PCM1J680MCL1GS

The PCM1J680MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor in an SMD can package. It combines low ESR and high ripple-current capability with a high operating-temperature range for demanding environments.

Designed for applications requiring long-term stability at elevated temperatures, this capacitor targets automotive and industrial power systems where AEC-Q200 qualification, RoHS compliance, and reflow compatibility are needed.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 68 µF nominal capacitance rated at 63 V for bulk decoupling and energy storage in mid-voltage power rails.
• Low ESR — 28 mΩ ESR specified at 100 kHz, 20°C; supports low-loss operation and efficient power delivery.
• High Ripple Current — 1.25 A at 120 Hz and 2.5 A at 100 kHz to handle high AC ripple in power conversion and filtering.
• Extended High‑Temperature Life — Long life rating of 8000 hours at 125°C, supporting reliable operation in hot ambient conditions.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range — Rated from −55 °C to +125 °C for use across broad thermal environments.
• Automotive Qualification — AEC-Q200 qualified, suitable for automotive-grade designs that require component qualification.
• SMD, Reflow-Compatible Package — Chip-type SMD can with lead‑free reflow compatibility up to a 260 °C peak; intended for standard surface-mount assembly processes.
• RoHS Compliance — Conforms to RoHS directives (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for lead-free production requirements.
• Dimension & Land Pattern — Compact 10 mm × 10 mm body with recommended land size of 10.3 mm × 10.3 mm for PCB layout and automated placement.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power electronics — AEC-Q200 qualification makes this capacitor suitable for vehicle power modules and control units that demand reliability at elevated temperatures.
• Power conversion and regulation — Low ESR and high ripple-current ratings support DC–DC converters, voltage regulators, and bulk filtering on power rails.
• Industrial equipment in high-ambient environments — Long-life rating at 125 °C and wide operating temperature range enable use in equipment exposed to sustained heat.

Unique Advantages

• High-temperature endurance: Rated for 8000 hours at 125 °C, enabling longer maintenance intervals and predictable lifetime in hot applications.
• Improved power-handling: Low ESR (28 mΩ at 100 kHz) and high ripple-current capability reduce losses and thermal stress in power circuits.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 qualification provides a qualification baseline for automotive system designers.
• Assembly-ready SMD format: Chip-type can package supports lead‑free reflow up to 260 °C for modern surface-mount production flows.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity simplifies regulatory adherence for end products.
• Temperature-stable impedance: Specified impedance stability across −55 °C to +125 °C supports consistent filtering and decoupling performance over wide thermal ranges.
