is a conductive-polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor in an SMD radial can package. It delivers low ESR and high ripple-current capability in a compact footprint for designs requiring robust power filtering and decoupling.

Designed for demanding environments, this capacitor supports a rated voltage of 16 V, a capacitance of 68 µF with ±20% tolerance, and an operating temperature range of −55 °C to +105 °C. It is AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 68 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 16 V, polarization specified for correct orientation in circuits.
• Low ESR — ESR of 28 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, enabling efficient high-frequency performance and reduced loss.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple currents of 1.195 A at 120 Hz and 2.39 A at 100 kHz support heavy AC stress on power rails.
• Wide Temperature Range & Endurance — Operates from −55 °C to +105 °C with a load life of 2000 hours at 105 °C.
• SMD Radial Can Package — Compact dimensions (L: 6 × D: 6.3 mm) with a recommended land size of 6.6 × 6.6 mm for surface-mount assembly.
• Lead-Free Reflow Capability — Compatible with lead-free reflow soldering up to a 260 °C peak for standard SMD assembly processes.
• Standards & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and compliant to RoHS directives (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Automotive Power Electronics — Local decoupling and smoothing on automotive power rails where AEC-Q200 qualification and high ripple handling are required.
• DC–DC Converters — Input/output filtering for converter stages benefiting from low ESR and high ripple-current capacity.
• Embedded and Control Modules — Bulk and decoupling capacitance in compact SMD form for control units and module power supplies.

Unique Advantages

• Low-loss operation: 28 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces heat and improves power delivery efficiency in high-frequency circuits.
• High ripple tolerance: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz enable handling of both low- and high-frequency ripple components.
• Thermal endurance: 2000-hour load life at 105 °C supports long-term reliability in elevated-temperature environments.
• AEC-Q200 qualification: Provides an added level of verification for use in automotive-grade designs.
• SMD-ready package: Small radial can (6 × 6.3 mm) with defined land pattern for streamlined surface-mount assembly and space-constrained layouts.
• RoHS compliant: Meets environmental directives for lead-free and restricted-substance requirements.
