PCM1K680MCL1GS

The PCM1K680MCL1GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor engineered for high-reliability, high-temperature applications. It combines low ESR and high ripple-current capability with long-life performance to support demanding power designs.

Designed for automotive and other temperature-critical markets, this chip-style capacitor delivers 68 µF at an 80 V rating, a wide operating range from -55 °C to 125 °C, and AEC-Q200 qualification for applications requiring rigorous reliability and endurance.

Key Features

• Core Type Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic construction—chip type designed for higher capacitance in a compact SMD package.
• Capacitance & Voltage 68 µF nominal capacitance with an 80 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20 °C.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Handling Low equivalent series resistance of 28 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, with rated ripple currents of 1.1 A at 120 Hz and 2.2 A at 100 kHz.
• High-Temperature Endurance Long life: 8000 hours at 125 °C per the product specification, with ESR performance maintained after endurance and at low temperature (ESR after endurance at -40 °C).
• Wide Temperature Range Operates from -55 °C to 125 °C, supporting applications across harsh thermal environments.
• Package & Mounting Surface-mount radial can (SMD) package with physical dimensions L: 1.27 × D: 1.00 cm and recommended land size L: 1.03 × W: 1.03 cm; polarized component.
• Assembly & Compliance Compatible with lead-free reflow soldering profiles up to 260 °C peak; RoHS compliant and AEC-Q200 qualified.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power systems — Smoothing, decoupling and bulk storage on vehicle power rails where 80 V rating, low ESR and extended life at 125 °C are required.
• Control modules and ECUs — Local energy storage and ripple filtering in electronic control units that demand AEC-Q200-qualified components and robust high-temperature endurance.
• High-temperature electronics — Power-management and filtering in assemblies exposed to elevated ambient temperatures, leveraging the component’s 8000-hour life at 125 °C and stable ESR after endurance.

Unique Advantages

• Long high-temperature life: 8000 hours at 125 °C provides predictable longevity for designs exposed to sustained elevated temperatures.
• Low ESR for efficient power delivery: 28 mΩ at 100 kHz minimizes loss and improves transient response in power rails and converters.
• High ripple-current capability: Rated ripple currents (1.1 A at 120 Hz, 2.2 A at 100 kHz) support demanding switching and power-conversion environments.
• AEC-Q200 qualification: Component-level qualification for automotive-grade reliability in mission-critical applications.
• Surface-mount, reflow-capable package: SMD radial-can design compatible with lead-free reflow up to 260 °C peak for modern assembly processes.
• RoHS compliant: Meets current RoHS directive requirements for environmentally restricted substances.
