URZ2C680MHD

The URZ2C680MHD is a compact, low-profile radial lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's URZ series. It delivers 68 µF capacitance at a 160 V rating in a miniature φ18×15L can designed for general-purpose electronic circuits.

Engineered for dependable operation across a wide ambient range, this polarized capacitor supports -40°C to 105°C operation with 1000 hours endurance at 105°C and defined ripple-current performance for both low- and high-frequency applications.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 68 µF nominal with a tolerance of -20% to +20%, suitable where precise capacitance is not critical but stable bulk storage is required.
• Voltage Rating — 160 V rated voltage for higher-voltage general-purpose designs.
• Compact, Radial Lead Package — φ18×15L can (L: 1.5 × D: 1.8 cm) with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) for through-hole mounting and straightforward PCB placement.
• Temperature and Endurance — Operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C with a specified lifetime of 1000 hours at 105°C.
• Ripple Current Performance — Low-frequency ripple current 350 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 560 mA at 10 kHz, enabling reliable AC performance across common ripple spectrums.
• Dielectric Loss (tan δ) — tan δ = 0.20 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, useful for assessing loss behavior in AC conditions.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 535.2 µA.
• Packaging Options — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to match assembly and inventory workflows.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronic circuits — Acts as a bulk storage/decoupling capacitor where a 68 µF, 160 V polarized solution is required.
• Through-hole PCB designs — Radial lead form factor and 7.5 mm lead spacing simplify placement and mechanical retention on conventional boards.
• Environments with elevated temperature demands — Endurance rating of 1000 hours at 105°C supports applications exposed to higher operating temperatures within the specified range.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability: 160 V rating provides headroom for higher-voltage circuits without changing capacitor topology.
• Compact low-profile can: φ18×15L dimensions deliver bulk capacitance in a small footprint for space-constrained through-hole designs.
• Defined ripple handling: Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies (350 mA @120 Hz, 560 mA @10 kHz) help predict thermal and AC performance.
• Wide operating temperature: Specified operation from -40°C to 105°C with 1000 h endurance at 105°C supports robust performance in warmer environments.
• Clear electrical characteristics: Provided tan δ and leakage current figures enable straightforward comparison and system-level budgeting for loss and standby current.
• Flexible packaging: Bulk or bag packing options accommodate different procurement and assembly workflows.
