UCL1C680MCL1GS

The UCL1C680MCL1GS from Nichicon is a chip‑type, low‑impedance aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a compact surface‑mount can. It delivers 68 µF at 16 V with specifications tuned for elevated operating temperatures and automated PCB assembly.

Designed for demanding embedded and automotive applications, the UCL1C680MCL1GS combines a small φ6.3 × 5.8 mm footprint with AEC‑Q200 qualification, engineered endurance at high temperature, and measurable ripple handling for power decoupling and smoothing tasks.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 68 µF nominal capacitance rated at 16 V with capacitance tolerance of ±20% (–20% to +20%).
• Low Impedance Chip Type — Chip‑type construction with nominal impedance of 260 mΩ, optimized for lower ESR in compact SMD packaging.
• Tangent of Loss Angle (tan δ) — tan δ 0.16 measured at 120 Hz, 20°C, providing an explicit loss specification for design calculations.
• Ripple Current Performance — Low‑frequency ripple current 150 mA (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current 300 mA (10 kHz), supporting both mains‑frequency and higher frequency filtering.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 10.88 µA for predictable bias behavior in power circuits.
• High‑Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation from –55°C to +105°C with endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Compact SMD Can — φ6.3 × 5.8 mm case (chip type) with surface mount land recommendation 6.6 × 6.6 mm, supplied in embossed carrier taping for automated placement.
• Qualification & Compliance — AEC‑Q200 qualified and declared compliant to the RoHS directive as noted in the product datasheet.
• Polarized Construction — Standard polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor for DC power applications.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — AEC‑Q200 qualification and wide operating temperature range make this part suitable for automotive control modules and embedded vehicle electronics where compact decoupling is required.
• Embedded Power Supplies — 68 µF at 16 V with defined ripple current ratings provides reliable smoothing and bulk decoupling on compact power rails.
• Industrial Control Modules — High temperature endurance (2000 h at 105°C) and low impedance help maintain stability in industrial and harsh‑environment control circuits.

Unique Advantages

• Compact footprint with high capacitance density: φ6.3 × 5.8 mm chip package delivers 68 µF in a space‑efficient SMD can for dense PCB layouts.
• Designed for automated assembly: Supplied in embossed carrier taping for reliable pick‑and‑place and reflow processes.
• Measured electricals for predictable design: Explicit specifications for impedance (260 mΩ), tan δ (0.16 at 120 Hz, 20°C), and leakage current (10.88 µA) enable accurate circuit modeling.
• Temperature and endurance performance: –55°C to +105°C rating with 2000 hours endurance at 105°C supports long‑lived operation in elevated temperature applications.
• Automotive‑grade qualification: AEC‑Q200 qualification provides an established reliability baseline for vehicle electronics designs.
