Overview of URZ2C680MHD6 – 68 µF, 160 V Radial Lead Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The URZ2C680MHD6 is a miniature, radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's URZ series. It provides 68 µF capacitance at a 160 V rated voltage in a compact φ16 × 20 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing, designed for general-purpose power applications.
Engineered for compact power filtering and decoupling, this capacitor combines a high-voltage rating with a wide operating temperature range and specified endurance for use where reliable smoothing and ripple handling are required.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Tolerance — 68 µF with tolerance of −20% to +20% for predictable charge storage in general-purpose circuits.
- Rated Voltage — 160 V nominal rating suitable for higher-voltage DC rails within the part's specification.
- Temperature Range & Endurance — Specified operating range −40 °C to 105 °C and endurance of 1000 hours at 105 °C.
- Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple handling of 350 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency capability of 560 mA at 10 kHz, enabling effective smoothing across frequency ranges.
- Leakage Current — Rated leakage current of 535.2 µA (measurement conditions provided in part data).
- Loss Tangent — tan δ = 0.20 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz, and rated voltage (160 V) for predictable dissipation characteristics.
- Compact Radial Package — φ16 × 20 mm can with radial leads, 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), and bulk/bag packing options for through-hole assembly.
Typical Applications
- Power supply filtering — Smoothing and bulk decoupling on medium-to-high-voltage DC rails where 160 V rating and compact size are required.
- General-purpose power electronics — Energy storage and ripple suppression in general-purpose circuits and industrial control electronics.
- Embedded and consumer power modules — Local reservoir and transient handling in compact, through-hole power modules and assemblies.
Unique Advantages
- High voltage in a compact footprint — 160 V rating in a φ16 × 20 mm can allows designers to support higher DC rails without increasing board area significantly.
- Frequency-versatile ripple handling — Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz give clarity on performance across low and high frequency conditions.
- Temperature and endurance specification — Rated for −40 °C to 105 °C and 1000 hours at 105 °C for predictable lifetime behavior under elevated temperature stress.
- Clear electrical characterization — Provided tan δ and leakage current values measured at defined conditions simplify selection and reliability calculations.
- Through-hole radial convenience — Standard radial leads and 7.5 mm spacing ease placement and soldering in through-hole assemblies.
