Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the URZ2D680MHD is determined by the following criteria:

Primary Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance: 68 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Radial, Can (exact match required)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Voltage - Rated: May be equal to or higher than 200 V
• Lifetime @ Temp.: May be equal to or higher than 1000 Hrs @ 105°C
• Lead Spacing: May vary within mechanical compatibility constraints
• Size / Dimension: May vary within mechanical compatibility constraints
• Height - Seated (Max): May vary within mechanical compatibility constraints
• Ripple Current: May vary based on voltage and lifetime ratings

Substitute Categories:

Upgrade Substitutes (higher voltage rating, extended lifetime):

• UCS2V680MHD6 (Nichicon): 350 V, 10000 Hrs @ 105°C
• 400BXW68MEFR18X20 (Rubycon): 400 V, 10000 Hrs @ 105°C

Similar Substitutes (same voltage rating, extended lifetime or different mechanical form factor):

• UCY2D680MPD (Nichicon): 200 V, 12000 Hrs @ 105°C
• EKXG201ELL680MK20S (Chemi-Con): 200 V, 10000 Hrs @ 105°C

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

UCS2V680MHD6 (Nichicon UCS Series)

This upgrade substitute provides 350 V rated voltage with 10000-hour lifetime at 105°C. The identical lead spacing (7.50mm) and can diameter (18.00mm) ensure direct mechanical compatibility with the URZ2D680MHD footprint. ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status maintain regulatory alignment. Selection of this part is appropriate when higher voltage margin or extended operational lifetime is required within the same physical envelope.

UCY2D680MPD (Nichicon UCY Series)

This similar substitute maintains the 200 V voltage rating with extended 12000-hour lifetime at 105°C. The reduced lead spacing (5.00mm) and smaller can diameter (10.00mm) require PCB layout verification. ROHS3 compliance is maintained; however, REACH Affected status requires compliance verification in applicable jurisdictions. Selection of this part is appropriate when extended lifetime is prioritized and mechanical form factor adjustment is feasible.

400BXW68MEFR18X20 (Rubycon BXW Series)

This upgrade substitute from Rubycon provides 400 V rated voltage with 10000-hour lifetime at 105°C. The identical lead spacing (7.50mm) and nearly identical can diameter (18.00mm) with minimal height variation (22.00mm vs. 21.50mm) ensure direct mechanical compatibility. ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status maintain regulatory alignment. Selection of this part is appropriate when higher voltage margin is required with extended lifetime from an alternative manufacturer.

EKXG201ELL680MK20S (Chemi-Con KXG Series)

This similar substitute maintains the 200 V voltage rating with 10000-hour lifetime at 105°C. The reduced lead spacing (5.00mm) and smaller can diameter (12.50mm) require PCB layout verification. ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status maintain regulatory alignment. Selection of this part is appropriate when extended lifetime is required with regulatory compliance priority and mechanical form factor adjustment is feasible.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UCS2V680MHD6 be used as a direct replacement for URZ2D680MHD?

A: Yes. The UCS2V680MHD6 shares identical lead spacing (7.50mm), can diameter (18.00mm), and height (21.50mm) with the URZ2D680MHD. The 350 V rating provides higher voltage margin while maintaining the same 68 µF capacitance and ±20% tolerance. Extended lifetime (10000 Hrs vs. 1000 Hrs @ 105°C) is an additional benefit.

Q: What is the difference between upgrade and similar substitutes?

A: Upgrade substitutes (UCS2V680MHD6 and 400BXW68MEFR18X20) provide higher voltage ratings (350 V and 400 V respectively) compared to the original 200 V specification. Similar substitutes (UCY2D680MPD and EKXG201ELL680MK20S) maintain the 200 V voltage rating but offer extended lifetime ratings. Both categories maintain the core 68 µF capacitance and ±20% tolerance.

Q: Are UCY2D680MPD and EKXG201ELL680MK20S mechanically compatible with the original footprint?

A: Both parts have reduced lead spacing (5.00mm vs. 7.50mm) and smaller can diameters compared to the URZ2D680MHD. PCB layout verification is required before substitution. The height specifications differ: UCY2D680MPD is 33.00mm (taller) and EKXG201ELL680MK20S is 20.00mm (shorter) compared to the original 21.50mm.

Q: Do all substitute parts maintain RoHS3 compliance?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed are ROHS3 Compliant. However, UCY2D680MPD carries REACH Affected status, requiring compliance verification in applicable regulatory jurisdictions. All other substitutes maintain REACH Unaffected status.

Q: What is the ripple current difference between the main part and substitutes?

A: The URZ2D680MHD specifies 350 mA @ 120 Hz ripple current. Substitutes provide higher ripple current ratings: UCS2V680MHD6 (687.5 mA @ 120 Hz), UCY2D680MPD (485 mA @ 120 Hz), 400BXW68MEFR18X20 (530 mA @ 120 Hz), and EKXG201ELL680MK20S (470 mA @ 120 Hz). Higher ripple current capacity is a benefit in applications with elevated AC current stress.

Q: Can 400BXW68MEFR18X20 from Rubycon be used instead of Nichicon parts?

A: Yes. The 400BXW68MEFR18X20 maintains identical lead spacing (7.50mm) and can diameter (18.00mm) with negligible height difference (22.00mm vs. 21.50mm). All electrical parameters (68 µF, ±20%, 400 V, 10000 Hrs @ 105°C) and compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected) support direct substitution.
