UPW1J680MPD

The UPW1J680MPD is a radial‑lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPW series designed for miniature, low‑impedance power applications. It provides 68 µF nominal capacitance at a 63 V rated voltage in a compact radial can package.

Targeted for switching power supplies and automotive electronics, the part combines low impedance and defined ripple handling with AEC‑Q200 qualification and high‑temperature endurance for reliable operation in demanding power environments.

Key Features

• Electrical characteristics: 68 µF capacitance at 63 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance; polarized design suitable for DC power rails.
• Low impedance: Specified impedance of 684 mΩ, helping to reduce ripple voltage and improve transient response in power systems.
• Ripple performance: Rated ripple current of 263.3 mA at 120 Hz and 405 mA at 10 kHz; frequency coefficient for 68–330 µF parts is 0.65 at 120 Hz and 1.00 at 10 kHz.
• Reliability and temperature range: AEC‑Q200 rated with an operating temperature range of −55 °C to 105 °C and a rated lifetime of 3000 hours at 105 °C.
• Package and mounting: Radial lead, can style package with 3.5 mm lead spacing, appropriate for through‑hole assembly and serviceability.

Typical Applications

• Switching power supplies: Bulk and smoothing capacitor for DC output stages in compact switching regulators and power modules.
• Automotive electronics: Designed for automotive use cases where AEC‑Q200 qualification and extended high‑temperature endurance are required.
• Compact power modules and DC‑DC converters: Provides low impedance and defined ripple handling in space‑constrained power designs.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, board‑friendly package: Radial can and 3.5 mm lead spacing make the UPW1J680MPD easy to integrate into through‑hole power assemblies.
• Reduced ripple and improved transient response: Low specified impedance (684 mΩ) and rated ripple currents help minimize voltage ripple on power rails.
• Automotive‑grade reliability: AEC‑Q200 qualification supports use in automotive power electronics requiring component-level reliability assurance.
• High‑temperature endurance: Rated for operation to 105 °C with a specified lifetime of 3000 hours at that temperature for long‑term stability in hot environments.
• Predictable frequency behavior: Documented frequency coefficients for ripple current (0.65 at 120 Hz, 1.00 at 10 kHz for the 68–330 µF range) enable accurate thermal and ripple budgeting.
