UCA2V680MHD

The UCA2V680MHD is a miniature-sized, high ripple current, long-life aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UCA series. It delivers 68 µF at a 350 V rating in a radial-lead can package optimized for high-voltage, through-hole designs.

Designed for power supply and ballast applications, this polarized capacitor offers long endurance — 12000 hours at 105°C — and a wide operating temperature range of −25°C to 105°C, making it suitable where high ripple handling and extended life are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 68 µF nominal capacitance with a 350 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable for high-voltage smoothing and energy storage.
• High Ripple Current Capability: Rated ripple current of 550 mA at 120 Hz and 1.1 A at 100 kHz, supporting demanding AC ripple environments.
• Long Operational Life: Endurance rated at 12000 hours at 105°C, providing extended service life under elevated temperature stress.
• Thermal Range: Operating temperature from −25°C to 105°C to support a broad range of ambient conditions.
• Electrical Loss and Leakage: Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) up to 0.20 and a specified leakage current of 1052 µA, enabling designers to account for dissipation and standby losses.
• Radial Lead, Polarized Can: 7.5 mm lead spacing and can-style radial package for straightforward through-hole mounting and robust mechanical retention.
• Compact Footprint: Size L: 3.05 × D: 1.6 cm for applications where board space is constrained but high-voltage capacitance is required.
• RoHS Compliant: Conforms to RoHS requirements as indicated in the product specifications.

Typical Applications

• Power Supplies — Use in high-voltage power supply circuits for ripple handling and bulk energy storage at elevated voltages.
• Ballasts — Suitable for ballast circuitry where high-voltage, high-ripple endurance is needed.
• General-Purpose High-Voltage Circuits — Through-hole designs requiring polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitance with long life and compact size.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Specified ripple currents at both low (120 Hz) and high (100 kHz) frequencies allow reliable performance across common power and switching domains.
• Extended high-temperature life: 12000-hour endurance at 105°C reduces maintenance and replacement frequency in high-stress environments.
• Compact high-voltage solution: Provides 68 µF at 350 V in a miniature radial-can package to save board area in through-hole assemblies.
• Predictable electrical characteristics: Known tan δ (0.20) and defined leakage current simplify thermal and leakage budgeting in designs.
• RoHS compliance: Meets environmental requirements for regulated electronic assemblies.
• Through-hole reliability: Radial lead configuration and can package support strong mechanical mounting for industrial applications.
