Overview of UVK1V680MED – Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, Radial Lead
The UVK1V680MED is a miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial-lead can, offering 68 μF capacitance at a 35 V rating. Designed for general-purpose applications, it delivers compact energy storage with defined ripple handling and endurance for industrial and consumer electronic circuits.
Key electrical characteristics include a -40°C to 85°C operating range, 2000 hours endurance at 85°C, and RoHS compliance. Its small φ6.3 × 11 mm can and 2.5 mm lead spacing support space-constrained radial-lead designs.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 68 μF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 35 V and tolerance of -20% to +20% for predictable decoupling and energy storage.
- Miniature Radial Package — φ6.3 × 11 mm can with 2.5 mm lead spacing and 0.5 mm lead spacing tolerance, suitable for compact, through-hole assemblies.
- Ripple Handling — Low-frequency ripple current 160 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 320 mA (10 kHz), enabling use in power smoothing and local decoupling roles.
- Electrical Loss and Leakage — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.14 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) and specified leakage current of 71.4 μA.
- Endurance & Temperature Range — Rated for 2000 hours at 85°C with operating temperature from -40°C to 85°C, supporting extended service in moderate-temperature environments.
- Polarized Design & Packaging — Polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor supplied bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packed for flexible procurement and assembly.
- Regulatory — RoHS compliant.
Typical Applications
- Power Supply Smoothing — Local smoothing and bulk decoupling in low-voltage power rails where a compact 35 V, 68 μF capacitor is required.
- Consumer Electronics — Space-limited consumer devices that require radial-lead components for through-hole assembly and board-level energy storage.
- Industrial Control — General-purpose filtering and decoupling in control and instrumentation electronics operating within -40°C to 85°C.
Unique Advantages
- Compact footprint: φ6.3 × 11 mm can provides a small form factor for designs constrained by board space.
- Defined ripple capability: Separate low- and high-frequency ripple current specs (160 mA at 120 Hz, 320 mA at 10 kHz) help designers size bypassing for both mains and switching noise.
- Measured loss characteristics: tan δ of 0.14 (20°C, 120 Hz) gives a quantifiable measure of dissipation for thermal and performance calculations.
- Long-duration endurance: 2000 hours at 85°C supports reliable performance over extended duty cycles in rated conditions.
- Through-hole convenience: Radial-lead can and standard 2.5 mm lead spacing simplify prototyping, repair, and through-hole assembly processes.
- RoHS compliant: Meets environmental requirements for lead-free applications.
