PCR1V680MCL1GS

The PCR1V680MCL1GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor offering 68 µF at 35 V in a compact φ8 × 7 mm can. It combines low ESR and high ripple-current capability with long-term high-temperature endurance, making it a strong choice for demanding power-management applications.

Designed for reliability in harsh environments, this part supports automotive-grade qualification (AEC‑Q200) and operates across −55 °C to +125 °C with a rated life of 4000 hours at 125 °C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 68 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 35 V and tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• Conductive Polymer Construction — Solid polymer electrolyte for stable performance and reduced ESR compared to traditional electrolytics.
• Low ESR — ESR of 44 mΩ measured at 20 °C, 100 kHz, supporting efficient power delivery and lower dissipation.
• High Ripple‑Current Handling — 600 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1.2 A at 100 kHz (high frequency) to support switching regulators and high‑speed power stages.
• High‑Temperature Endurance — 4000 hours rated life at 125 °C, with operating range from −55 °C to +125 °C.
• Tan δ (Loss) — tan δ = 0.08 (measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz), indicating low dielectric loss for decoupling and smoothing.
• Surface‑Mount Package — Compact radial can SMD (φ8 × 7 mm) optimized for automated PCB assembly; packaged in embossed carrier tape with moisture‑proof packing.
• Reflow Compatible — SMD type compliant with lead‑free reflow soldering up to a 260 °C peak per series specifications.
• AEC‑Q200 Qualified & RoHS Compliant — Meets AEC‑Q200 qualification and RoHS directive requirements for regulated markets.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power electronics — Low ESR and high ripple‑current capability make this capacitor suitable for DC‑DC converters, power rails, and other onboard power systems that require automotive qualification.
• Power supply decoupling and smoothing — 68 µF capacitance with 44 mΩ ESR supports transient absorption and stable voltage regulation in compact layouts.
• High-frequency switching circuits — Rated high‑frequency ripple current (1.2 A at 100 kHz) helps manage ripple and heat in switching regulators and converter outputs.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Rated for 1.2 A at 100 kHz and 600 mA at 120 Hz, enabling reliable operation in both high‑speed switching and low‑frequency environments.
• Low loss and low ESR: 44 mΩ ESR and tan δ of 0.08 reduce power dissipation and thermal stress in tight power budgets.
• Long high‑temperature life: 4000 hours at 125 °C supports designs that require extended endurance in elevated ambient conditions.
• Automotive grade confidence: AEC‑Q200 qualification aligns the part with automotive reliability expectations for critical systems.
• Compact SMD form factor: φ8 × 7 mm can with defined PCB land dimensions simplifies integration into space‑constrained boards and automated assembly.
• Manufacturing friendly packaging: Supplied in embossed carrier tape with moisture‑proof packing for stable handling and SMT line compatibility.
