UCM1C680MCL1GS

The UCM1C680MCL1GS is a chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for surface-mount assembly. It delivers 68 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating with low impedance characteristics and is supplied in embossed carrier taping for automated placement.

Targeted for demanding environments, this AEC-Q200-qualified part supports an operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C, a rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 105°C, and measurable low- and high-frequency ripple current capability for robust power filtering and decoupling on 16 V rails.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 68 µF nominal capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable for bulk decoupling on low-voltage power rails.
• Low Impedance Performance — Specified impedance of 360 mΩ and tanδ of 0.16 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz), enabling effective smoothing and transient handling.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 120 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 240 mA (10 kHz) for mixed-frequency power systems.
• Leakage & Endurance — Low leakage current (10.88 µA) and rated endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C, supporting long-term stable operation under elevated temperature stress.
• Automotive-Grade Reliability — AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance indicate suitability for automotive electronics where component qualification is required.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package — Chip-style can SMD package with dimensions φ5 × 5.8L and surface mount land size 5.3 × 5.3 mm, supplied on embossed carrier tape for automated assembly.

Typical Applications

• Automotive control modules — Bulk decoupling and smoothing on 16 V power rails for ECUs and control units where AEC-Q200-qualified components are required.
• Infotainment and telematics — Power supply filtering to stabilize audio and communication subsystems operating from vehicle power lines.
• Sensors and actuators — Local energy storage and transient suppression for sensor electronics and actuator drivers in harsh temperature conditions.

Unique Advantages

• AEC-Q200 qualified: Provides a qualification baseline required for many automotive electronic designs.
• Wide operating temperature: Rated from -55°C to 105°C to maintain performance across typical automotive temperature extremes.
• Compact SMD form factor: φ5 × 5.8L chip package and embossed carrier taping simplify placement and save PCB area.
• Measured ripple handling: Defined low- and high-frequency ripple current ratings (120 mA and 240 mA) for reliable mixed-frequency performance.
• Long endurance at high temperature: 2000 hours at 105°C supports extended operational life in thermally stressed applications.
• Low leakage and low loss: 10.88 µA leakage current and tanδ = 0.16 (120 Hz, 20°C) for efficient energy storage and minimal parasitic loss.
