UKL2A6R8MED

The UKL2A6R8MED is a Nichicon aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the UKL low-leakage series, supplied in a radial-lead can (φ6.3×11L) with 2.5 mm lead spacing. It provides 6.8 µF capacitance at a 100 V rating and is optimized for applications where low leakage and stable performance over temperature are important.

Key electrical characteristics include a low leakage current of 1.36 µA, low-frequency ripple handling of 65 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple handling of 130 mA (10 kHz). The part is RoHS compliant and has an endurance specification of 2000 hours at 85°C. Status: End Of Life (products are scheduled to be discontinued and are not recommended for new designs).

Key Features

• Low Leakage Current Measured leakage current of 1.36 µA supports circuits that require low DC leakage and stable bias conditions.
• Voltage Capability 100 V rated voltage suitable for higher-voltage audio and power circuits where elevated DC voltage headroom is needed.
• Targeted Ripple Performance 65 mA ripple at 120 Hz and 130 mA ripple at 10 kHz provide clear guidance for low- and high-frequency ripple handling in the intended operating range.
• Thermal Endurance Lifetime rating of 2000 hours at 85°C indicates the component’s endurance under elevated operating temperature conditions.
• Temperature Range Operating range from −40°C to 85°C for compatibility with a variety of environmental conditions.
• Compact Radial Can Package Small footprint (φ6.3 × 11 mm) with 2.5 mm lead spacing for through-hole mounting and straightforward PCB placement; available in bulk or bag packing.
• RoHS Compliant Meets RoHS requirements for restricted substances.

Typical Applications

• Audio equipment — Designed for audio circuits where low leakage and stable capacitance support signal integrity and biasing in preamplifiers and analog stages.
• Power supply filtering — Used for decoupling and smoothing in higher-voltage, low-current power supplies within audio and auxiliary electronics.
• Signal coupling and biasing — Suitable where low leakage helps preserve DC bias and maintain circuit performance over time and temperature.

Unique Advantages

• Preserves circuit bias: Low leakage current (1.36 µA) minimizes DC drift and leakage-related performance degradation in sensitive circuits.
• High voltage margin: 100 V rating provides extra headroom for higher-voltage designs without increasing capacitance size.
• Frequency-aware ripple specs: Specified ripple current at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz helps designers assess suitability across low- and high-frequency noise environments.
• Compact radial form factor: φ6.3×11 mm package and 2.5 mm lead spacing enable space-conscious through-hole layouts and simple assembly.
• Durability at elevated temperature: 2000-hour endurance at 85°C supports lifecycle planning in thermally demanding applications.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance facilitates use in designs that require restricted-substance adherence.
