PCR1K680MCL1GS

The PCR1K680MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor offered in an SMD can package. It combines high working voltage (80 V) with low ESR and high ripple-current capability for demanding power-filtering and decoupling tasks.

Designed for high-reliability applications, the part supports extended operation up to 125°C (4000 hours endurance), meets AEC‑Q200 qualification, and is RoHS compliant, making it suitable for automotive and industrial power electronics operating across a wide temperature range.

Key Features

• Electrical performance — 68 µF capacitance at 80 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance (120 Hz, 20°C); ESR specified at 28 mΩ (100 kHz, 20°C).
• High ripple-current capability — Rated ripple current of 1.05 A at 120 Hz and 2.1 A at 100 kHz supports effective filtering in switching power stages.
• Extended high-temperature life — 4000 hours endurance at 125°C with post-endurance limits: capacitance within ±20% and ESR ≤200% of initial value.
• Temperature range — Specified operating range from −55°C to +125°C with controlled impedance characteristics across temperature extremes.
• Reliability and qualification — AEC‑Q200 qualified and ESR verified after endurance at −40°C per datasheet requirements.
• Surface-mount package — Radial can SMD package (L: 1.27 × D: 1.00 cm) with recommended land size L: 1.03 × W: 1.03 cm for PCB layout.
• Lead-free reflow compatible — Compatible with lead‑free reflow soldering conditions up to a 260°C peak (pre‑heat and time‑above‑temperature limits per datasheet).
• Low leakage — Leakage current specified as not more than 0.03 CV after 2 minutes’ application of rated voltage (per datasheet conditioning).

Typical Applications

• Automotive power systems — AEC‑Q200 qualification and wide temperature range make it suitable for filtering and decoupling in automotive control units and power modules.
• DC–DC converters — Low ESR (28 mΩ at 100 kHz) and high ripple-current ratings support output smoothing and bulk decoupling on switching regulators.
• Industrial power electronics — Long high-temperature endurance (4000 hours at 125°C) and robust impedance stability enable reliable use in industrial converters and power supplies.
• Embedded and board-level power filtering — Compact SMD can package and reflow compatibility simplify assembly for space-constrained power-distribution networks.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability: 80 V rating allows use on higher-voltage rails without parallel parts or special derating.
• Low ESR and high ripple handling: 28 mΩ ESR and up to 2.1 A ripple at 100 kHz reduce losses and temperature rise in switching applications.
• Designed for high-temperature endurance: 4000 hours at 125°C provides predictable long-term performance in hot environments.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC‑Q200 status supports use in automotive designs that require component-level qualification.
• Reflow-ready SMD format: Lead-free reflow compatibility up to 260°C simplifies PCB assembly and supports modern manufacturing flows.
• Compact footprint: L: 1.27 × D: 1.00 cm package and defined land pattern help optimize board area for dense power layouts.
