Overview of PCV1D680MCL1GS – Surface Mount Conductive Polymer Aluminum Capacitor, 68 µF, 20 V
The PCV1D680MCL1GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor offering 68 µF capacitance at a 20 V rating. It combines low equivalent series resistance and high ripple-current capability with long-term endurance for demanding environments.
Designed for automotive and other high-reliability electronics, this SMD can withstand a wide temperature range and extended elevated-temperature operation while supporting industry-standard reflow soldering and RoHS compliance.
Key Features
- Core Technology: Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic construction for stable capacitance and low ESR.
- Capacitance & Voltage: 68 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 20 V and tolerance of −20% to +20%.
- Low ESR & High Ripple Handling: ESR of 45 mΩ (measured at 100 kHz, 20°C) with high-frequency ripple current of 1.3 A at 100 kHz and low-frequency ripple current of 650 mA at 120 Hz.
- Temperature & Lifetime: Rated for −55°C to +105°C operation with a load life of 3000 hours at 105°C.
- Package & Mounting: Surface-mount radial can (φ8 × 7 mm) in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for automated assembly.
- Qualification & Compliance: AEC-Q200 rating and RoHS compliant as specified in the product data.
- Soldering Robustness: Compatible with lead-free reflow soldering conditions (peak correspondence to 260°C as specified for the series).
Typical Applications
- Automotive electronics: AEC-Q200-rated SMD capacitor suitable for automotive electronic modules that require extended temperature operation and long life.
- Power smoothing in vehicle subsystems: Low ESR and high ripple-current capability support local energy storage and smoothing in 20 V circuitry.
- High-reliability modules: 3000-hour endurance at 105°C and RoHS compliance make it appropriate for long-life, high-stress environments.
Unique Advantages
- Low ESR for improved transient response: 45 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz helps reduce voltage ripple and improve performance in high-frequency power circuits.
- High ripple-current capability: 1.3 A at 100 kHz and 650 mA at 120 Hz allow the capacitor to handle both high-frequency switching and lower-frequency disturbances.
- Extended high-temperature life: 3000 hours at 105°C enables use in designs requiring prolonged elevated-temperature operation.
- Automotive-ready qualification: AEC-Q200 rating supports usage in vehicle electronics and other applications where that qualification is required.
- Surface-mount convenience: Compact φ8 × 7 mm SMD can with embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing facilitates automated placement and inventory handling.
- Lead-free reflow compatibility: Designed for lead-free reflow soldering conditions as specified for the series, aiding modern assembly processes.
