PCL1A680MCL1GS

The PCL1A680MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic, chip-type capacitor offering 68 µF capacitance at a 10 V rating. Designed as an SMD, can-style capacitor, it delivers low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and high ripple-current capability in a compact L: 6 × D: 5 mm footprint.

Targeted for demanding environments, this part provides long-term stability with a rated lifetime of 20000 hours at 105°C and is AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, making it suitable for automotive and other high-reliability applications that require stable power rail decoupling and bulk smoothing.

Key Features

• Core Technology — Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic construction for stable capacitance and reliable performance in SMD chip form.
• Electrical Performance — 68 µF capacitance at 10 V with ±20% tolerance; low ESR of 30 mΩ measured at 100 kHz supports efficient energy delivery.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple-current capability of 950 mA at 120 Hz and 1.9 A at 100 kHz, enabling effective smoothing under dynamic loads.
• Thermal and Lifetime — Rated for continuous operation from −55°C to +105°C with endurance specified as 20000 hours at 105°C.
• Package and Assembly — Surface-mount can-style (radial, Can - SMD) in a compact L: 6 × D: 5 mm package with recommended land size L: 5.3 × W: 5.3 mm; compatible with lead-free reflow peak temperature up to 260°C.
• Qualification & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) compliant for regulated environments.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronic control units (ECUs) — Provides decoupling and bulk smoothing where low ESR and long-term high-temperature endurance are required; AEC-Q200 qualification supports vehicle-grade use.
• Power-supply modules — Suited for local energy storage and output filtering in DC–DC converters and regulator outputs thanks to 68 µF capacitance and 30 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz.
• Telematics and infotainment power rails — Supports stable power delivery under variable loads with 1.9 A ripple-current capability at high frequency.
• Harsh-environment electronics — Operates across −55°C to +105°C and withstands prolonged high-temperature stress with a 20000 h lifetime rating at 105°C.

Unique Advantages

• Long high-temperature life: 20000 hours at 105°C provides predictable aging and endurance for designs exposed to sustained heat.
• Low-loss, high-current handling: 30 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and 1.9 A ripple-current rating at 100 kHz reduce power dissipation and improve regulator stability.
• Automotive-ready qualification: AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance simplify integration into vehicle systems and regulated products.
• SMD can package for compact boards: Small L: 6 × D: 5 mm footprint and defined land pattern (5.3 × 5.3 mm) ease board-level placement and routing.
• Lead-free reflow compatibility: Compatible with lead-free reflow processes (260°C peak correspondence) for modern assembly lines.
