Overview of UWF1E680MCL1GS – Chip Type Low Impedance Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The UWF1E680MCL1GS is a chip-type, low-impedance aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for surface mounting on high-density PC boards. It is carrier-tape compatible for automatic mounting machines and is compliant with RoHS directives and AEC-Q200 requirements for automotive electronics.
Designed to operate across −55°C to +105°C with a rated capacitance of 68 µF at 25 V, this capacitor targets applications that require compact surface-mount capacitors with defined ripple current and endurance characteristics. This product is scheduled to be discontinued and is not recommended for new designs.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Rated Voltage — 68 µF capacitance with a 25 V rated voltage for decoupling and energy storage in compact designs.
- Low Impedance — Specified impedance of 800 mΩ to support low-impedance circuit requirements.
- Temperature Range & Endurance — Operating temperature −55°C to +105°C with an endurance rating of 1000 hours at 105°C.
- Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 75 mA at 120 Hz and 150 mA at 10 kHz for AC stress handling in pulsed or switching environments.
- Tolerance & Polarization — Capacitance tolerance ±20% and polarized construction.
- Automotive Qualification — AEC-Q200 compliant; listed application category: Automotive.
- RoHS Compliance — Conforms to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
- Surface-Mount Package — Radial can SMD chip package sized L: 6.2 × D: 8 mm with recommended land size L: 8.3 × W: 8.3 mm, suitable for automatic tape feeding.
- Leakage Current Specification — After 2 minutes' application of rated voltage at 20°C, leakage current is specified as not more than 0.01CV or 3 µA, whichever is greater.
Typical Applications
- Automotive electronics — AEC-Q200 compliance and the −55°C to +105°C temperature range make it suitable for automotive electronic modules.
- High-density surface-mount PCBs — Designed for surface mounting on tightly packed PC boards and compatible with automatic mounting machines fed with carrier tape.
- RoHS-compliant assemblies — Intended for use in assemblies that require RoHS directive conformity.
Unique Advantages
- High-temperature endurance: Rated for continuous operation up to +105°C with 1000 hours endurance at that temperature, supporting demanding thermal environments.
- Defined low-impedance performance: 800 mΩ impedance provides predictable behavior in applications requiring low ESR-like characteristics.
- Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 compliance addresses reliability expectations for automotive applications.
- Assembly-friendly package: Chip-type radial can SMD format and carrier-tape compatibility simplify automated placement on high-density boards.
- Clear leakage limits: Measured leakage current limits (0.01CV or 3 µA after 2 minutes at 20°C) support predictable long-term behavior in designs.
- Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity helps meet regulatory requirements for restricted substances.
