UKL1H6R8KDD

The UKL1H6R8KDD is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UKL series, engineered for low leakage current in a compact radial-lead can. It provides 6.8 µF capacitance at a 50 V rating in a small-package radial format targeted at audio and related electronic assemblies.

This part is RoHS compliant and designed with performance attributes useful to audio applications. Note: this product is scheduled to be discontinued and is not recommended for use in new designs.

Key Features

• Electrolytic Core – Low Leakage Built as part of Nichicon’s UKL low-leakage series; datasheet specifies a leakage limit defined by the standard 0.002CV (µA) condition under rated-voltage test procedures.
• Electrical Specification 6.8 µF nominal capacitance at a 50 V rated voltage with polarization and a capacitance tolerance of -20% to +20%.
• Package and Mounting Radial lead can package with 2 mm lead spacing for through-hole mounting; physical size L: 1.1 × D: 0.5 cm and radial can configuration.
• Ripple Current Performance Rated ripple currents of 55 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 110 mA at 10 kHz (high frequency) to support power-rail filtering in audio circuits.
• Temperature and Lifetime Operating range of -40 °C to +85 °C with an endurance specification of 2000 hours at 85 °C.
• Environmental Compliance Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Audio circuitry — Filtering, coupling and decoupling in audio signal and power stages where low leakage and defined ripple handling are required.

Unique Advantages

• Low leakage behavior: Designed within the UKL low-leakage family to minimize DC leakage, helping preserve biasing and reduce idle current in sensitive audio circuits.
• Compact radial form factor: Small can dimensions and 2 mm lead spacing make the part suitable for tight through-hole layouts and space-constrained assemblies.
• Defined ripple capability: Published ripple current ratings at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz let designers account for heating and lifetime in both low- and high-frequency power conditions.
• Temperature-rated endurance: Specified to operate from -40 °C to +85 °C with a 2000-hour life at 85 °C, enabling predictable behavior in typical commercial environments.
• Regulatory conformity: RoHS compliance supports use in equipment that requires lead-free/Restricted Substances compliance.

Why Choose UKL1H6R8KDD?

UKL1H6R8KDD delivers a focused combination of low leakage performance, compact radial-can packaging, and defined ripple and endurance specifications—attributes that matter in audio and related electronic assemblies where leakage and thermal behavior affect circuit performance. Its small footprint and through-hole leads simplify replacement and retrofit into existing board layouts.

Please note the product is scheduled for discontinuation and is not recommended for new designs; it remains a viable option for maintenance, repair, or where the specific UKL-series characteristics are required.
