Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the UPV1A680MFD is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 68 µF (exact match required)
• Rated voltage: 10 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 105°C (exact match required)
• Lead spacing: 0.079" (2.00 mm) (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.197" Dia × 0.492" Height (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through Hole, Radial, Can package (exact match required)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (maintained)

The UPM1A680MDD meets all mechanical and electrical compatibility criteria for direct substitution in the same PCB footprint and circuit application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the UPV1A680MFD and UPM1A680MDD are obsolete products from Nichicon. The UPM1A680MDD provides electrical and mechanical compatibility for direct substitution in applications requiring the UPV1A680MFD footprint and electrical specifications.

The UPM1A680MDD carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and is rated for 2000 hours at 105°C, compared to the UPV1A680MFD's 5000-hour rating. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical physical dimensions, lead spacing, and voltage/capacitance ratings.

The UPM1A680MDD exhibits lower impedance (800 mOhms versus 1.4 Ohms), which may provide improved ripple current handling characteristics in the application circuit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the UPM1A680MDD replace the UPV1A680MFD in existing designs?

A: Yes. The UPM1A680MDD is mechanically and electrically compatible. Both components share identical capacitance (68 µF), voltage rating (10 V), tolerance (±20%), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C), lead spacing (2.00 mm), and physical dimensions (5.00 mm diameter × 12.50 mm height). Both are through-hole radial can packages suitable for the same PCB footprint.

Q: What is the difference in lifetime ratings between these parts?

A: The UPV1A680MFD is rated for 5000 hours at 105°C, while the UPM1A680MDD is rated for 2000 hours at 105°C. This difference reflects different design specifications within the Nichicon product portfolio. Application requirements determine whether this difference is significant for your circuit.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The UPV1A680MFD is supplied in standard packaging, while the UPM1A680MDD is supplied in bulk packaging. Both components are identical in physical form factor and electrical specifications. Packaging differences do not affect component performance or PCB compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet current compliance standards?

A: Both the UPV1A680MFD and UPM1A680MDD are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both carry EAR99 ECCN classification and 8532.22.0020 HTSUS code.

Q: What is the impedance difference, and does it matter?

A: The UPM1A680MDD has lower impedance (800 mOhms) compared to the UPV1A680MFD (1.4 Ohms). Lower impedance generally provides better ripple current handling. Circuit-specific requirements determine whether this characteristic is relevant to your application.
