UPV1C680MGD

The UPV1C680MGD is a miniature, polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPV series. It is a low‑impedance, radial‑lead radial can capacitor rated at 68 µF and 16 V, designed for general purpose electronic circuits.

Engineered for elevated temperature operation and long life, the UPV1C680MGD is specified for 5000 hours load life at +105°C and is RoHS compliant, making it suitable where compact size, ripple handling and high‑temperature endurance are required.

Key Features

• Electrical — Rated capacitance 68 µF with a rated voltage of 16 V and capacitance tolerance ±20% (at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Low Impedance & Ripple Performance — Designed as a low‑impedance series with specified ripple current handling: 118.8 mA at 120 Hz and 220 mA at 200 kHz.
• Reliability & Endurance — Load life rated for 5000 hours at +105°C; endurance and shelf‑life characteristics are defined in the product series datasheet.
• Thermal Range — Operating temperature range from −55°C to +105°C to support a wide range of environmental conditions.
• Packaging & Mounting — Radial lead, radial can package with 2.5 mm lead spacing and compact dimensions (L: 1.1 × D: 0.63 cm).
• Leakage & Dissipation — Series specifications include leakage current limit (not more than 0.03CV µA after 1 minute at 20°C) and tangent of loss angle (tan δ) max. 0.16 for 16 V parts.
• Environmental Compliance — Compliant with RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General purpose – Compact power filtering — Small radial can size and low impedance make the UPV1C680MGD suitable for local decoupling and filtering on space‑constrained PCBs.
• General purpose – Power rail stabilization — 68 µF at 16 V with defined ripple current ratings supports stabilization of low‑voltage power rails in embedded modules.
• General purpose – High‑temperature electronics — Specified 5000 hours life at +105°C and operating range to −55°C make it applicable where sustained elevated‑temperature performance is required.

Unique Advantages

• Long high‑temperature endurance: Rated for 5000 hours at +105°C, offering predictable performance under extended elevated‑temperature load.
• Compact footprint: Small radial can (L: 1.1 × D: 0.63 cm) and 2.5 mm lead spacing minimize board space while providing electrolytic capacitance.
• Measurable ripple capability: Published ripple current values at 120 Hz and 200 kHz allow engineers to evaluate thermal and ripple performance precisely.
• Defined electrical limits: Series leakage current specification (≤0.03CV µA after 1 minute at 20°C) and tan δ rating give clear parameters for circuit design.
• RoHS compliance: Meets RoHS directive requirements for restricted substances.
• Through‑hole mounting: Radial lead configuration provides a robust mechanical connection for through‑hole assembly.
