UPM1A680MDD

The UPM1A680MDD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPM series, offering low impedance and high reliability in a compact can package. It delivers 68 µF capacitance at 10 V with a wide operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C, and is AEC-Q200 qualified for automotive applications.

Designed for engineers needing compact, high-reliability smoothing and decoupling in harsh environments, this part combines specified ripple performance, controlled leakage and established endurance to support robust power designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 68 µF nominal capacitance rated at 10 V with capacitance tolerance of -20% to +20%.
• Low impedance, controlled dissipation — Tangent of loss angle (tanδ) 0.19 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, supporting stable AC behavior in filtering applications.
• Ripple performance — Low-frequency ripple current 49.47 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 97 mA at 200 kHz for mixed-frequency power environments.
• Leakage current — Specified leakage current of 20.4 µA after voltage application, enabling predictable standby and bias behavior.
• Thermal and endurance rating — Operating temperature range -55°C to 105°C and rated for 2000 hours endurance at 105°C for sustained high-temperature operation.
• Compact radial package — Small can size φ5 × 11 mm with 2.0 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), radial lead mounting for through-hole assemblies and tight board layouts.
• Automotive-focused qualification — AEC-Q200 rating and RoHS compliance, aligning the part with automotive electronic design requirements.
• Packaging options — Supplied in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to suit assembly and inventory preferences.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Suited for smoothing and decoupling in automotive control modules where AEC-Q200 qualification and an extended temperature range are required.
• Power supply filtering — Compact radial package for local bulk capacitance and ripple handling on low-voltage power rails.
• Embedded and industrial modules — Provides predictable leakage and endurance for compact modules operating across -55°C to 105°C.

Unique Advantages

• Automotive-capable qualification: AEC-Q200 rating supports use in automotive electronic designs that require component-level qualification.
• Wide temperature tolerance: Rated from -55°C to 105°C to maintain performance across demanding thermal environments.
• Small footprint, through-hole reliability: φ5 × 11 mm radial can with 2 mm lead spacing enables dense layouts while retaining robust through-hole mounting.
• Measured AC performance: Specified tanδ and ripple current values at defined frequencies (120 Hz and 200 kHz) provide verifiable behavior for filter and decoupling designs.
• Predictable leakage and endurance: Defined leakage current and a 2000-hour endurance rating at 105°C enable reliable long-term performance in sustained duty applications.
• RoHS compliant: Meets RoHS requirements for regulatory and environmental conformity.
