Overview of PCV1H680MCL2GS – Conductive Polymer Aluminum Solid Electrolytic Capacitor, 68 µF, 50 V, SMD
The PCV1H680MCL2GS is a chip-type conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a surface-mount radial can package. It provides 68 µF capacitance at a 50 V rating with low ESR and high ripple-current capability, designed for demanding electronic power applications.
Targeted for automotive applications, the device combines wide operating temperature (-55 °C to 105 °C), AEC-Q200 qualification, and a long endurance rating of 3000 hours at 105 °C to deliver stable performance in harsh environments.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 68 µF capacitance with a rated voltage of 50 V and a capacitance tolerance of -20% to +20% (at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
- Low Loss (tan δ) — tan δ of 0.12 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz, supporting reliable AC performance under specified conditions.
- Low ESR & High Ripple Handling — ESR of 29 mΩ at 20 °C/100 kHz with rated ripple currents of 1.7 A (120 Hz) and 3.4 A (100 kHz) for improved filtering and transient handling.
- Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 680 µA after the conditioning period, enabling predictable bias behavior.
- Robust Thermal & Endurance Specs — Operating range from -55 °C to 105 °C and a load life of 3000 hours at 105 °C with defined limits on capacitance change, tan δ, ESR and leakage current after test.
- Automotive-Ready — AEC-Q200 qualified and explicitly specified for automotive applications.
- SMD Package & Footprint — Chip-type surface-mount radial can package with dimensions φ10 × 10 L (L: 1 × D: 1 cm) and recommended land size of 10.3 mm × 10.3 mm; supplied in embossed carrier tape with moisture-proof packing.
- RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive requirements.
Typical Applications
- Automotive control modules — Suitable for power decoupling and smoothing in modules that require AEC-Q200 qualification and extended temperature operation.
- DC–DC converters and power supplies — Low ESR (29 mΩ) and high ripple-current ratings (up to 3.4 A at 100 kHz) support efficient output filtering and transient handling.
- Power management in electronic systems — Long endurance (3000 hours at 105 °C) and stable impedance over temperature make it appropriate for continuous-duty power circuits.
Unique Advantages
- High ripple tolerance: Combines low ESR and specified ripple currents (1.7 A @120 Hz, 3.4 A @100 kHz) to reduce voltage ripple and improve regulator stability.
- Temperature and endurance stability: Rated for -55 °C to 105 °C with a 3000-hour life at 105 °C, providing predictable performance in thermally demanding environments.
- Automotive qualification: AEC-Q200 rating and explicit automotive application listing support use in vehicle electronic designs requiring industry-recognized reliability.
- Compact SMD form factor: Chip-type radial can SMD package (φ10 × 10 L) supplied in embossed carrier tape simplifies PCB placement and automated assembly.
- Controlled electrical characteristics: Specified tan δ, leakage current, and ESR values enable engineers to design with quantifiable electrical margins.
