URS2C680MHD6

The URS2C680MHD6 from Nichicon is a miniature, radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the URS series. It delivers 68 µF of capacitance with a 160 V rated voltage in a compact φ16 × 20 mm can, designed for general-purpose electronic applications.

This component is suited for designs that require bulk capacitance and ripple handling in a compact, low‑profile package, with rated endurance specified for elevated-temperature operation.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 68 µF nominal capacitance with tolerance −20% to +20%, tanδ (DF) 0.2 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, and leakage current specified at 535.2 µA.
• Rated Voltage — 160 V DC rating for medium‑voltage applications requiring polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitance.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low‑frequency ripple current 490 mA at 120 Hz and high‑frequency ripple current 784 mA at 10 kHz (manufacturer-stated conditions).
• Temperature and Endurance — Operating temperature range −40°C to +85°C with an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 85°C.
• Compact, Low‑Profile Package — Can dimensions φ16 × 20 mm with radial lead spacing 7.5 mm (±0.5 mm), providing a small footprint for through‑hole assemblies.
• Mounting & Packaging — Radial lead, polarized construction; packaging options include bulk (no terminal forming) and bag packing.

Typical Applications

• Power supply filtering — Bulk capacitance and 160 V rating for smoothing and decoupling in medium‑voltage supplies and power rails.
• DC/DC converters and power stages — Ripple current specifications support decoupling at both low and higher switching frequencies.
• Industrial and general-purpose electronics — Compact φ16 × 20 mm package for assemblies where board space is constrained but elevated temperature endurance is required.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, low‑profile form factor — φ16 × 20 mm can minimizes board area while providing substantial capacitance.
• High voltage capability — 160 V rating enables use in medium‑voltage circuits where lower‑voltage electrolytics are unsuitable.
• Measured ripple performance — Specified ripple current values at 120 Hz and 10 kHz allow designers to assess thermal and ripple handling across common frequencies.
• Long endurance at elevated temperature — 2000 hours at 85°C rating provides a defined reliability metric for thermal environments.
• Radial‑lead convenience — Through‑hole mounting and standard 7.5 mm lead spacing simplify prototyping and replacement in legacy or mixed‑technology assemblies.
