UPV1H680MGD

The UPV1H680MGD is a miniature, low-impedance aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPV series, configured in a radial-lead can for board-level mounting. It is designed for general-purpose electronic applications that require compact energy storage and stable performance under elevated temperature conditions.

Key strengths include a 68 µF capacitance at a 50 V rating, a wide operating temperature range of −55 °C to +105 °C, and a demonstrated endurance of 5000 hours at +105 °C, offering reliable long-term performance in demanding thermal environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 68 µF nominal capacitance with a 50 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable for moderate-voltage decoupling and smoothing tasks.
• Low Impedance & Ripple Handling: Specified impedance of 280 mΩ and rated ripple currents of 221.4 mA at 120 Hz and 410 mA at 200 kHz, enabling effective ripple suppression and stable AC performance.
• High-Temperature Endurance: Engineered to withstand 5000 hours of applied rated voltage at +105 °C, with endurance criteria defined for capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage current.
• Wide Operating Temperature: Specified for −55 °C to +105 °C operation to cover a broad range of environmental conditions.
• Compact Radial Package: Radial lead can with 3.5 mm lead spacing and compact dimensions (L: 1.15 × D: 0.8 cm) for space-constrained board layouts.
• Leakage & Dissipation: Series leakage current specification: ≤0.03CV (µA) after 1 minute at 20 °C; tan δ max. for 50 V rating is 0.10 (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• RoHS Compliant: Conforms to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for restricted substances compliance.

Typical Applications

• Power supply decoupling: Provides board-level smoothing and decoupling where a compact 50 V capacitor with low impedance is required.
• DC bus filtering: Useful for stabilizing intermediate rails and filtering ripple in compact power modules or converter circuits.
• Industrial and consumer electronics: Suited for general-purpose energy storage in devices that benefit from a small footprint and high-temperature endurance.

Unique Advantages

• Long high-temperature life: 5000 hours at +105 °C supports designs that must maintain capacitance and leakage characteristics under sustained elevated temperatures.
• Low-impedance performance: 280 mΩ impedance and defined ripple ratings help reduce voltage fluctuation and heat under AC loading.
• Space-efficient footprint: Compact radial can and 3.5 mm lead spacing enable fitting the capacitor into tight board layouts without sacrificing performance.
• Clear electrical limits: Defined leakage current and tan δ specifications allow engineers to model behavior precisely during design and qualification.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity simplifies integration into products targeted for regions requiring restricted-substance compliance.
