UKL1C680KED

The UKL1C680KED is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor offering 68 µF capacitance at a 16 V rated voltage. It combines a compact φ6.3 × 11 mm can with polarized radial leads and a 2.5 mm lead spacing for straightforward through-hole assembly.

Designed for audio applications, the part provides low leakage (2.176 µA), defined low- and high-frequency ripple current capability (160 mA at 120 Hz and 320 mA at 10 kHz), and a rated endurance of 2000 hours at 85 °C. The component is RoHS compliant and specified for operation from −40 °C to +85 °C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 68 µF nominal with ±10% tolerance, specified at 120 Hz, 20 °C.
• Rated Voltage — 16 V DC rating suitable for low-voltage audio and related circuits.
• Low Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 2.176 µA, enabling stable DC bias performance in signal and power paths.
• Ripple Current Performance — Low-frequency ripple current of 160 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency capability of 320 mA (10 kHz), supporting decoupling and smoothing in audio supply rails.
• Thermal Endurance — Rated for 2000 hours at 85 °C, with an operating temperature range of −40 °C to +85 °C.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, polarized can with dimensions φ6.3 × 11 mm and lead spacing 2.5 mm (±0.5 mm), available in bulk or bag packing.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.
• Product Status — Listed as End Of Life; the UKL series documentation notes the product is scheduled for discontinuation and the series is not recommended for new designs.

Typical Applications

• Audio — Suitable for audio circuit supply decoupling and smoothing where compact, low-leakage aluminum electrolytic capacitance is required.

Unique Advantages

• Compact radial package — φ6.3 × 11 mm can with 2.5 mm lead spacing minimizes board area while maintaining through-hole mounting simplicity.
• Low leakage — 2.176 µA leakage current preserves DC bias integrity in audio and signal-path applications.
• Frequency-flexible ripple handling — Defined ripple current figures at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz support filtering across audio-frequency and higher-frequency decoupling scenarios.
• Defined endurance — 2000-hour rating at 85 °C provides predictable life performance for deployed designs within the specified temperature range.
• RoHS compliance — Meets environmental requirements for lead-free assemblies.

Why Choose UKL1C680KED?
