UPT2E680MHD Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The UPT2E680MHD is a 68 µF, 250 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor manufactured by Nichicon in radial, can package configuration. This component is rated for 5000 hours at 105°C and is designed for general-purpose applications requiring through-hole mounting. The part is currently active in production with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to support procurement flexibility, inventory management, and design continuity when the primary part becomes unavailable or when alternative performance characteristics are required.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the UPT2E680MHD is determined by strict equivalence in the following electrical parameters: capacitance value (68 µF), voltage rating (250 V), tolerance (±20%), polarization (polar), and operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 105°C). All identified substitute parts meet these core electrical requirements.

Mechanical compatibility is evaluated based on through-hole mounting configuration and radial, can package type. Lead spacing, diameter, and height variations are documented to support PCB layout verification during substitution.

Lifetime rating at 105°C is provided as a secondary parameter. The UPT2E680MHD specifies 5000 hours; substitute parts either match this specification or exceed it (10000 hours), representing enhanced reliability characteristics.

Compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH, ECCN, HTSUS) are consistent across all parts in this substitution group.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed are active products with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, matching the regulatory posture of the UPT2E680MHD.

EEU-EB2E680 and EEU-EB2E680S are direct electrical equivalents with 5000-hour lifetime ratings identical to the primary part. These Panasonic components feature increased ripple current capability (544.5 mA @ 120 Hz versus 360 mA) and are suitable for applications where the original part is unavailable. PCB layout verification is required due to lead spacing increase from 5.00mm to 7.50mm and dimensional variations.

EEU-ED2E680S and EEU-EE2E680S provide extended lifetime ratings of 10000 hours at 105°C, representing enhanced reliability for long-service-life applications. These parts maintain electrical equivalence while offering superior thermal endurance. Dimensional and lead spacing differences require PCB layout assessment prior to implementation.

Selection between substitute options depends on PCB layout constraints, lead spacing accommodation, and application lifetime requirements. All parts maintain electrical compatibility with the original UPT2E680MHD specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EEU-EB2E680 be used as a direct replacement for UPT2E680MHD on existing PCBs?

A: Electrical substitution is valid. However, lead spacing differs (7.50mm versus 5.00mm), requiring PCB layout verification. Diameter and height also increase, necessitating clearance confirmation in the assembly area.

Q: What is the primary difference between the 5000-hour and 10000-hour lifetime parts?

A: EEU-ED2E680S and EEU-EE2E680S are rated for 10000 hours at 105°C, compared to 5000 hours for UPT2E680MHD, EEU-EB2E680, and EEU-EB2E680S. This extended rating applies to thermal aging only; electrical parameters remain equivalent.

Q: Are all substitute parts through-hole mounted?

A: Yes. All parts in this substitution group are through-hole, radial, can package components. Surface-mount alternatives are not included in this reference.

Q: Do the substitute parts have different moisture sensitivity levels?

A: EEU-ED2E680S specifies MSL 1 (Unlimited); all other parts list MSL as Not Applicable. This difference does not affect electrical substitution but may impact storage and handling procedures.

Q: Which substitute part has the smallest physical footprint?

A: EEU-ED2E680S has the smallest height (0.787" / 20.00mm) and matches the diameter of EEU-EB2E680 and EEU-EE2E680S (0.630" / 16.00mm). The UPT2E680MHD is the smallest in diameter (0.492" / 12.50mm) but tallest (1.299" / 33.00mm).

Q: Are all parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All parts listed are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, maintaining regulatory equivalence with the primary UPT2E680MHD component.
