PCV1V680MCL1GS

The PCV1V680MCL1GS is a conductive-polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor in a surface-mount radial can package. It provides 68 µF capacitance at a 35 V rating with low ESR and high ripple-current capability, designed for applications that require stable filtering and energy buffering in demanding environments.

Targeted for automotive and industrial designs, this AEC-Q200 qualified part combines long life (3000 h at 105°C), a wide operating temperature range (−55°C to 105°C), and RoHS compliance for reliable system-level performance.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 68 µF capacitance with a 35 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable for power-supply decoupling and bulk energy storage at this voltage level.
• Conductive Polymer Technology: Solid conductive polymer electrolyte for reduced ESR and improved high-frequency performance compared with conventional electrolytics.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Handling: ESR of 37 mΩ measured at 100 kHz (20°C) with ripple current ratings of 900 mA at 120 Hz and 1.8 A at 100 kHz, enabling effective smoothing under both low- and high-frequency ripple conditions.
• Leakage & Dissipation: Specified leakage current of 476 µA and tanδ (DF) of 0.12 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, for predictable loss and standby behavior.
• Long Life & Thermal Endurance: Endurance specified as 3000 hours at 105°C; rated operating temperature range from −55°C to +105°C for extended reliability in elevated-temperature applications.
• SMD Package & Handling: Chip-type radial can SMD (size φ10 × 8 mm) supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing; compatible with lead-free reflow soldering (260°C peak correspondence as per series specification).
• Quality & Compliance: AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, meeting automotive-grade qualification and environmental directive requirements listed for the PCV series.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Power Electronics — Filtering and bulk decoupling in ECUs and power modules where AEC-Q200 qualification, wide temperature range, and high ripple capability are required.
• DC–DC Converters — Output smoothing and energy buffering benefiting from low ESR (37 mΩ) and high-frequency ripple-current capability (1.8 A at 100 kHz).
• Industrial Control — Robust decoupling in harsh environments using the part’s long-life rating (3000 h at 105°C) and −55°C to +105°C operating range.

Unique Advantages

• Low-loss operation: Conductive polymer construction and a tanδ of 0.12 (20°C, 120 Hz) reduce dissipation and thermal rise in filtering applications.
• High ripple tolerance: Dual ripple-current specifications (900 mA at 120 Hz; 1.8 A at 100 kHz) enable reliable performance across both line-frequency and switching-frequency loads.
• Compact SMD can: φ10 × 8 mm package delivers 68 µF capacitance in a small footprint for space-constrained boards.
• Long operational life: 3000-hour rated endurance at 105°C supports designs targeted at extended duty cycles and elevated ambient temperatures.
• Automotive-grade assurance: AEC-Q200 qualification provides a verified level of robustness for vehicle electronics and related applications.
• RoHS compliant supply: Embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing and RoHS compliance support modern manufacturing and environmental requirements.
