Overview of URS2E680MHD – Miniature Radial Lead Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 25 V, 68 µF
The URS2E680MHD is a Nichicon URS series miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead, standard-type package. It provides 68 µF capacitance at 25 V in a compact, low-profile can suitable for general-purpose applications.
Designed for board-level power filtering and general-purpose use, the part delivers defined ripple-current performance, controlled dissipation (tan δ), and a 2000-hour endurance rating at elevated temperature, making it suitable where predictable electrical characteristics and compact packaging are required.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 68 µF nominal capacitance with a tolerance of -20% to +20% at the rated 25 V.
- Loss Angle (tan δ) — tan δ = 0.16 measured at 20°C and 120 Hz, providing a quantified measure of dissipation for design calculations.
- Ripple Current Ratings — 490 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 784 mA at 10 kHz (high frequency), enabling selection based on expected ripple environments.
- Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 780 µA for predictable standby and bias behavior.
- Endurance & Temperature Range — Rated for 2000 hours at 85°C and specified to operate from -40°C to +85°C (category temperature range from URS series).
- Package & Mounting — Radial lead, can-style construction with nominal dimensions φ18 × 20 mm and 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm). Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
Typical Applications
- General-Purpose Electronics — Useful wherever a polarized 68 µF, 25 V aluminum electrolytic is required for routine circuit functions and general-purpose board designs.
- Board-Level Power Filtering — Sized and specified for smoothing and ripple handling up to the listed ripple-current limits at both low and high frequencies.
- Space-Constrained, Low-Profile Assemblies — The URS series’ compact, low-profile form and radial lead mounting suit applications where vertical height and footprint are limited.
Unique Advantages
- Compact, low-profile form factor: φ18 × 20 mm can and radial-lead package reduce board footprint while retaining practical capacitance.
- Quantified ripple performance: Separate low- and high-frequency ripple-current ratings (490 mA @120 Hz, 784 mA @10 kHz) let you match capacitor selection to expected ripple environments.
- Measured dissipation factor: Specified tan δ = 0.16 at 20°C/120 Hz provides a clear basis for thermal and loss calculations.
- Defined leakage specification: 780 µA leakage current enables predictable bias and power-loss budgeting.
- Endurance information from datasheet: 2000-hour life at 85°C with specified limits for capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage current supports reliability planning.
- Flexible handling options: Offered in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to suit prototype through production needs.
Why Choose URS2E680MHD?
URS2E680MHD from Nichicon’s URS series combines compact, low-profile packaging with clearly specified electrical characteristics—capacitance, loss factor, leakage, ripple-current capability, and a defined endurance at elevated temperature. These attributes make it suitable for designers seeking predictable behavior and straightforward specification matching in general-purpose board-level power applications.
This part is appropriate for engineers and procurement teams building assemblies that require a polarized aluminum electrolytic with documented ripple handling, dissipation factor, and a known lifetime profile. The URS series data provides consistent series-level context for selecting alternate voltage or capacitance values within the same compact family.
