UPT2E680MHD

The UPT2E680MHD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UPT series, featuring 68 µF capacitance at a 250 V rating. Designed for general-purpose electronic and power applications, it provides a compact, polarized can package with high ripple-handling capability and extended operational life.

Key value propositions include high ripple current performance, long endurance at elevated temperature, and RoHS compliance—delivering stable filtering and energy-storage characteristics where sustained operation and reliability matter.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance 68 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a rated voltage of 250 V. Dissipation factor (tanδ) is 0.12 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz.
• High Ripple Capability Low-frequency ripple current 360 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 576 mA (10 kHz), enabling sustained ripple handling in AC-biased circuits.
• Long Endurance Rated for 5000 hours at 105°C with specified limits on capacitance change, tanδ, and leakage current after testing—supporting long-term reliability in demanding environments.
• Thermal Range Operating temperature range from −40°C to +105°C to accommodate a wide range of ambient conditions.
• Compact Radial Package Can size φ12.5 × 30.5 mmL with 5.0 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) in a radial, can-style package for through-hole mounting.
• Leakage and Polarization Polarized device with measured leakage current of 1030 µA (after 2 minutes at 20°C under rated voltage).
• Packaging Options & Compliance Available in bulk (no terminal forming) and bag packing; RoHS compliant and in mass production.

Typical Applications

• Lighting Ballasts — Suited for ballast applications where high ripple current and stable performance are required.
• General-Purpose Power Electronics — Use in circuits requiring polarized energy storage and smoothing at up to 250 V.
• Industrial Electronics — Appropriate for general-purpose electronic and power assemblies that need long-life capacitor solutions.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple-handling — Elevated ripple current ratings at both low and high frequencies reduce thermal stress during AC-biased operation.
• Extended high-temperature life — 5000-hour endurance at 105°C supports longer maintenance intervals and predictable aging in high-temperature environments.
• Compact, through-hole form factor — φ12.5 × 30.5 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing provides a small footprint for PCB layouts that require radial mounting.
• Measured electrical stability — Specified tanδ and leakage current values enable predictable performance and easier design validation.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS compliance supports use in regions and products requiring restricted substances conformance.
