UKL1J680MPD

The UKL1J680MPD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UKL series, offering 68 µF capacitance at a 63 V rating in a φ10 × 16 mm can. Designed for applications that require low leakage and reliable decoupling in compact through-hole assemblies, it is especially suited to audio and general-purpose power filtering tasks.

As a low-leakage, polarized radial-lead capacitor, the UKL1J680MPD provides a balance of capacitance, voltage handling and compact packaging for engineers designing space-conscious analog and power circuits operating across a –40°C to 85°C range.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage – 68 µF rated capacitance at 63 V, offering energy storage and smoothing for mid-voltage rails.
• Low Leakage Current – Part of Nichicon’s UKL low leakage series; for φ10 × 16 case sizes the series specifies leakage current not more than 0.002CV (µA) after 2 minutes at 20°C.
• Compact Radial Can Package – φ10 × 16 mm case with 5 mm lead spacing and radial lead mounting for straightforward through-hole assembly and secure mechanical retention.
• Temperature & Lifetime – Rated operating range –40°C to +85°C with a specified life of 2000 hours at 85°C when subjected to rated voltage conditions.
• Ripple Handling – Specified ripple currents of 270 mA at 120 Hz and 540 mA at 10 kHz support AC ripple and decoupling tasks across common frequencies.
• Tolerance & Polarization – Capacitance tolerance ±20% and polarized construction for correct orientation in DC circuits.
• RoHS Compliant – Compliant with RoHS requirements as referenced for the UKL series.

Typical Applications

• Audio Circuits – Bulk decoupling and power supply smoothing in audio preamps and amplifiers where low leakage helps preserve biasing and minimize hum.
• Power Filtering – Local reservoir and ripple suppression on mid-voltage rails in consumer and industrial electronics.
• Analog Signal Conditioning – Coupling and timing applications where stable leakage and defined capacitance tolerance are required.

Unique Advantages

• Low Leakage Performance: The UKL series leakage specification (≤0.002CV µA for φ10×16 after 2 minutes at 20°C) reduces DC offset drift and helps maintain circuit bias points over time.
• Compact Footprint: φ10 × 16 mm can and 5 mm lead spacing deliver significant capacitance in a small radial-lead package, aiding dense PCB layouts.
• Frequency-Qualified Ripple Handling: Defined ripple current specs at 120 Hz and 10 kHz support filtering across both low- and high-frequency ripple components.
• Robust Operating Range: Rated for –40°C to +85°C with a 2000-hour life at 85°C, providing predictable behavior in typical commercial temperature environments.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports lead-free manufacturing and regulatory alignment in many regions.
