UPT2G680MHD

The UPT2G680MHD is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial can package designed for general-purpose and ballast applications. It delivers a compact 68 µF capacitance at a 400 V rating with a polarized radial-lead configuration.

Engineered for high ripple environments and extended service life, this part offers specified ripple current performance across low and high frequencies and a rated lifetime of 5000 h at 105°C, making it suited to power electronics where sustained high-voltage filtering and durability are required.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance: 68 µF capacitance at a 400 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance, suitable for high-voltage filtering and energy storage in general-purpose circuits.
• High Ripple Current: Rated ripple current of 460 mA at 120 Hz and 736 mA at 10 kHz, providing improved handling of AC ripple in ballast and power-supply applications.
• Wide Operating Temperature: Specified for operation from −40°C to +105°C, supporting designs that require broad thermal tolerance.
• Long Life: Endurance specified as 5000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current, with capacitance and leakage requirements defined after the endurance test.
• Compact Radial Can Package: Radial lead, can-style package with 7.5 mm lead spacing and overall dimensions L: 3.05 × D: 1.6 cm, enabling space-efficient board layouts.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets RoHS directive requirements for restricted substances.

Typical Applications

• Ballasts: Designed for ballast applications where high ripple capability and sustained high-voltage performance are required.
• General-Purpose Power Electronics: Used for smoothing, decoupling, and energy storage in a variety of industrial and commercial power circuits.
• High-Voltage Filtering: Compact 400 V rating and 68 µF capacitance make it suitable for filtering tasks in high-voltage DC link and supply circuits.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Explicit ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 10 kHz let designers manage AC stress across frequency ranges with known performance.
• Proven long-life rating: 5000 hours at 105°C provides a clear endurance specification for lifetime expectations in thermal-stressed designs.
• Compact footprint: Small can dimensions and 7.5 mm lead spacing help reduce PCB area without sacrificing voltage rating.
• Wide temperature range: −40°C to +105°C operating range supports deployment in environments with broad thermal variation.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in designs requiring restricted-substance conformance.
