URZ2E680MHD

The URZ2E680MHD from Nichicon is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the URZ series, offering 68 µF capacitance at a 250 V rated voltage. It is a compact, low-profile can-style capacitor designed for general-purpose power and filtering applications where through-hole mounting and robust ripple handling are required.

Key value propositions include a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to 105°C, a 1,000-hour endurance rating at 105°C, and measured electrical characteristics optimized for power-circuit smoothing and decoupling in industrial and general-purpose electronics.

Key Features

• Electrical characteristics — 68 µF nominal capacitance with tolerance of -20% to +20% and a rated voltage of 250 V, suitable for medium-voltage smoothing and energy-storage tasks.
• Loss and leakage — Tangent of loss angle (tanδ) 0.16 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz; leakage current specified at 780 µA, enabling predictable dissipation and standby behavior.
• Ripple handling — Low-frequency ripple current 350 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 560 mA at 10 kHz, providing solid AC ripple endurance for power supply circuits.
• Thermal and endurance — Rated for -40°C to 105°C operation with a lifetime/endurance of 1,000 hours at 105°C under rated voltage.
• Package and mounting — Radial lead, can-style package sized φ18 × 20 mm with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), supplied in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing for through-hole assembly.

Typical Applications

• Power supply smoothing — Bulk decoupling and output filtering in general-purpose power supplies operating up to 250 V, where stable capacitance and ripple handling are required.
• Industrial control electronics — Energy storage and ripple attenuation in control modules and power circuits that must operate across -40°C to 105°C.
• General-purpose electronics — Through-hole designs requiring a compact, low-profile radial electrolytic for decoupling, timing, or DC-link support.

Unique Advantages

• Wide temperature endurance — Rated to operate from -40°C to 105°C with a 1,000-hour life at 105°C, offering durability in thermally demanding environments.
• Compact, low-profile package — φ18 × 20 mm can with radial leads and 7.5 mm lead spacing enables space-efficient through-hole placement.
• Proven ripple capability — Specified ripple currents of 350 mA (120 Hz) and 560 mA (10 kHz) support reliable AC-load performance in filtering applications.
• Predictable dielectric loss and leakage — tanδ of 0.16 (20°C, 120 Hz) and 780 µA leakage current allow engineers to model dissipation and standby power precisely.
• Through-hole assembly ready — Radial-lead format and straightforward bulk/bag packing simplify prototyping and board assembly processes.
