UWF1A680MCL1GB

The UWF1A680MCL1GB is a chip-type, low-impedance aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UWF series, specified for surface-mount use on high-density printed circuit boards. It delivers 68 µF at 10 V in a compact radial can SMD package and is compatible with carrier-tape automated placement.

Engineered for demanding temperature environments, this capacitor is rated for operation from -55 °C to +105 °C, meets RoHS requirements, and is AEC‑Q200 compliant, making it suitable for automotive and other high-reliability applications with a guaranteed endurance of 1000 hours at +105 °C.

Key Features

• Chip-type, Low Impedance — Designed to provide reduced impedance (specified 1.3 Ω) for effective decoupling in compact power rails.
• Capacitance and Voltage — 68 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 10 V and tolerance of ±20% at 120 Hz, 20 °C.
• High Temperature Endurance — Rated for continuous operation from -55 °C to +105 °C with endurance specified as 1000 hours at +105 °C.
• Package and Mounting — Radial can SMD package optimized for surface mounting on high-density PCBs; compatible with carrier-tape feeding for automated assembly.
• Automotive-Grade Reliability — AEC‑Q200 compliant and RoHS‑compliant construction for regulated markets and applications.
• Ripple Handling — Ripple current specified as 57.5 mA at 120 Hz and 115 mA at 10 kHz, with frequency coefficients available in the series datasheet.
• Physical Footprint — Compact size: L: 5.4 × D: 6.3 mm; recommended land pattern L: 6.6 × W: 6.6 mm for surface-mount assembly.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Suitable for electronic control modules and other automotive systems that require AEC‑Q200 compliance and operation up to +105 °C.
• High-Density SMD Boards — Intended for surface mounting on tightly packed PCBs where compact, automated placement is required.
• Surface-Mount Power Assemblies — Used where a polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial can SMD package is preferred for power decoupling and smoothing.

Unique Advantages

• Automotive-Grade Qualification: AEC‑Q200 compliance and a -55 °C to +105 °C operating range support use in temperature-critical systems.
• Compact SMD Form Factor: Radial can SMD package with a small footprint (5.4 × 6.3 mm) saves board space on high-density PCBs.
• Automated Assembly Ready: Carrier‑tape compatibility streamlines pick‑and‑place for high-volume manufacturing.
• High-Temperature Endurance: Specified 1000 hours at +105 °C provides clear endurance characterization for thermal stress planning.
• Measured Ripple Performance: Provided ripple current specifications at 120 Hz and 10 kHz allow accurate thermal and ripple budgeting in power designs.
