UPM1E680MED

The UPM1E680MED is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPM series, designed for low-impedance, high-reliability applications. It delivers 68 µF capacitance at a 25 V rating with ±20% tolerance and is supplied in a compact φ6.3 × 11 mm can with 2.5 mm lead spacing.

This part is AEC-Q200 rated and RoHS compliant, specified for operation from -55°C to 105°C with a rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 105°C. Note: this product is currently designated End of Life.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 68 µF capacitance at 25 V with ±20% tolerance for bulk decoupling and energy storage within the specified voltage range.
• Low Loss — Specified tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.14, enabling predictable AC behavior at the rated frequency and temperature.
• Ripple Handling — Low-frequency ripple current of 81.6 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 160 mA (200 kHz) to support power-supply smoothing and transient load demands.
• Leakage — Low specified leakage current of 51 µA, suitable for circuits sensitive to standby or leakage currents.
• Reliability & Lifetime — Rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 105°C, part of a series characterized for high reliability under elevated-temperature load conditions.
• Mechanical & Mounting — Radial lead, can-style package (φ6.3 × 11 mm) with 2.5 mm lead spacing and bulk/no-terminal-forming supply for through-hole assembly.
• Qualification & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, supporting regulated-industry requirements.

Typical Applications

• Automotive — AEC-Q200 systems: Suited for electronic modules and subsystems that require components qualified to AEC-Q200.
• Automotive — High-temperature environments: Rated for operation from -55°C to 105°C with a defined 2000-hour life at 105°C for designs exposed to elevated temperatures.
• Automotive — Power supply ripple control: Specified ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 200 kHz help manage smoothing and transient suppression in vehicle power circuits.
• Automotive — Compact through-hole mounting: Small φ6.3 × 11 mm can and 2.5 mm lead spacing for space-constrained, board-mounted designs requiring radial-lead capacitors.

Unique Advantages

• Qualified for automotive usage: AEC-Q200 rating provides explicit qualification for applications requiring that industry standard.
• Predictable AC behavior: Specified tan δ (0.14) and defined ripple current values make performance easier to model in power designs.
• Low leakage: 51 µA leakage current supports designs where standby current and leakage budgets matter.
• Compact radial form factor: φ6.3 × 11 mm can with 2.5 mm lead spacing provides a small, through-hole option for legacy and robust-mounting requirements.
• High-temperature endurance: 2000-hour rating at 105°C provides a clear specification for thermal endurance in harsh environments.

Why Choose UPM1E680MED?

UPM1E680MED combines the low-impedance, high-reliability attributes of Nichicon’s UPM family with a compact radial-lead package and automotive-focused qualification. Its defined ripple current ratings, low leakage, and broad operating temperature range make it a practical choice for engineers specifying electrolytic capacitance in regulated or temperature-challenging designs.

Because the part is AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, it is appropriate for designs requiring documented qualification and environmental compliance. Note the product is currently End of Life; evaluate its specifications for compatibility with legacy designs or replacement planning.
