UUG2C680MNQ6MS

The UUG2C680MNQ6MS is a surface-mount aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UUG family, optimized for board-level power decoupling and bulk energy storage in higher-voltage systems. It combines a 68 µF capacitance with a 160 V rating and AEC‑Q200 qualification for use in demanding automotive and industrial environments.

Designed as a chip-type SMD can (φ12.5×21 mm), it delivers reliable ripple handling, low dissipation factor, and long endurance for designs that require compact, high-voltage electrolytic capacitance.

Key Features

• Electrical — Capacitance & Voltage: 68 µF nominal capacitance with a 160 V rated voltage and tolerance of -20% to +20%.
• Low Loss Characteristics: Tangent of loss angle (tanδ) 0.08 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz for reduced dissipation and lower self-heating under AC stress.
• Ripple Current Performance: Rated low-frequency ripple current 500 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 800 mA at 10 kHz to support filtering and smoothing across frequencies.
• Reliability & Endurance: Life rating of 2000 hours at 85°C with specified endurance characteristics maintained after restoration to 20°C.
• Operating Range & Qualification: Specified for operation from -40°C to +85°C and carries an AEC‑Q200 rating for automotive-grade reliability.
• Package & Mounting: Chip-type radial SMD can, size φ12.5×21 mm (L: 2.1×D: 1.25 cm) for compact board-level integration; supplied in embossed carrier taping for automated placement.
• Leakage Current: Specified leakage current of 535.2 µA (measured after 1 minute at 20°C under rated voltage).

Typical Applications

• Automotive power electronics: Board-level bulk decoupling and smoothing on higher-voltage circuits where AEC‑Q200 qualification and a 160 V rating are required.
• Control modules: Surface-mount can package and embossed taping make the part suitable for compact electronic control units and modules.
• Power conversion and filtering: High-frequency ripple current capability (800 mA at 10 kHz) supports filtering in DC‑DC converters and power-supply stages.

Unique Advantages

• AEC‑Q200 qualification: Designed to meet automotive reliability expectations for use in vehicle electronics and related applications.
• High-voltage capability: 160 V rating enables use on elevated DC rails without series stacking or complex topologies.
• Compact SMD can format: φ12.5×21 mm chip-type package delivers substantial capacitance density for conservative board area usage.
• Broad ripple performance: Separate low- and high-frequency ripple ratings (500 mA @120 Hz, 800 mA @10 kHz) provide predictable behavior across typical power-spectrum conditions.
• Long endurance at elevated temperature: 2000 hour rating at 85°C supports extended operation in thermally stressed environments.
• Controlled dissipation factor: tanδ of 0.08 (20°C, 120 Hz) helps minimize dielectric losses in AC-loaded applications.
