Overview of UCM1E680MCL1GS – Chip-Type Low-Impedance Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 68 µF, 25 V
The UCM1E680MCL1GS is a surface-mount, chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor offering 68 µF capacitance at a 25 V rating. It combines a compact φ5 × 5.8 mm can-style SMD package with low impedance and controlled loss characteristics for demanding electronic assemblies.
Engineered for automated production and high-reliability environments, this part is RoHS compliant and AEC-Q200 qualified for automotive use, delivering specified performance across −55 °C to 105 °C with a 2000‑hour life at 105 °C.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Tolerance — 68 µF nominal with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20 °C, suitable where defined bulk capacitance is required.
- Rated Voltage — 25 V DC rating for mid-voltage power applications.
- Low Impedance — Specified impedance of 360 mΩ supports reduced voltage ripple in compact power circuits.
- Low Loss (tan δ) — tanδ = 0.14 measured at 120 Hz and 20 °C, indicating controlled dissipation for stable AC performance.
- Leakage Current — Typical leakage current 17 µA, supporting lower standby losses in powered systems.
- Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 120 mA at 120 Hz and 240 mA at 10 kHz for handling AC stress in power stages.
- Temperature & Lifetime — Operating range −55 °C to 105 °C with 2000 hours endurance at 105 °C (per product specification).
- Compact SMD Package — Case size φ5 × 5.8 mm (L: 5.8 × D: 5 mm) in a radial can-style SMD format with surface-mount land size L: 5.3 × W: 5.3 mm.
- Assembly-Friendly Packaging — Supplied on embossed carrier tape for automatic mounting machines.
- Compliance & Qualification — RoHS compliant and AEC‑Q200 qualified for applications requiring automotive-grade component qualification.
Typical Applications
- Automotive electronics — For use where an AEC‑Q200 qualified, 25 V, 68 µF SMD aluminum electrolytic capacitor is required in vehicle electronic modules.
- Power supply modules — Fits compact power modules that need low-impedance bulk capacitance and measurable ripple-current handling.
- Embedded control units — Suited to surface-mount assemblies produced by automated placement using embossed carrier tape.
- Industrial electronics — Applicable in industrial systems requiring wide operating temperature support (−55 °C to 105 °C) and defined high-temperature lifetime.
Unique Advantages
- AEC‑Q200 Qualification: Provides documented qualification for automotive-grade development and long-term reliability considerations.
