UBX1K680MPL

The UBX1K680MPL from Nichicon is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the UBX series designed for radial-lead mounting. It delivers 68 µF at 80 V in a compact φ10 × 20 mm can, with electrical and mechanical characteristics targeted at demanding high-temperature environments.

Built for applications where extended high-temperature performance and robustness are required, this AEC-Q200-rated device is suitable for automotive electronics and other heavy-duty applications that require stable capacitance, controlled dissipation, and defined ripple-current capability.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 68 µF with a tolerance of −20% to +20% at 120 Hz, 20 °C.
• Rated Voltage — 80 V rating suitable for mid-voltage power systems.
• High Temperature Range — Operating temperature range from −55 °C to +150 °C with a specified endurance of 1000 hours at 150 °C.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 462.3 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 690 mA (100 kHz) to support power smoothing and decoupling under varying spectral loads.
• Low Dissipation Factor — tan δ (DF) = 0.08 at 20 °C, 120 Hz, supporting lower AC loss in the rated condition.
• Leakage Current — Typical leakage current 163.2 µA after rated-voltage application (per product data).
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, can-style package: φ10 × 20 mm with 5.0 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), suitable for through-hole assemblies.
• Automotive-Grade Reliability — AEC-Q200 rated and described in the UBX series datasheet as suited for automobile electronics and heavy-duty services.
• Packaging — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) and bag packing for board-assembly workflows.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Suited for control modules and on-board power functions where heavy-duty service and high-temperature operation are required.
• High-temperature power assemblies — Designed for use in environments up to +150 °C with a defined 1000-hour endurance at that temperature.
• Long-life systems — Appropriate for electronics demanding extended high-temperature endurance and stable electrical performance over time.

Unique Advantages

• High-temperature endurance: Rated for −55 °C to +150 °C with a 1000-hour life at 150 °C, enabling use in thermally demanding environments.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 rating and UBX series guidance specifically note suitability for automobile electronics and heavy-duty applications.
• Compact radial package: φ10 × 20 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing provides a small footprint for through-hole designs while maintaining required capacitance.
• Defined ripple performance: Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies (462.3 mA at 120 Hz; 690 mA at 100 kHz) support real-world power filtering requirements across frequency ranges.
• Low dissipation factor: tan δ = 0.08 at 20 °C, 120 Hz for reduced AC loss under rated conditions.
• Supply flexibility: Available in bulk and bag packing to match assembly and procurement preferences.
