Overview of UCY2E680MHD3 – 250 V, 68 µF Radial Lead Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor (High Reliability)
The UCY2E680MHD3 is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial can package. It provides 68 µF capacitance at a 250 V rating and is designed for applications that require elevated ripple handling and long load life in compact form factors.
With AEC-Q200 qualification, a wide operating temperature range of −40°C to +105°C and a rated load life of 10,000 hours at +105°C, this polarized radial-lead unit targets demanding power-supply and automotive-electronics uses where durability and stable electrical performance matter.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 68 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 250 V and capacitance tolerance ±20% (120 Hz, 20°C).
- High ripple-current capability — Rated ripple current of 650 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1.3 A at 100 kHz (high frequency), with frequency coefficients that increase allowable ripple at higher frequencies.
- Low dissipation factor — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) max 0.20 at 120 Hz, 20°C, supporting efficient AC performance.
- Controlled leakage — Leakage current specified as 780 µA (consistent with datasheet leakage formula after 1 minute at 20°C).
- Long endurance — Load life rated 10,000 hours at +105°C with specified limits on capacitance change, dissipation factor, and leakage current after test.
- Compact radial package — 16 mm diameter × 20 mm length (φ16 × 20L) can with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), available in bulk or bag packing.
- Qualification & compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant for regulated markets.
Typical Applications
- Power supplies — Bulk and smoothing capacitor for DC power rails where high ripple current capability and long life at elevated temperature are required.
- Automotive electronics — Suitable for vehicle control modules and power-management circuits that benefit from AEC-Q200 qualification and operation to +105°C.
- Ballast and lighting drivers — Supports high ripple environments and continuous operation with endurance at high temperature.
- Industrial control — Energy storage and filtering in motor control and industrial power subsystems exposed to wide temperature ranges.
Unique Advantages
- High ripple endurance: Rated ripple currents (650 mA at 120 Hz, 1.3 A at 100 kHz) and frequency coefficients permit reliable AC loading across low- and high-frequency designs.
- Long-term stability under heat: 10,000-hour load life at +105°C preserves capacitance and dissipation characteristics for prolonged field operation.
- AEC-Q200 qualification: Provides an established reliability baseline for projects targeting automotive and other high-reliability markets.
- Compact radial form factor: φ16 × 20L can and 7.5 mm lead spacing deliver a small footprint for space-constrained assemblies while retaining robust electrical performance.
- Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity supports deployment in environments requiring restricted-substance compliance.
