UVY1H680MED

The UVY1H680MED is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UVY series, offering 68 µF capacitance at a 50 V rating in a compact φ6.3 × 11 mm can. It is specified for general-purpose electronic use and is supplied with radial leads for through-hole mounting.

Key electrical characteristics include a tolerance of -20% to +20%, tanδ of 0.12 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz), leakage current of 102 µA, low- and high-frequency ripple current ratings, and a rated lifetime of 1000 hours at 105°C. Note: this part is listed as End Of Life.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance: 68 µF with a tolerance of -20% to +20%, suitable for general-purpose bulk and decoupling tasks.
• Rated Voltage: 50 V DC rating for moderate-voltage circuits.
• Loss Tangent (tanδ): tanδ = 0.12 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, enabling predictable AC loss behavior in design calculations.
• Ripple Current Capability: Low-frequency ripple current 150 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 300 mA (10 kHz), supporting both mains-frequency and higher-frequency ripple conditions.
• Leakage Current: Specified leakage current of 102 µA after voltage application, useful for standby and bias considerations.
• Temperature and Endurance: Operating range -55°C to +105°C with a rated endurance of 1000 hours at 105°C.
• Compact Radial Package: Case size φ6.3 × 11 mm, radial lead spacing 2.5 mm (±0.5 mm), designed for through-hole mounting and easy placement in constrained layouts.
• Packaging Options: Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing for flexible procurement and handling.
• RoHS Compliance: Compliant with RoHS requirements as noted for the UVY series.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power filtering — 68 µF at 50 V provides capacitance for smoothing and bulk energy storage in general electronic power circuits.
• Board-level decoupling — Radial-lead format and compact φ6.3 × 11 mm footprint suit through-hole decoupling use in mixed-technology assemblies.
• Standby and bias circuits — Low leakage current and specified endurance make the part suitable where predictable leakage and lifetime at elevated temperature are required.

Unique Advantages

• Compact footprint: φ6.3 × 11 mm can reduces board space compared to larger electrolytic options while retaining useful capacitance.
• Wide operating temperature: Rated from -55°C to +105°C, supporting designs that must operate across broad ambient conditions.
• Defined high-temperature endurance: 1000 hours at 105°C gives a clear, verifiable lifetime metric for thermal stress planning.
• Frequency-aware ripple ratings: Separate low-frequency (150 mA at 120 Hz) and high-frequency (300 mA at 10 kHz) ripple values help match the part to expected ripple environments.
• Predictable electrical loss: Specified tanδ at measurement conditions enables precise loss and heating estimates in AC performance assessments.
• RoHS compliant and series pedigree: Part of the Nichicon UVY series, noted for a wide temperature range and RoHS conformity.
