UKL2A6R8KED

The UKL2A6R8KED from Nichicon is a radial-leaded aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the UKL series, rated 6.8 µF at 100 V. It combines low leakage characteristics and a compact φ6.3 × 11 mm can to serve space-constrained power and audio circuits that require a high-voltage polarized capacitor.

This part is specified for operation from −40°C to 85°C with a 2000-hour endurance at 85°C. Note: this part is currently listed as End Of Life.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage: 6.8 µF rated capacitance at 100 V for higher-voltage circuit requirements.
• Low Leakage: Measured leakage current of 1.36 µA, supporting applications that benefit from minimal DC loss.
• Low Loss (tan δ): Dissipation factor (tan δ) of 0.07 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, enabling stable performance in AC and audio-frequency environments.
• Ripple Current Capability: Rated low-frequency ripple current of 65 mA at 120 Hz and 130 mA at 10 kHz, suitable for smoothing and decoupling tasks across frequency ranges.
• Form Factor: Radial lead package in a φ6.3 × 11 mm can with 2.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), designed for through-hole mounting and compact PCB footprints.
• Reliability: Endurance specified as 2000 hours at 85°C, providing a defined life expectation for thermal-stressed designs.
• Compliance: RoHS compliant.
• Packaging Options: Available as Bulk (No Terminal Forming) and Bag Packing.

Typical Applications

• Audio circuits: Decoupling, coupling and power supply smoothing in audio signal paths where low leakage and low dissipation factor are beneficial.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability: 100 V rating allows use in higher-voltage bias circuits without changing form factor.
• Compact radial package: φ6.3 × 11 mm can with short lead spacing supports tight PCB layouts and through-hole assembly.
• Measured low leakage: 1.36 µA leakage current reduces DC loss and helps maintain bias stability over time.
• Frequency-aware ripple performance: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz give predictable behavior across audio and higher-frequency domains.
• Defined endurance: 2000 hours at 85°C provides a clear reliability metric for thermal lifetime planning.

Why Choose UKL2A6R8KED?
