UVK2C680MHD

The UVK2C680MHD is a miniature-sized radial aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UVK series, offering 68 µF capacitance at a 160 V rating. Designed for general-purpose applications, it provides a compact form factor (φ12.5 × 20 mm) with radial leads and a 5 mm lead spacing for straightforward through-hole mounting.

Key value comes from a combination of high-voltage capability, defined ripple handling at both low and high frequencies, long endurance (2000 hours at 85°C), and RoHS compliance—making it suitable for a wide range of electronic power circuits where space and reliability matter.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 68 µF nominal capacitance with a 160 V rated voltage and ±20% capacitance tolerance for general-purpose power applications.
• Miniature Radial Package — Compact can size φ12.5 × 20 mm with radial lead configuration and 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), simplifying board placement in space-constrained designs.
• Ripple Current Performance — Low-frequency ripple current 350 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 560 mA at 10 kHz, specified to support both mains-frequency and higher-frequency filtering tasks.
• Loss and Leakage Characteristics — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.20 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) and specified leakage current of 535.2 µA for predictable electrical behavior.
• Reliability & Endurance — Rated life 2000 hours at 85°C with defined limits for capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage after endurance testing.
• Operating Environment — Specified operating temperature range of −40°C to +85°C for broad environmental applicability.
• Packaging Options — Available in Bulk (no terminal forming) or Bag packing to suit production and prototyping workflows.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Power supply filtering — Smoothing and decoupling in general-purpose power circuits where 160 V rating and 68 µF capacitance are required.
• High-voltage energy storage — Local energy buffering for DC link or intermediate circuits benefiting from the capacitor’s voltage rating and ripple current capability.
• Industrial and instrumentation electronics — Compact, radial through-hole solution for control and measurement equipment operating within −40°C to +85°C.

Unique Advantages

• Compact footprint: Miniature φ12.5 × 20 mm can reduces board space compared to larger electrolytic options.
• Defined ripple handling: Separate low- and high-frequency ripple current specifications (350 mA @120 Hz, 560 mA @10 kHz) allow designers to match the part to expected operating conditions.
• Predictable electrical behavior: Specified tan δ (0.20) and measured leakage current (535.2 µA) provide stable performance parameters for circuit design and simulation.
• Robust endurance: 2000 hours at 85°C rating helps in planning life expectancy and maintenance intervals for deployed systems.
• Flexible procurement: Bulk and bag packaging options accommodate both prototype and production ordering needs.
• RoHS compliant: Conforms to current RoHS requirements for environmental substance restrictions.
