UUG2C680MNQ1MS

The UUG2C680MNQ1MS is a chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UUG series designed for surface-mount applications requiring high capacitance at elevated voltage. Featuring a 68 µF capacitance at 160 V and a compact φ16 × 16.5 mm can, it targets power electronics and control modules where high ripple handling and robust lifetime performance are required.

Engineered as a polarized SMD radial can with embossed carrier taping, the device combines elevated ripple capability with endurance and an AEC-Q200 rating to support demanding systems across industrial and automotive-focused designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 68 µF capacitance rated at 160 V to support energy storage and DC bus applications requiring higher voltage margins.
• Ripple Current Handling — Low-frequency ripple current of 500 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 800 mA (10 kHz) to support filtering and decoupling in switching power stages.
• Reliability & Endurance — Endurance specified as 2000 hours at 85°C with restored measurement at 20°C, providing a clear thermal life rating for design validation.
• Automotive-Grade Screening — AEC-Q200 rated, suitable for designs that require automotive-grade component screening and traceable series-level qualification.
• Temperature Range — Operating range from −40°C to +85°C to cover a wide set of environmental conditions.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current 535.2 µA (product listing), consistent with electrolytic leakage expectations for the capacitance and voltage rating.
• Package & Assembly — Chip-type radial can (SMD) with case size φ16 × 16.5 mm, surface-mount land size 16.3 × 16.3 mm, and embossed carrier taping for automated placement.
• Tolerance & Polarization — Capacitance tolerance ±20% and polarized construction for correct orientation in DC circuits.

Typical Applications

• Power conversion and DC bus filtering — High voltage rating and defined ripple currents make the UUG2C680MNQ1MS suitable for smoothing and bulk energy storage in converters and power supplies.
• Automotive power electronics — With AEC-Q200 screening and a −40°C to +85°C operating range, it is suitable for electronic control modules and in-vehicle power subsystems requiring robust capacitors.
• Industrial drives and motor controls — Compact SMD chip can and elevated ripple capability support decoupling and filtering in inverter and motor-control electronics.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability: 160 V rating enables use where higher DC bus voltages are present, reducing the need for parallel components.
• Measurable ripple performance: Specified 500 mA (120 Hz) and 800 mA (10 kHz) ripple ratings provide designers with quantified limits for thermal and reliability analysis.
• Automotive-grade screening: AEC-Q200 rating supports inclusion in designs that require industry-recognized component qualification.
• Compact SMD form factor: φ16 × 16.5 mm chip can and embossed carrier taping streamline PCB layout and automated assembly for volume production.
• Documented endurance: 2000 hours at 85°C endurance provides a clear specification for life-cycle planning and validation testing.
• Wide temperature span: −40°C to +85°C operation covers many industrial and in-vehicle environmental conditions.
