Overview of PCZ1E680MCL1GS – Conductive Polymer Aluminum Solid Electrolytic Capacitor
The PCZ1E680MCL1GS is a Nichicon conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a compact surface-mount can package. It delivers 68 µF at 25 V with low ESR and high ripple current capability, designed for electronics that require reliable performance across a wide temperature span.
Targeted for demanding environments, this AEC-Q200 qualified, RoHS-compliant part is suited for automotive and high-temperature electronics where sustained operation to 150°C and long endurance are required.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 68 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 25 V and ±20% tolerance, suitable for decoupling and bulk energy storage in compact designs.
- Low ESR & High Ripple Handling — ESR of 41 mΩ (at 20°C, 100 kHz) with ripple current ratings of 300 mA (120 Hz) and 600 mA (100 kHz), enabling improved thermal and electrical performance under AC stress.
- Wide Temperature Range — Specified to operate from −55°C to +150°C, supporting high-temperature applications and environments.
- Long Endurance — Rated life of 2000 hours at 150°C, with defined post-endurance limits for capacitance change, tan δ, and ESR.
- Surface-Mount Can Package — Compact φ8 × 7 mm (L: 7 × D: 8 mm) SMD can-style package with recommended land pattern 8.3 × 8.3 mm for space-constrained PCB layouts.
- Automotive-Grade Qualification — AEC-Q200 qualified, supporting use in automotive electronic modules and systems that require this level of component qualification.
- Manufacturing & Packaging — Designed for lead-free reflow soldering per manufacturer profile and supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing; part is in mass production.
- Low Leakage — Specified leakage current around 51 µA, suitable for circuits where controlled leakage is required.
Typical Applications
- Automotive Electronics — Use in engine control modules, body electronics, and power distribution circuits that require AEC-Q200-qualified components and high-temperature endurance.
- High-Temperature Power Modules — Decoupling and bulk storage on boards that operate continuously at elevated temperatures up to 150°C.
- Compact SMD Power Designs — Small can-style SMD fits high-density PCBs where low ESR and high ripple capability improve regulator stability and transient response.
Unique Advantages
- High-Temperature Endurance: 2000 hours at 150°C provides predictable performance retention in elevated-temperature environments.
- Improved Thermal and Electrical Efficiency: Low ESR (41 mΩ) combined with high ripple current ratings reduces self-heating and supports higher AC loads.
- Automotive-Grade Confidence: AEC-Q200 qualification offers designers an established quality baseline for automotive system use.
- Compact SMD Footprint: φ8 × 7 mm can package and defined land pattern support high-density PCB layouts without sacrificing performance.
- Production-Ready Packaging: Embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing streamline automated assembly and inventory handling.
- Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance ensures alignment with common environmental requirements.
