• High Voltage Rating — 450 V rated voltage suitable for high-voltage DC applications within its specified range.
• High-Temperature Endurance — Specified lifetime of 2000 hours at 105°C under D.C. bias plus rated ripple current; meets endurance criteria for capacitance, tan δ, and leakage current after recovery to 20°C.
• Operating Temperature Range — Rated for continuous operation from -25°C to +105°C.
• Snap-In Radial Can Package — Snap-in terminal type and radial can package for secure board-level mounting; compact dimensions listed as L: 5 × D: 3 cm with a maximum seated height of 1.969 inch.
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple currents of 1.66 A at 120 Hz and 2.374 A at 50 kHz, with frequency coefficients provided for frequency scaling of allowable ripple.
• Electrical Characteristics — Leakage current specified as I ≤ 3√(CV) µA after 5 minutes at rated voltage and 20°C; tan δ limits provided (max. 0.20 at 450 V, measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Stability at Low Temperature — Impedance ratio Z(–25°C)/Z(+20°C) specified with a maximum of 8 to characterize low-temperature impedance behavior.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power filtering — For circuits requiring 560 µF at 450 V and operation up to 105°C, where reliable smoothing and decoupling are needed.
• High-temperature installations — Designed for assemblies that require components rated for continuous operation and endurance testing at 105°C.
• Snap-in board-level mounting — Suited to designs that use radial, snap-in cans for secure mechanical and electrical mounting on PC boards.
• Frequency-sensitive designs — Useful where specified ripple current values and frequency coefficient data are used to size capacitors for both low- and high-frequency ripple conditions.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability: 450 V rating enables use in high-voltage DC applications within the product's specified limits.
• Compact snap-in package: Radial, snap-in can and the listed dimensions (L: 5 × D: 3 cm) provide a space-efficient solution for board-level placements.
• High-temperature endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C under rated conditions supports long-term reliability in elevated-temperature environments.
• Defined ripple handling: Published ripple current values at 120 Hz and 50 kHz, plus frequency coefficients, make it straightforward to size for ripple dissipation.
• Measured electrical limits: Specified leakage current formula and tan δ limits give clear, testable electrical performance criteria.
