UVK2G680MHD

The UVK2G680MHD from Nichicon is a miniature radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the UVK series, rated at 68 µF and 400 V. Designed as a standard-type, polarized can-style capacitor, it serves general-purpose electronic designs that require a compact, high-voltage through-hole capacitor.

With a -40 °C to 85 °C operating range, a 2000-hour endurance at 85 °C, and RoHS compliance, this part is suited for applications where reliable, long-life performance and compact size are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 68 µF rated capacitance with a 400 V rated voltage for high-voltage general-purpose designs.
• Polarized Radial-Lead Package: Radial lead mounting, φ16 × 30.5 mm can size and 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) for through-hole assembly and prototyping.
• Temperature Range: Operates from -40 °C to 85 °C to cover a wide range of ambient conditions.
• Endurance: Rated life of 2000 hours at 85 °C with specified limits on capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage current after the endurance test.
• Ripple Current Performance: Low-frequency ripple current 340 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 544 mA (10 kHz) to support varying ripple environments.
• Leakage and Dissipation: Leakage current specified at 1188 µA and tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.25 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz.
• Packaging & Availability: Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing; status: mass production.
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronic designs: Provides 68 µF/400 V polarized capacitance where a compact radial-lead electrolytic is required.
• Through-hole assemblies and prototypes: Radial-lead can style and standard lead spacing simplify assembly and repair tasks.
• Replacement and maintenance: Suitable for service and refurbishment of equipment that specifies a 68 µF, 400 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability: 400 V rating enables use in circuits requiring higher DC voltages without upsizing the capacitor.
• Compact miniature size: φ16 × 30.5 mm footprint delivers significant capacitance in a reduced can size for space-constrained designs.
• Measured ripple handling: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz support performance across low- and high-frequency ripple conditions.
• Extended endurance: 2000 hours at 85 °C provides predictable life characteristics for designs with defined thermal profiles.
• Clear performance data: Specified tan δ and leakage current values measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz enable easier design verification and selection.
• RoHS compliant: Meets environmental requirements for lead-free manufacturing and assembly processes.
