UCS2V680MHD

The UCS2V680MHD is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UCS series. It is a radial-lead, polarized capacitor specified at 68 µF with a rated voltage of 350 V and ±20% tolerance.

Designed for general-purpose power electronics and ballast/power-supply applications, this part offers long operational life and high ripple-current capability in a compact φ16 × 25 mm package with 7.5 mm lead spacing.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 68 µF nominal capacitance with a 350 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance for stable energy storage in higher-voltage designs.
• High Reliability, Long Life — Rated for 10,000 hours at +105°C (endurance), supporting sustained operation under elevated temperature and bias conditions.
• Ripple Current Performance — High ripple capability with 700 mA at 120 Hz and 1.4 A at 100 kHz to handle switching and smoothing duties in power supplies.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage of 1,052 µA (after 1 minute at 20°C) for predictable standby and loss characteristics.
• Mechanical & Mounting — Radial-lead, can-style package (φ16 × 25 mm) with 7.5 mm lead spacing for through-hole mounting and straightforward PCB assembly.
• Operating Range & Compliance — Operating temperature range from −40°C to +105°C; RoHS compliant.
• Supply & Packaging — Available in bulk/bag packing and listed as mass production status for volume designs.

Typical Applications

• Power Supplies — Bulk energy storage and output smoothing in switch-mode and linear power supplies, leveraging the 350 V rating and high ripple capability.
• Ballasts and Lighting Electronics — DC-link and filtering functions in ballast circuits where long life at elevated temperature is required.
• Industrial Power Electronics — General-purpose decoupling and energy buffering in industrial control systems operating across −40°C to +105°C.

Unique Advantages

• Extended Operational Lifetime: 10,000-hour endurance at 105°C provides predictable aging for long-term designs.
• High Ripple Handling: Rated ripple currents (700 mA @120 Hz, 1.4 A @100 kHz) reduce thermal stress in smoothing and DC-link applications.
• Compact Through-Hole Form Factor: φ16 × 25 mm radial-can package with 7.5 mm lead spacing saves PCB space while remaining easy to assemble.
• Wide Temperature Range: −40°C to +105°C operation supports harsh-environment and industrial applications.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports regulatory requirements for electronic product assemblies.
• Production-Ready Packaging: Bulk/bag packing and mass production availability simplify procurement for volume programs.
