UKL1C680MED

The UKL1C680MED is a low-leakage aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a compact radial lead can designed for audio applications. It provides 68 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating with radial lead mounting and a small diameter case (φ6.3 × 11 mm), making it suitable for space-constrained assemblies.

Key value comes from its low leakage performance and frequency-capable ripple handling: specified leakage current of 2.176 µA and ripple current ratings of 160 mA (120 Hz) and 320 mA (10 kHz). The device is RoHS compliant and rated for operation from −40 °C to +85 °C with a 2000-hour endurance at 85 °C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 68 µF nominal capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable for moderate-voltage audio circuits.
• Low Leakage Performance — Specified leakage current of 2.176 µA at rated conditions, supporting low-bias-loss requirements.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 160 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 320 mA (10 kHz), providing frequency-aware smoothing performance.
• Compact Radial Lead Package — Radial lead, can-style package with case size φ6.3 × 11 mm and 2.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), for through-hole or hand-assembly mounting.
• Temperature and Endurance — Operating range −40 °C to +85 °C and 2000 hours life at 85 °C for sustained thermal reliability within spec limits.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant, meeting contemporary material-restriction requirements.

Typical Applications

• Audio equipment — Suitable for use in audio systems requiring a low-leakage electrolytic capacitor in a compact radial package.
• Audio electronics modules — Appropriate for assemblies where 68 µF/16 V bulk or decoupling capacitance is needed in audio-focused circuits.
• Consumer audio products — Designed for placement in consumer-level audio designs that require RoHS-compliant, through-hole electrolytic capacitors.

Unique Advantages

• Low quiescent leakage: Leakage current specified at 2.176 µA minimizes DC loss and drift in biased audio circuits.
• Frequency-aware ripple handling: Specified ripple current values at 120 Hz and 10 kHz support both low- and high-frequency smoothing needs.
• Space-efficient radial form factor: Small φ6.3 × 11 mm can and 2.5 mm lead spacing make it easy to integrate into compact PCBs and through-hole layouts.
• Wide operating temperature: −40 °C to +85 °C rating allows deployment across common environmental conditions for audio equipment.
• Durability backed by endurance rating: 2000 hours at 85 °C provides an established baseline for lifecycle planning in thermal-stressed applications.
• RoHS compliance: Meets material-restriction requirements for modern electronics manufacturing and supply chains.
