PCZ1H680MCL1GS

The PCZ1H680MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a chip-style SMD package, designed for higher capacitance and extended high-temperature operation. It delivers low equivalent series resistance and high ripple current capability for demanding electronics.

Targeted for automotive and other high-temperature electronics, this part provides AEC‑Q200 qualification, RoHS compliance, lead‑free reflow compatibility (260°C peak), and an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 150°C for reliable performance in harsh thermal environments.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance  68 µF rated capacitance at 50 V with ±20% tolerance, polarized construction for DC decoupling and energy storage roles.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Current  ESR specified at 28 mΩ (100 kHz, 20°C) and ripple current capability of 1.5 A at 100 kHz (750 mA at 120 Hz) for efficient power conditioning and reduced losses.
• High-Temperature Endurance  Rated for operation from −55°C to +150°C with a long-life specification of 2000 hours at 150°C to maintain capacitance and ESR under thermal stress.
• Reliability & Qualification  AEC‑Q200 qualified and high reliability construction with ESR performance verified after endurance and low-temperature tests.
• SMD Packaging & Assembly  Chip-type, radial can SMD package with a surface-mount land size of 1.03 × 1.03 cm and compatible with lead‑free reflow soldering (260°C peak, up to two reflows).
• Regulatory Compliance  Compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for lead‑free manufacturing environments.
• Leakage Current Specification  Leakage current characterized per datasheet conditioning, with a spec of not more than 0.03CV after initial application of rated voltage (measurement conditions defined in the datasheet).

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics  Suitable for vehicle electronic modules where AEC‑Q200 qualification and operation at elevated temperatures are required.
• Surface-Mount Power Modules  Used on SMD assemblies that require lead‑free reflow compatibility and compact, high-capacitance decoupling.
• High-Temperature Electronics  Applicable in systems that must operate across −55°C to +150°C and where extended endurance at 150°C is necessary.

Unique Advantages

• High-Temperature Endurance:  2000 hours at 150°C endurance rating preserves capacitance and ESR in thermally demanding applications.
• Low Losses Under AC Stress:  28 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and high ripple current ratings reduce power dissipation in switching and power-supply circuits.
• AEC‑Q200 Qualification:  Provides a documented qualification path for automotive and other reliability-focused designs.
• Lead‑Free Reflow Compatibility:  Designed for lead‑free manufacturing processes with a 260°C peak reflow capability to integrate into standard SMT assembly flows.
• Compact SMD Footprint:  Chip-style radial can SMD package and defined land pattern (1.03 × 1.03 cm) enable dense PCB placement for space-constrained designs.
• Regulatory Compliance:  RoHS conformity supports use in lead‑free product builds and global regulatory environments.
