Overview of UCS2W680MNY9 – 450 V, 68 µF Radial Lead Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor (High Reliability)
The UCS2W680MNY9 is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial-lead can designed for high-voltage power applications. It delivers 68 µF at a 450 V rating with a compact φ12.5×50 mm package and is targeted at power supply and ballast applications where high ripple tolerance and long life at elevated temperature are required.
Engineered for robust performance, this radial-lead capacitor combines high ripple-current capability, a wide operating temperature range, and long endurance to support demanding industrial and power-electronics designs.
Key Features
- Capacitance and Voltage — 68 µF nominal capacitance with a 450 V rated voltage; capacitance tolerance is ±20% at 120 Hz, 20°C.
- High Ripple Current & Frequency Performance — Low-frequency ripple current of 670 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 1.34 A at 100 kHz enable effective filtering on high-voltage rails.
- Long Life Endurance — Rated for 10,000 hours at 105°C under specified bias and ripple conditions, supporting extended service life in high-temperature environments.
- Temperature Range — Operational from −40°C to +105°C to accommodate a wide range of industrial ambient conditions.
- Electrical Loss and Leakage — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) up to 0.24 (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C for 450 V); leakage current listed as 1,324 µA (after 1 minute at 20°C with rated voltage).
- Package and Mounting — Radial lead, can-style package with physical size φ12.5×50 mm and lead spacing 5.0 mm (lead spacing tolerance ±0.5 mm) for through-hole board mounting.
- Compliance and Packing — RoHS compliant; available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
Typical Applications
- High-voltage power supplies — Filtering and smoothing on 450 V rails where high ripple handling and long-term stability are needed.
- Ballast circuits — Designed specifically for ballast applications that require reliable performance under sustained ripple and temperature stress.
- General-purpose industrial power electronics — Energy filtering and decoupling in industrial control and power modules operating across −40°C to +105°C.
Unique Advantages
- High-voltage capability: 450 V rating enables use in elevated-voltage circuits without series stacking.
- Designed for sustained ripple: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 100 kHz support both low- and high-frequency filtering needs.
- Proven long-life performance: 10,000-hour endurance at 105°C provides predictable lifetime behavior in hot operating conditions.
- Compact radial package: φ12.5×50 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing offers a space-efficient through-hole solution for PCB-level power designs.
- Measured electrical characteristics: Specified tan δ and leakage current values allow accurate thermal and leakage budgeting in designs.
- RoHS compliant: Meets RoHS requirements for environmental compliance in contemporary systems.
