UPZ2G680MHD

The UPZ2G680MHD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon's UPZ series, rated for 400 V with a nominal capacitance of 68 µF. Designed for general-purpose power applications, it provides compact high-voltage filtering and energy-storage capability in a through-hole radial can (φ12.5 × 40 mm).

Its key value propositions are a 400 V rating, a wide operating temperature range (−40 °C to 105 °C), and a defined endurance of 2000 hours at 105 °C, making it suitable for high-voltage power conversion and filtering tasks where long-term thermal endurance and reliable ripple handling are required.

Key Features

• Rated Voltage & Capacitance — 68 µF nominal capacitance at a 400 V rated voltage for high-voltage DC filtering and bulk energy storage.
• Temperature Range & Endurance — Operating temperature −40 °C to 105 °C with a life specification of 2000 hours at 105 °C under rated ripple and DC bias.
• Frequency-Qualified Ripple Performance — Rated ripple handling of 480 mA at 120 Hz and 720 mA at 10 kHz, supporting both low- and high-frequency switching environments.
• Loss and Leakage Characteristics — tanδ specified at 0.15 (measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz for 400 V) and leakage current specified (product level) at 1188 µA after 1 minute at 20 °C.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, polarized can with φ12.5 mm diameter and 40 mm length; lead spacing 5.0 mm (±0.5 mm) for straightforward through-hole assembly.
• Tolerance & Shelf/Endurance — Capacitance tolerance ±20% (−20% to +20% at 120 Hz, 20 °C) and shelf-life/endurance procedures defined by the series specification.
• Packaging Options — Supplied in bulk/no terminal forming and bag packing for flexible procurement and assembly workflows.

Typical Applications

• High-Voltage Power Supplies — Bulk smoothing and decoupling for 400 V rails and high-voltage DC outputs.
• Switch-Mode Power Converters — DC-link and output filtering where both low-frequency and high-frequency ripple performance are required.
• Industrial Control Electronics — Energy storage and transient suppression in control systems operating across a wide temperature range.
• General-Purpose Power Filtering — Through-hole board designs needing reliable polarized capacitors with defined endurance at elevated temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• High-Voltage Capability: 400 V rating enables use in higher-voltage DC systems without overspecifying capacitance.
• Compact, Miniature Form Factor: φ12.5 × 40 mm canister minimizes board footprint while providing 68 µF of capacitance.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range: −40 °C to 105 °C supports demanding thermal environments and helps maintain performance across conditions.
• Defined Endurance: 2000 hours at 105 °C under rated conditions gives a measurable durability metric for design lifetime planning.
• Frequency-Adapted Ripple Performance: Specified ripple ratings at 120 Hz and 10 kHz allow designers to size capacitors to both mains-frequency and switching-frequency demands.
• Through-Hole Ease of Use: Radial lead and standardized 5.0 mm lead spacing simplify hand or wave solder assembly for prototypes and production.
