UCY2V680MHD

The UCY2V680MHD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UCY series, offering 68 µF capacitance with a 350 V rating. It is designed for applications that require high ripple current handling and long operational life, with specific suitability for power supply and ballast applications.

Packaged in a compact radial can (φ12.5×35.5L) with 5 mm lead spacing, this polarized capacitor is built to operate across a wide temperature range and to meet demanding endurance requirements for reliable performance.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 68 µF nominal with tolerance of −20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Rated Voltage — 350 V DC rating for high-voltage smoothing and filtering tasks.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 695 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 1.39 A at 100 kHz, supporting aggressive ripple-handling requirements.
• Long Endurance — Rated life of 12,000 hours at 105°C under rated conditions, providing extended service life in thermally demanding environments.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Specified for −40°C to +105°C operation to cover a broad set of system environments.
• Loss Tangent (tan δ) — tanδ = 0.24 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz), indicating controlled dissipation characteristics at the rated voltage.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1,052 µA.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, can-style package with lead spacing 5 mm; available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
• AEC-Q200 Qualified & RoHS Compliant — Series-level AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance for regulated markets and controlled materials.

Typical Applications

• Power supplies and ballasts — Smoothing, filtering and energy buffering where sustained ripple handling and thermal endurance are required.
• Automotive systems — Suitable for automotive applications (AEC-Q200 qualified) that demand high-voltage filtering and long-life performance.
• High-ripple circuits — Use where elevated ripple currents are present and reliable long-term operation is necessary.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for sustained high-temperature operation — 12,000-hour endurance at 105°C supports long service intervals and reduced maintenance.
• Broad temperature range — −40°C to +105°C rating enables deployment across a wide range of ambient conditions.
• High-voltage capability — 350 V rating provides headroom for high-voltage smoothing and filtering functions.
• Measured ripple performance — Explicit low- and high-frequency ripple current specifications (695 mA at 120 Hz; 1.39 A at 100 kHz) let engineers size parts confidently for real-world ripple loads.
• Series-level automotive qualification and materials compliance — AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance support regulated design requirements.
• Compact radial can format — φ12.5×35.5L radial package with 5 mm lead spacing simplifies through-hole mounting and layout planning.
