UPV1A680MFD

The UPV1A680MFD is a miniature, radial‑lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UPV series designed for general‑purpose electronic applications. It offers a 68 µF capacitance at a 10 V rated voltage in a compact can package with low impedance characteristics and a polarized construction.

Engineered for reliability in confined spaces, this part delivers a 5000‑hour load life at +105°C, RoHS compliance, and a wide operating temperature range, making it suitable for compact power decoupling, smoothing and general filtering tasks where size and thermal endurance matter.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage – 68 µF nominal capacitance with a 10 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance for predictable filtering and decoupling performance.
• Miniature Radial Can Package – Compact size (L: 1.1 × D: 0.5 cm) and 2 mm lead spacing in a radial lead, can package for space‑constrained PCB layouts.
• High Temperature Endurance – Specified 5000 hours load life at +105°C; endurance criteria include capacitance change within ±30%, tan δ within 300% of initial spec, and leakage current less than or equal to initial specified value after the test.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range – Rated for operation from –55°C to +105°C for use across varied thermal environments.
• Low Impedance & Ripple Handling – Optimized for low impedance with defined ripple current capability: 83.7 mA at 120 Hz and 155 mA at 200 kHz, supporting AC ripple suppression and decoupling across frequency ranges.
• Leakage Current Specification – After 1 minute’s application of rated voltage at 20°C, leakage current is not more than 0.03CV (µA), enabling predictable leakage behavior in designs.
• RoHS Compliant – Meets RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) requirements for restricted substances.
• Polarized Construction – Polarized capacitor suitable for DC smoothing and bulk decoupling where polarity is observed.

Typical Applications

• Compact Power Supply Filtering – Small footprint and low impedance make the UPV1A680MFD suitable for output smoothing and decoupling in compact DC power modules and point‑of‑load regulators.
• Embedded Electronics – Useful for local energy storage and transient suppression on small embedded boards where space and thermal stability are important.
• Consumer and Industrial Electronics – General‑purpose smoothing and ripple attenuation in control electronics, sensors, and compact consumer devices operating up to +105°C.

Unique Advantages

• Space‑Efficient Design – Miniature radial can and 2 mm lead spacing reduce PCB area while maintaining adequate capacitance for decoupling tasks.
• Thermal Reliability – 5000‑hour load life at +105°C provides long duration performance in elevated temperature environments, lowering maintenance and replacement needs.
• Predictable AC Performance – Specified ripple current at both low and high frequencies helps designers size components for thermal and ripple handling across application bandwidths.
• Consistent Leakage Behavior – Leakage current bound by the 0.03CV rule ensures repeatable behavior for power budgeting and standby drain calculations.
• RoHS Compliance – Conforms to current RoHS directives for environmentally conscious designs and regulatory alignment.
