UPTW6680MHD6

The UPTW6680MHD6 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial-can package, rated 68 µF at 420 V. It combines a compact footprint with high ripple handling and an extended endurance rating for demanding general-purpose and ballast applications.

Designed for radial-lead mounting, this polarized capacitor is intended where a small form factor, elevated voltage rating, and long operational life are required.

Key Features

• Rated Capacitance and Tolerance — 68 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• High Voltage Rating — 420 V rated voltage suitable for high-voltage circuit needs up to the specified rating.
• Miniature Radial Can Package — Radial lead, can package with dimensions L: 3.05 × D: 1.8 cm and lead spacing 7.5 mm for compact PCB layouts.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 510 mA at 120 Hz and 816 mA at 10 kHz to support AC ripple and ballast-style loads.
• Extended High-Temperature Endurance — Specified lifetime of 5000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current with defined post-test limits for capacitance, tan δ, and leakage.
• Operating Temperature Range — −40°C to +105°C operating range for broad environmental tolerance.
• Tangent of Loss Angle (tan δ) — Maximum tan δ of 0.20 for the 420 V rating (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Leakage Current Specification — Leakage current limited to 0.06·C·V + 10 µA after 2 minutes at 20°C, enabling predictable power loss behavior.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directives as stated for the series.

Typical Applications

• Ballast Systems — Suited for ballast application where high ripple capability and a 420 V rating are required.
• High-Voltage Circuits — Use in circuits that require capacitors rated up to 420 V and compact packaging.
• General-Purpose Electronics — Applicable to general-purpose power and filtering roles that demand long life and elevated temperature endurance.

Unique Advantages

• Compact high-voltage solution: 420 V rating in a small L: 3.05 × D: 1.8 cm can reduces board area for high-voltage designs.
• High ripple tolerance across frequency: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz enable predictable performance in AC-heavy and switching environments.
• Proven long-life performance: 5000 hours at 105°C endurance specification provides measurable long-term stability for elevated-temperature applications.
• Predictable electrical characteristics: Defined tan δ and leakage current limits allow straightforward thermal and loss calculations during design.
• Radial-lead mounting: Through-hole radial leads and 7.5 mm lead spacing simplify assembly in traditional PCB layouts and replacement designs.
• Standards compliance: RoHS compliance supports regulatory requirements for modern electronic designs.
