UAS2D680MHD1TO Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The UAS2D680MHD1TO is a 68 µF, 200 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial configuration manufactured by Nichicon. This component is rated for 2000 hours at 105°C and is designed for general-purpose applications requiring reliable energy storage and filtering in power supply circuits. The part is currently active and available in Tape & Box packaging.

Substitute parts become necessary when the primary part reaches end-of-life status, inventory constraints occur, or when design flexibility is required across manufacturing batches. The UVY2D680MHD1TO serves as a parametric equivalent, though it carries a "Not For New Designs" status and differs in packaging format and ripple current specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the UAS2D680MHD1TO is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Capacitance: 68 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 200 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Lifetime: 2000 Hrs @ 105°C (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 105°C (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 5.00 mm (exact match required)
• Case Diameter: 12.50 mm (exact match required)
• Height: 27.00 mm (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)

The UVY2D680MHD1TO meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters. Differences exist in packaging format (Cut Tape versus Tape & Box) and ripple current specifications, which do not affect functional equivalence in general-purpose applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The UAS2D680MHD1TO is the preferred selection for new designs due to its Active product status and higher ripple current ratings (320 mA @ 120 Hz, 512 mA @ 10 kHz). This part provides superior performance margin in applications subject to AC ripple stress.

The UVY2D680MHD1TO is suitable for legacy system maintenance and field replacement where the primary part is unavailable. Its "Not For New Designs" status reflects Nichicon's product lifecycle management; however, it maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the UAS2D680MHD1TO. The lower ripple current specification (250 mA @ 120 Hz, 287.5 mA @ 10 kHz) requires verification that the application does not exceed these limits.

Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the UVY2D680MHD1TO be used as a direct replacement for the UAS2D680MHD1TO in new designs?

A: The UVY2D680MHD1TO is electrically and mechanically equivalent and will function in the same circuit. However, Nichicon designates it as "Not For New Designs." New designs should specify the UAS2D680MHD1TO. Existing designs using the UVY2D680MHD1TO may continue without modification.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Box and Cut Tape packaging?

A: Tape & Box (TB) packaging includes a protective box for bulk quantities, suitable for inventory management and manual component handling. Cut Tape (CT) packaging provides individual tape segments, typically used in automated assembly environments. Both formats contain identical components; the difference is logistical only.

Q: Are the ripple current differences between these parts significant?

A: The UAS2D680MHD1TO supports higher ripple currents (320 mA @ 120 Hz, 512 mA @ 10 kHz) compared to the UVY2D680MHD1TO (250 mA @ 120 Hz, 287.5 mA @ 10 kHz). Applications operating near or exceeding the UVY2D680MHD1TO ripple current limits should use the UAS2D680MHD1TO to ensure adequate thermal margin and component longevity.

Q: Do both parts meet current compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the UAS2D680MHD1TO and UVY2D680MHD1TO are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental regulations for electronic components.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical lead spacing (5.00 mm), case diameter (12.50 mm), and height (27.00 mm), ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility on the same through-hole footprint.
