Product Overview
Published parts data lists Panasonic's ECU-V as an obsolete general usage surface mount ceramic family. The close frame is a tight macro of three pockets, sprocket holes along the top, dark maroon bodies with broad bright silver end bands, and the cut edge of the paper tape running clean along the bottom of the picture. In the wider frame the strip lies on a white paper slip inside a clear bag on a green mat, its cut left end inside the picture and about nine filled pockets before it leaves at the right, with a small pinch of the bag film standing up near that left end. Ten is the count on the shelf for this part number, and they sell one at a time.
Key Features
- Capacitance: 68 pF, from this listing's own name and the 680 capacitance code
- Voltage: 50 V DC (1H voltage code, per Panasonic's published ECU series data)
- Tolerance: +/-5% (J code, per Panasonic's published ECU series data), a band of 64.6 pF to 71.4 pF
- Temperature characteristic: C0G, 0 +/-30 ppm/degC (C code, per the same published data)
- Package: surface mount chip, two terminals, reflow, per published ECU series data
- Operating temperature: -55 degC to +125 degC, per published ECU series data for this family
- Series: Panasonic (Matsushita) ECU-V general usage multilayer ceramic chip capacitor, lifecycle listed obsolete in published parts data
- Case size is not confirmed in published data for this part number, and the trailing M has no published meaning, so we state neither
- Verify against Panasonic's published ECU series data before designing in.
Applications
- Oscillator tank and load networks
- RF coupling and decoupling at higher frequencies
- PLL loop filter positions
- Like-for-like repair on legacy surface mount boards
Frequently Asked Questions
How many should I order?
Order the count the board needs. Ten of this part number are on the shelf, sold one at a time rather than in a set pack, so a repair and a couple of spares come off the same strip in one order. Shipping is $8 flat rate and free on orders over $28, so small parts like this ship smartest as part of a larger order.
Can I tell these apart once they are loose?
Not by eye. No printed value is visible on the ceramic in these photos, so a loose piece cannot be told from a neighboring value on the bench. Ten is the count for this part number, so ordering fewer than ten leaves the rest of the strip here. If you are hand placing them, keep the values separated as you work and meter one before it goes on a board.
Sixty-eight picofarads, still seated in tape, waiting on an oscillator that will not start without it.
