PCM1V680MCL4GS

The PCM1V680MCL4GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor in a surface-mount radial can package. It delivers low ESR and high ripple-current capability in a compact φ6.3 × 8 mm SMD form factor, optimized for demanding temperature and reliability requirements.

This part is specified for automotive applications (AEC‑Q200) and for environments requiring wide operating temperature range and long endurance, providing designers with stable capacitance, low loss (tan δ), and controlled leakage across −55°C to 125°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 68 µF capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, rated for 35 V operation.
• Low Loss Factor — tan δ = 0.08 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz for predictable AC performance.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Handling — ESR 31 mΩ at 20°C/100 kHz, low-frequency ripple current 850 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 1.7 A at 100 kHz for efficient power filtering and reduced self-heating.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 71 µA after standard voltage application.
• Wide Temperature Range — Rated for −55°C to +125°C to support high-temperature operation.
• Endurance — 6000 hours at 125°C (φD = 6.3 mm) with defined limits for capacitance change, tan δ, ESR and leakage current after endurance testing.
• AEC‑Q200 Qualified — Meets AEC‑Q200 requirements for automotive electronic component qualification.
• SMD Package & Assembly — Chip-type radial can SMD (φ6.3 × 8 mm) supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing; compatible with lead‑free reflow conditions up to 260°C peak per datasheet guidance.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS requirements.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronic modules — Designed for use in automotive power electronics where AEC‑Q200 qualification and wide temperature range are required.
• Power rails and DC‑DC converters — Low ESR and high ripple-current ratings support smoothing and decoupling on compact power supplies.
• High-reliability industrial electronics — Suitable for applications that demand long endurance at elevated temperatures and controlled electrical characteristics.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple-current capability: 1.7 A at 100 kHz and 850 mA at 120 Hz enable effective handling of both HF and LF ripple, reducing voltage excursions on power rails.
• Low ESR (31 mΩ): Minimizes power loss and self-heating, improving efficiency in compact assemblies.
• Wide temperature and long endurance: −55°C to +125°C rating with 6000 hours endurance at 125°C for reliable operation in harsh environments.
• AEC‑Q200 qualification: Provides a path for use in automotive systems that require component-level qualification.
• SMD radial-can compact footprint: φ6.3 × 8 mm size with a defined surface-mount land size eases PCB layout for space-constrained designs.
• Reflow compatible: Specified for lead‑free reflow soldering up to 260°C peak, supporting modern assembly processes.
