UPJ1V680MED

The UPJ1V680MED is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPJ series, designed for general-purpose and switching power supply applications. It delivers 68 µF capacitance at a 35 V rating in a compact φ6.3 × 15 mm package with 2.5 mm lead spacing.

Engineered for low impedance and reliable performance across a wide temperature range (−55 °C to +105 °C), this polarized through-hole capacitor is intended for compact power filtering, decoupling and energy-storage roles where stable ripple handling and low loss are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 68 µF nominal capacitance at a 35 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance (120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Low-loss characteristics — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) specified at 0.12 (20 °C, 120 Hz) to help minimize dissipation in filtering and decoupling applications.
• Ripple current capability — Low-frequency ripple current 117.3 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 230 mA (200 kHz), supporting dynamic load conditions across frequency ranges.
• Leakage current — Specified leakage current of 71.4 µA after 1 minute at rated voltage (20 °C), calculated per C·V specification.
• Temperature and endurance — Operating range −55 °C to +105 °C with a rated life/endurance of 2000 hours at 105 °C.
• Compact radial package — Cylindrical can, φ6.3 × 15 mm, radial lead through-hole mounting with 2.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm tolerance) for straightforward PCB placement.
• Polarized, through-hole form — Radial lead construction for reliable mechanical retention and ease of assembly in through-hole designs.
• RoHS compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive requirements.
• Packaging options — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to suit assembly and inventory needs.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Low-impedance behavior and specified ripple current make the UPJ1V680MED suitable for output smoothing and input decoupling in switching regulators.
• DC-DC Converters — Compact size and 35 V rating provide board-level energy storage and filtering for step‑down/step‑up converter stages.
• Consumer and Industrial Electronics — General-purpose filtering and decoupling in compact consumer devices and industrial control modules operating across −55 °C to +105 °C.

Unique Advantages

• Compact footprint for moderate capacitance: 68 µF at 35 V in a φ6.3 × 15 mm can helps save board area while delivering useful capacitance for many power circuits.
• Frequency-spanning ripple capability: Rated ripple currents at both low and high frequencies support designs exposed to a range of switching and noise profiles.
• Low dissipation (tan δ): The specified tan δ of 0.12 (20 °C, 120 Hz) reduces heat generation in filtering applications, aiding thermal management.
• Wide operating temperature: −55 °C to +105 °C operation ensures functional stability across harsh ambient environments.
• Through-hole robustness: Radial lead packaging provides mechanical durability and easy replacement or prototyping in hand-assembled or wave-solder processes.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in designs requiring restricted-substance adherence.
