Overview of URS2C680MHD – Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, Radial Lead, 68 µF, 160 V
The URS2C680MHD from Nichicon is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the URS series, offering 68 µF capacitance at a 160 V rated voltage. Designed for general-purpose electronic applications, it delivers measurable ripple-current capability and a compact, low-profile radial can package.
This component is suited for designs that require a polarized high-voltage electrolytic with defined ripple performance, controlled leakage, and a 2000-hour endurance at elevated temperature.
Key Features
- Core Electrical — 68 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a 160 V rated voltage.
- Ripple Current Performance — Rated for 490 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 784 mA at 10 kHz (high frequency), enabling use in circuits with measurable AC ripple requirements.
- Leakage Current Control — Specified leakage current of 535.2 µA, providing predictable standby behavior after voltage application.
- Endurance and Temperature — 2000 hours lifetime at 85°C and an operating temperature range of –40°C to +85°C for sustained performance in elevated-temperature conditions.
- Package & Mounting — Radial lead, can-style package with φ18 × 15 mm dimensions and 7.5 mm lead spacing for through-hole PCB mounting; supplied in bulk/bag packing.
- Polarity & Tolerance — Polarized electrolytic capacitor with ±20% capacitance tolerance for predictable selection and placement.
Typical Applications
- Power supply filtering — Use where a 160 V rated capacitor with specified ripple-current handling (490 mA @120 Hz, 784 mA @10 kHz) is required for smoothing and decoupling.
- General-purpose electronic circuits — Suitable for a wide range of general-purpose designs that call for a 68 µF, polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor.
- Elevated-temperature environments — Applicable in circuits operating up to 85°C where a 2000-hour endurance rating is needed.
Unique Advantages
- High-voltage capability: 160 V rating supports higher-voltage circuits compared to lower-voltage electrolytics, expanding design flexibility.
- Defined ripple handling: Separate low- and high-frequency ripple current ratings (490 mA at 120 Hz, 784 mA at 10 kHz) allow component selection based on the circuit’s ripple profile.
- Compact radial can: φ18 × 15 mm low-profile package with 7.5 mm lead spacing simplifies through-hole board layout in space-constrained designs.
- Predictable leakage behavior: Specified leakage current of 535.2 µA provides known bias characteristics for power-up and standby conditions.
- Thermal endurance: 2000 h at 85°C offers a measurable endurance benchmark for designs exposed to sustained elevated temperatures.
- Manufacturer pedigree: Part of Nichicon’s URS series, providing consistent labeling and form-factor expectations for replacement or board-level consistency.
