Overview of UCD1A680MCL1GS – Chip-Type Low-Impedance SMD Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 68 µF / 10 V
The UCD1A680MCL1GS is a chip-type, low-impedance aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a compact surface-mount can. It provides 68 µF capacitance at 10 V with a capacitance tolerance of -20% to +20% and a measured dissipation factor (tanδ) of 0.19 at 20°C, 120 Hz.
Targeted for high-density surface-mount applications and automotive electronics, the UCD1A680MCL1GS combines low impedance (360 mΩ), high-frequency ripple handling (240 mA at 10 kHz), an extended temperature range of -55°C to 105°C, and AEC-Q200 qualification for demanding environments. Parts are supplied in embossed carrier tape for automated placement.
Key Features
- Electrical Performance 68 µF capacitance at 10 V with an impedance of 360 mΩ and tanδ of 0.19 (20°C, 120 Hz), suitable for decoupling and smoothing duties in compact power circuits.
- Ripple Handling Low-frequency ripple current 120 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 240 mA (10 kHz) to support both bulk and high-frequency noise filtering.
- Leakage and Stability Specified leakage current of 6.8 µA and capacitance tolerance of -20% to +20% for predictable behavior in long-term designs.
- Reliability and Endurance Life rating of 2000 hours at 105°C and AEC-Q200 qualification, providing defined endurance for temperature-stressed applications.
- Thermal Range Operating temperature from -55°C to 105°C to cover a broad range of environmental conditions.
- Package and Mounting Chip-type SMD can, size φ6.3 × 5.8L (L: 5.8 mm × D: 6.3 mm), surface-mount land size 6.6 × 6.6 mm, and embossed carrier taping for automated assembly.
- Standards RoHS compliant and AEC-Q200 rated per the supplied product data.
Typical Applications
- Automotive Electronics — Used for power filtering and decoupling in control modules where AEC-Q200-qualified components and extended temperature performance are required.
- Power Supply Decoupling — Low impedance and specified ripple currents make it suitable for smoothing and transient suppression in DC-DC converters and regulator outputs.
- High-Density SMD Assemblies — Compact chip-type can (φ6.3 × 5.8L) and embossed carrier tape packaging support automated placement on space-constrained PCBs.
- Embedded Control Modules — Provides stable capacitance and leakage characteristics for controller boards operating across a wide temperature range.
Unique Advantages
- Compact, surface-mount form factor — Small φ6.3 × 5.8L package reduces board area while remaining compatible with automated assembly.
- Low impedance for better transient response — 360 mΩ impedance and low tanδ help maintain voltage stability during switching events.
- High-frequency ripple capability — 240 mA at 10 kHz supports high-frequency decoupling needs in switching power circuits.
- Automotive-grade qualification — AEC-Q200 rating provides a clear, manufacturer-specified level of reliability for automotive designs.
- Wide operating temperature — -55°C to 105°C rating allows deployment in a broad set of environmental conditions.
- Defined endurance — 2000 hours at 105°C gives a measurable lifetime parameter for long-term thermal stress planning.
