Overview of UKL1A680MED – Low Leakage Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 68 µF, 10 V, Radial Lead
The UKL1A680MED is a low leakage aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can, offering 68 µF capacitance at a 10 V rating. Its compact φ6.3 × 11 mm footprint and radial-lead package make it suitable for space-constrained audio circuitry and related consumer electronics.
Key electrical characteristics include low leakage current (1.36 µA), defined ripple current capability at low and high frequencies (150 mA at 120 Hz and 300 mA at 10 kHz), and an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 85 °C. Status: End Of Life.
Key Features
- Low Leakage Current — Measured leakage current of 1.36 µA supports stable bias conditions in sensitive circuits.
- Capacitance & Tolerance — 68 µF with ±20% tolerance for bulk decoupling and energy storage in low-voltage audio rails.
- Rated Voltage — 10 V working voltage suited for low-voltage analog and audio applications.
- Ripple Current Performance — 150 mA at 120 Hz and 300 mA at 10 kHz enable effective smoothing and filtering across low and high frequency ranges.
- Thermal Endurance — 2000 hours life at 85 °C and operating range of −40 °C to 85 °C for reliable operation within specified environments.
- Compact Radial Package — φ6.3 × 11 mm can with 2.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) for through-hole mounting and compact PCB layouts.
- RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS requirements for environmental compliance.
- Packaging Options — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to suit different assembly workflows.
Typical Applications
- Audio circuits — Designed for audio applications where low leakage and defined ripple handling are important for signal integrity and power rail stability.
- Compact consumer audio equipment — Small φ6.3 × 11 mm can and radial leads allow use in space-limited portable or tabletop audio devices.
- Power decoupling in low-voltage analog stages — 68 µF at 10 V provides local energy storage and smoothing for low-voltage analog and audio circuitry.
Unique Advantages
- Low leakage for sensitive circuits — The 1.36 µA leakage current reduces bias drift and preserves performance in precision analog and audio stages.
- Dual-frequency ripple capability — Rated ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz support effective filtering across typical audio and switching frequencies.
- Compact, easy-to-mount format — Small radial-can package with 2.5 mm lead spacing simplifies layout in dense PCB designs.
- Proven thermal endurance — 2000-hour rating at 85 °C provides predictable lifetime behavior for designs operating within this temperature range.
- Regulatory compliance — RoHS compliance supports environmental and regulatory requirements for product deployment.
- Flexible packing — Bulk or bag packing options help accommodate different assembly and inventory processes.
