• Ripple Current & Endurance — Low-frequency ripple current 3.74 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 4.301 A at 50 kHz; rated to withstand 3,000 hours of operation under rated ripple current at 105°C.
• Thermal Range — Operating temperature range from −40°C to 105°C, suitable for a wide range of environmental conditions.
• Electrical Loss & Leakage — Tangent of loss angle (tanδ) max 0.35 at 20°C, 120 Hz for 35 V parts; measured leakage current is 2,170 µA.
• Package & Mounting — Snap-in radial can package (φ30 × 45 L, L: 4.5 cm × D: 3 cm) for secure board mounting; supplied in tray packing for handling and assembly.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power circuitry — Provides bulk capacitance for power rails and smoothing in general-purpose electronic equipment where a polarized snap-in capacitor is required.
• Power filtering and ripple management — Supports high ripple current (3.74 A @120 Hz; 4.301 A @50 kHz) for applications that need sustained ripple endurance at elevated temperatures.
• Industrial and commercial equipment — Operates across −40°C to 105°C and is specified for 3,000 hours at 105°C, making it suitable for long-term use in demanding environments.
• Board-level bulk energy storage — Large 15,000 µF capacitance in a compact snap-in can for board-mounted energy storage and decoupling tasks.
