UPM1V680MED

The UPM1V680MED is a radial lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPM series, designed for low impedance and high reliability in demanding environments. It delivers 68 µF at a 35 V rating with polarized radial-can packaging and is targeted at automotive electronics and other systems requiring AEC‑Q200 qualification and a wide operating temperature range.

Key value drivers include compact radial packaging with 2.5 mm lead spacing, robust ripple handling across low and high frequencies, and a rated operating range from −55°C to +105°C with a rated lifetime at elevated temperature.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 68 µF rated capacitance at 35 V with ±20% tolerance for bulk smoothing and decoupling functions.
• Low Loss — Specified tangent of loss angle (tanδ) of 0.12 at 35 V, supporting stable AC performance under ripple conditions.
• Ripple Current Capability — 117.3 mA at 120 Hz and 230 mA at 200 kHz, enabling effective filtering across both low and high frequency domains.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 71.4 µA, consistent with electrolytic performance expectations at rated voltage.
• High Reliability — AEC‑Q200 qualification at the part level and UPM series design focus on extended load‑life; this part is rated for 2000 hours at +105°C, with series options offering extended endurance up to 5000 hours for applicable sizes.
• Temperature Range — Wide operating temperature from −55°C to +105°C for robust performance across harsh environments.
• Compact Radial Package — φ6.3×15L can with 2.5 mm lead spacing and radial lead mounting for through‑hole assemblies and reliable mechanical retention.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Designed for automotive modules where AEC‑Q200 qualification and wide temperature capability are required.
• Power Supply Filtering — Bulk smoothing and decoupling in DC‑DC converters and onboard power rails, benefitting from the part’s ripple current capability and low tanδ.
• Control and Sensor Modules — Energy storage and transient suppression in electronic control units and sensor interfaces operating across automotive temperature ranges.

Unique Advantages

• AEC‑Q200 Qualified: Explicit qualification supports use in automotive subsystems and other high‑reliability applications.
• Wide Thermal Operating Range: −55°C to +105°C rating ensures stable electrical behavior in extreme ambient conditions.
• Measured Ripple Performance: Dual ripple ratings (117.3 mA at 120 Hz, 230 mA at 200 kHz) give designers clear parameters for low‑ and high‑frequency filtering.
• Compact Radial Can: φ6.3×15L package with 2.5 mm lead spacing delivers a small footprint for through‑hole layouts while maintaining adequate creepage and mechanical strength.
• Series Reliability Options: Part of the UPM series built for low impedance and extended load life, with series-level endurance up to 5000 hours for selected sizes.
• Environmentally Conformant: RoHS compliance supports regulatory and sustainability goals.
