UWD0J680MCL1GS

The UWD0J680MCL1GS is a chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UWD series, designed for surface-mount assembly and high-temperature reflow processes. It delivers 68 µF capacitance at 6.3 V with a low-impedance construction suitable for dense PCB layouts and automated tape-fed placement.

Targeted use cases include electronics that require reliable bulk or decoupling capacitance across a wide operating temperature range (−55 °C to +105 °C) and exposure to 260 °C peak reflow soldering. The part is RoHS compliant and AEC-Q200 qualified for environments that require enhanced reliability.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 68 µF rated capacitance at 6.3 V, polarized electrolytic for bulk energy storage and decoupling.
• Low Impedance — Specified impedance of 440 mΩ to support lower ripple and improved transient handling in power rails.
• High-Temperature Reflow Compatibility — Chip-type construction corresponding with 260 °C peak reflow soldering; recommended reflow: 260 °C peak for 5 seconds, and 230 °C over 60 seconds (two cycles; φ10 × 10: one cycle).
• Wide Operating Range — Rated for −55 °C to +105 °C operation with endurance specified as 2000 hours at 105 °C.
• Ripple Performance — Ripple current ratings of 115 mA at 120 Hz and 230 mA at 10 kHz for both low- and high-frequency decoupling roles.
• Surface-Mount Package — Chip (can) SMD package designed for high-density PCBs and automatic mounting using carrier tape.
• Quality & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and compliant with RoHS directives (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Tolerance & Polarization — Capacitance tolerance ±20%; polarized component for correct orientation during assembly.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Engine control modules, in-vehicle power supplies and other automotive subsystems where AEC-Q200 qualification and high-temperature assembly are required.
• Power Supply Decoupling — Bulk and local decoupling on high-density power rails that require low impedance and reliable ripple handling.
• Industrial Controls — Power management and control boards exposed to wide temperature ranges and robust soldering profiles.

Unique Advantages

• Reflow-Ready for High-Temperature Assembly: Built to withstand 260 °C peak reflow processes with specified reflow profiles, simplifying integration into modern lead-free SMT workflows.
• Automated Assembly Compatibility: Designed for tape-fed automatic mounting, easing high-volume production and improving placement reliability.
• Thermal Endurance: Rated for continuous operation up to +105 °C with a 2000-hour endurance specification at that temperature, supporting designs that require sustained thermal performance.
• AEC-Q200 Qualification: Qualification supports higher reliability requirements for applications that demand component-level robustness and consistency.
• Balanced Ripple Handling: Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies (120 Hz and 10 kHz) to address a range of power-conditioning needs.
