Applications
The EEEFC1C680AP is used as an output bulk capacitor in switching power supplies and DC-DC converters operating at 16 V rails, where its 68 µF capacitance smooths output voltage ripple during load transients. It is also suitable for bypassing and energy storage on PCB power rails in industrial control boards, set-top boxes, and LCD driver circuits requiring SMD mounting. Its 105°C, 1000-hour rating makes it a reliable choice for automotive-adjacent consumer electronics where elevated board temperatures are common.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the key electrical ratings of the EEEFC1C680AP capacitor?
The EEEFC1C680AP is rated for 68 µF capacitance at a 16 V DC working voltage, with a leakage current of only 0.0109 mA. It is a wet aluminum electrolytic type in the Panasonic FC SMD Series, sized at 8 mm diameter and 6.2 mm height, and rated for 1000 hours of operation at 105°C.
How does the 1000-hour, 105°C rating of EEEFC1C680AP compare to standard-grade capacitors?
Standard-grade aluminum electrolytic capacitors are often rated for 85°C and 1000 hours, which roughly halves with every 10°C increase. The EEEFC1C680AP's 105°C rating means it can sustain equivalent longevity at temperatures 20°C higher than 85°C-grade parts, or remain operational for tens of thousands of hours at typical 65°C PCB surface temperatures in switching power supply applications.
Is EEEFC1C680AP suitable as an output capacitor for a 12 V DC-DC converter?
Yes, since the EEEFC1C680AP is rated at 16 V DC, it provides a 33% derating margin above a 12 V rail, which is within the recommended 20–25% minimum derating for electrolytic capacitors in switching regulator outputs. The 68 µF value contributes to low output voltage ripple, and the SMD 8 mm can is compatible with standard automated PCB assembly pick-and-place processes.
What SMD footprint dimensions should a PCB designer use for the EEEFC1C680AP?
The EEEFC1C680AP measures 8 mm in diameter and 6.2 mm in height, requiring a PCB pad pattern for an 8 mm cylindrical SMD electrolytic can. Designers should allow a minimum clearance of 1 mm around the component body on all sides and ensure the courtyard height clearance exceeds 6.2 mm plus tolerance, typically 7 mm, when placing adjacent components or designing enclosure fits.
