UWD1C680MCL1GS

The UWD1C680MCL1GS is a chip‑type aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for surface mount use on high‑density PCBs. It delivers 68 µF at 16 V in a compact φ6.3 × 5.8 mm can with low impedance characteristics and high‑temperature reflow compatibility.

Engineered for demanding environments, this part supports a wide operating range from −55 °C to +105 °C, 2,000‑hour endurance at 105 °C, and AEC‑Q200 qualification, making it well suited for automotive and industrial power filtering and decoupling applications.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 68 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 16 V and ±20% tolerance for bulk decoupling and local energy storage.
• Low Impedance Performance — Specified impedance of 440 mΩ and a tangent of loss angle (tanδ) of 0.16 (measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz) for improved ripple handling and stable AC behavior.
• Ripple Current Ratings — Low‑frequency ripple current 115 mA (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current 230 mA (10 kHz) to support both mains‑frequency and switching converter environments.
• High‑Temperature Reflow Compatible — Chip type designed for 260 °C peak reflow (recommended: 260 °C peak for 5 s; 230 °C for over 60 s) to accommodate modern SMT assembly processes.
• Robust Thermal & Endurance Specs — Operating temperature range −55 °C to +105 °C with a rated lifetime of 2,000 hours at 105 °C (endurance conditions per datasheet).
• Compact SMD Can Package — φ6.3 × 5.8 mm radial can (SMD), surface mount land size 6.6 × 6.6 mm, compatible with automated placement from embossed carrier taping.
• Reliability & Compliance — AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, suitable for applications requiring industry reliability standards.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power electronics — Local decoupling and bulk filtering in control modules and power supplies where AEC‑Q200 qualification and high‑temperature assembly are required.
• DC–DC converters and voltage regulators — Energy storage and ripple suppression for switching converters operating across a broad temperature range.
• Infotainment and telematics — Compact, low‑impedance smoothing capacitors for audio power rails and supply conditioning on dense PCBs.

Unique Advantages

• High‑temperature assembly compatible: Designed for 260 °C peak reflow, enabling reliable placement in modern SMT production flows.
• Low impedance for better ripple performance: 440 mΩ impedance and measured tanδ of 0.16 help reduce voltage ripple and improve power‑rail stability.
• Automotive‑grade reliability: AEC‑Q200 qualification and 2,000 h endurance at 105 °C support long‑term performance in demanding environments.
• Compact footprint: φ6.3 × 5.8 mm SMD can fits high‑density boards while providing 68 µF of capacitance for space‑constrained designs.
• Assembly‑ready packaging: Supplied in embossed carrier taping for automated pick‑and‑place and consistent throughput in production.
• Measured ripple and leakage data: Specified LF/HF ripple currents (115 mA / 230 mA) and leakage current (10.88 µA) allow predictable thermal and bias planning.
