UCY2V680MHD6

The UCY2V680MHD6 is a miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon's UCY series, designed for high ripple current and long-life operation. It is a polarized, radial-lead can capacitor specified for 68 µF at 350 V, intended for demanding power applications and systems requiring robust performance over extended high-temperature lifetimes.

Engineered for environments that require AEC‑Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance, this capacitor targets power supply and ballast use cases as well as automotive electronic systems that demand stable capacitance, elevated ripple handling and sustained reliability at up to +105°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — Rated 68 µF capacitance at 350 V to support energy storage and smoothing in medium‑ and high‑voltage power circuits.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple performance of 690 mA at 120 Hz and 1.38 A at 100 kHz, enabling effective filtering under AC and switched‑mode conditions.
• High Reliability & Long Life — Designed for 10,000 hours operation at +105°C, delivering endurance for prolonged high‑temperature use.
• Temperature Range — Operating range from −40°C to +105°C for stable performance across wide ambient conditions.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, can-style package with 7.5 mm lead spacing and compact dimensions (approx. L: 2.0 cm × D: 1.8 cm) for through‑hole PCB mounting.
• Precision & Polarity — Polarized capacitor with capacitance tolerance of ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Compliance & Qualification — AEC‑Q200 rated and RoHS compliant, meeting requirements for regulated and automotive applications.

Typical Applications

• Power Supplies — Filtering and energy storage in AC/DC and DC/DC converters where high ripple handling and long life are required.
• Ballasts — Support for ballast circuits, leveraging the UCY2V680MHD6’s high ripple current capability and thermal endurance.
• Automotive Electronic Systems — Use in automotive power electronics and control modules where AEC‑Q200 qualification and wide operating temperature range are needed.
• High‑Temperature Environments — Applications that require sustained performance at elevated ambient temperatures up to +105°C and extended operational lifetimes.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies (690 mA at 120 Hz; 1.38 A at 100 kHz) reduce heating and improve smoothing in switching applications.
• Extended operational life: Rated for 10,000 hours at +105°C, providing designers with predictable longevity in thermally demanding installations.
• Automotive‑grade qualification: AEC‑Q200 rating supports selection for automotive and similarly rigorous environments.
• Compact radial‑lead form factor: Small can dimensions and 7.5 mm lead spacing enable space‑conscious through‑hole designs without sacrificing ripple capability.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant construction aligns with environmental and regulatory requirements.
