Overview of PCV1C681MCL2GS – Conductive Polymer Aluminum Solid Electrolytic Capacitor, 16 V, 680 µF
The PCV1C681MCL2GS is a chip-type conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor offering 680 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating. It combines low ESR and high ripple-current capability in a compact SMD radial can package intended for demanding electronic systems.
Designed for long life and elevated-temperature operation, this part meets AEC-Q200 qualification, supports lead-free reflow up to a 260°C peak, and is RoHS compliant—making it suitable for automotive electronics and other systems that require durability, high ripple handling, and low loss.
Key Features
- Conductive polymer aluminum construction — Solid electrolyte technology for stable capacitance and low loss compared with traditional electrolytic types.
- Electrical rating — 680 µF nominal capacitance at 16 V with ±20% tolerance, providing bulk energy storage and decoupling for power rails.
- Low ESR and high ripple capability — 19 mΩ ESR measured at 100 kHz and ripple current ratings of 4.4 A at 100 kHz and 2.2 A at 120 Hz enable efficient handling of switching currents.
- High-temperature endurance — Rated for operation from −55°C to +105°C with a rated load life of 3000 hours at 105°C.
- SMD radial can package — Surface-mount design (L: 1.27 × D: 1.00 cm) with a specified land pattern (L: 1.03 × W: 1.03 cm) for compact PCB placement.
- Manufacturing and environmental — Lead-free reflow soldering compatible (260°C peak correspondence) and RoHS compliant.
- AEC-Q200 qualified — Engineered to meet automotive-grade qualification standards for applications requiring robust component-level reliability.
Typical Applications
- Automotive power electronics — Bulk decoupling and smoothing on 12 V and low-voltage rails where high ripple current and low ESR are required.
- Automotive control modules — Long-life energy storage for control and ECU power supplies operating in elevated-temperature environments (3000 h at 105°C).
- Automotive sensor and actuator systems — Supply stabilization and transient filtering across a −55°C to +105°C operating range for reliable electronic operation.
Unique Advantages
- High ripple-current handling: Low ESR (19 mΩ at 100 kHz) combined with specified ripple ratings supports demanding switching and power-conversion circuits.
- Proven high-temperature life: 3000 hours at 105°C provides design confidence for prolonged operation in hot environments.
- Automotive-grade reliability: AEC-Q200 qualification aligns the component with automotive electronics reliability expectations.
- Surface-mount convenience: SMD radial can package and defined land pattern enable straightforward PCB integration and automated assembly.
- Lead-free and RoHS compliant: Conforms to environmental directives for global manufacturing and regulatory needs.
