UVK2A680MPD

The UVK2A680MPD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UVK series. It provides 68 µF nominal capacitance with a 100 V rated voltage in a compact φ10 × 12.5 mm can package and is intended for general-purpose circuit use.

Designed for board-level through-hole mounting, the component combines a miniature case size, polarized construction, and RoHS compliance for use where compact, reliable capacitance is required, with a rated endurance of 2000 hours at 85°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 68 µF nominal with ±20% tolerance (120 Hz, 20°C).
• Rated Voltage — 100 V DC rated voltage suitable for higher-voltage general-purpose circuits.
• Ripple Current Performance — Low-frequency ripple current: 270 mA at 120 Hz; high-frequency ripple current: 540 mA at 10 kHz.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 204 µA after voltage application.
• Endurance & Temperature — Life rating of 2000 hours at 85°C; operating temperature range −40°C to +85°C.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, polarized aluminum can; case size φ10 × 12.5 mm with 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm).
• Packaging Options — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing; product is in mass production.
• RoHS Compliance — Compliant to RoHS directive as stated for the UVK series.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose Circuits — For designers specifying a polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor at 68 µF and 100 V for board-level use where a radial-lead package is preferred.
• Space-Constrained Designs — Suited to applications requiring a miniature case (φ10 × 12.5 mm) and 5 mm lead spacing for compact PCB layouts.
• Production and Prototyping — Offered in bulk or bag packing and available in mass production for straightforward integration into through-hole assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• Compact Miniature Case: φ10 × 12.5 mm can reduces board area compared to larger electrolytic options in the same series.
• High Voltage Capability: 100 V rating provides margin for higher-voltage general-purpose circuits requiring polarized capacitance.
• Dual-Frequency Ripple Ratings: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz (270 mA) and 10 kHz (540 mA) support designs where filtering at multiple frequencies is a consideration.
• Long-Term Endurance: 2000 hours at 85°C gives a defined life expectancy for elevated-temperature applications within the specified range.
• Through-Hole Simplicity: Radial-lead mounting and standard 5 mm lead spacing ease hand-assembly and prototyping workflows.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS-compliant construction supports regulatory requirements for many commercial and industrial products.
