Overview of PCR1D681MCL1GS – 680 µF, 20 V Conductive-Polymer Aluminum SMD Capacitor
The PCR1D681MCL1GS is a high-reliability conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in an SMD can package. It combines low ESR and high ripple-current capability with a long endurance rating to support demanding thermal and power environments.
Designed for automotive and other high-reliability electronic systems, the device delivers stable capacitance across a wide temperature range and is qualified to AEC-Q200 with RoHS-compliant materials and lead-free reflow compatibility up to 260°C peak.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 680 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 20 V and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
- Conductive-Polymer Construction — Solid electrolyte design for low ESR and improved ripple-current handling compared with traditional liquid-electrolyte types.
- Low ESR & High Ripple Current — ESR of 14 mΩ measured at 100 kHz (20°C), with ripple-current ratings of 4.2 A at 100 kHz and 2.1 A at 120 Hz, enabling effective decoupling and power-conditioning in high-frequency circuits.
- Wide Temperature Range — Specified to operate from −55°C to +125°C, with ESR and impedance stability across temperature extremes as specified.
- Long Endurance — Rated for 4000 hours at 125°C with defined limits on capacitance change, tan δ, ESR, and leakage current after endurance testing.
- SMD, Lead‑Free Reflow Compatible — Surface-mount can package compatible with lead‑free reflow soldering conditions up to 260°C peak per the product specification.
- Quality & Compliance — AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant.
Typical Applications
- Automotive electronics — Suited to automotive electronic modules where AEC‑Q200 qualification, high-temperature endurance (4000 h at 125°C), and low ESR are required for stable power delivery.
Unique Advantages
- High ripple handling: 4.2 A at 100 kHz and 2.1 A at 120 Hz ratings enable robust smoothing and decoupling in high-frequency power stages.
- Low ESR: 14 mΩ at 100 kHz reduces power loss and improves efficiency in DC–DC converters and power-conditioning circuits.
- Extended high-temperature life: 4000 hours at 125°C provides predictable long-term performance in thermally demanding designs.
- Automotive-grade qualification: AEC‑Q200 qualification supports usage in qualified automotive systems requiring documented component reliability.
- Lead‑free reflow compatibility: SMD construction and compliance with 260°C peak lead‑free reflow simplify assembly in modern surface-mount production flows.
