UPJ2A680MHD6

The UPJ2A680MHD6 is a polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial-can package from Nichicon’s UPJ series. It delivers 68 µF capacitance at a 100 V rating with a compact φ12.5 × 15 mm can and 5 mm lead spacing, designed for general-purpose power-filtering and switching power supply applications.

Engineered for low impedance and extended life, this component offers a specified endurance of 5000 hours at 105 °C and RoHS compliance, making it suitable for demanding power circuitry where long-term stability and predictable ripple performance are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 68 µF nominal capacitance with a 100 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable for DC filtering and energy storage in mid-voltage power rails.
• Low Loss (tan δ) — tan δ = 0.08 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz (100 V), indicating low dissipation for improved efficiency in AC ripple environments.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated low-frequency ripple current of 147.39 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency capability of 289 mA at 200 kHz, supporting smoothing and decoupling in switching supplies.
• Leakage Current — Leakage current specified at 204 µA, enabling predictable bias behavior after application of rated voltage.
• Endurance / Reliability — Designed to withstand 5000 hours at 105 °C under DC bias plus rated ripple current, meeting the UPJ series’ low-impedance, high-reliability criteria.
• Package and Mounting — Radial lead, can-style package (φ12.5 × 15 mm) with 5 mm lead spacing and lead spacing tolerance ±0.5 mm; available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
• Temperature Range & Compliance — Operating temperature −55 °C to +105 °C; compliant with RoHS directive.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Bulk and output filtering where low impedance and stable ripple handling improve regulation and transient response.
• DC Power Filtering — Smoothing and decoupling on mid-voltage DC rails in industrial and instrumentation power systems.
• General-Purpose Power Electronics — Energy storage and noise suppression in a wide range of power-management and control circuits.

Unique Advantages

• Predictable High-Temperature Endurance: 5000-hour rated life at 105 °C supports long-term stability in elevated-temperature environments.
• Measured Low Loss: tan δ = 0.08 at 20 °C, 120 Hz (100 V) reduces dissipation and thermal stress in ripple-heavy circuits.
• Frequency-Range Ripple Support: Specified ripple current values at both 120 Hz and 200 kHz provide clarity for designers addressing low- and high-frequency ripple regimes.
• Compact Radial Package: φ12.5 × 15 mm can and 5 mm lead spacing offer a small footprint for board-level power filtering while maintaining robust terminal geometry.
• RoHS Compliance: Meets environmental directive requirements for lead-free processes and regulatory conformity.
