Key Features

• Rated Capacitance and Voltage — 100 µF capacitance rated at 400 V for medium-energy storage and DC applications.
• 105°C Endurance — Designed to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C, with defined limits for capacitance change, tan δ and leakage after endurance testing.
• Snap‑in Radial Can Package — Snap‑in terminal type (radial, can - snap‑in) for secure PCB mounting and mechanical stability.
• Rated Ripple Current — 700 mA at 120 Hz and 1.001 A at 50 kHz, specified for application planning across frequency ranges.
• Operating Temperature Range — Specified for −25 °C to +105 °C operation for elevated-temperature environments.
• Polarized Electrolytic — Polarized construction suitable for DC circuit applications.
• Size and Mechanical Data — Physical dimensions L: 3.5 × D: 2 cm with a maximum seated height of 1.378 inch; terminal and PCB hole dimensions available in the product documentation.
• Regulatory Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power circuits — Provides bulk capacitance and smoothing in general-purpose AC/DC and DC/DC stages where 400 V rating and 100 µF are required.
• Power supply filtering — Supports ripple current handling at 120 Hz and higher frequencies for filtering and energy buffering.
• Industrial equipment — Suitable for elevated-temperature environments up to 105 °C where long endurance under ripple stress is needed.

Unique Advantages

• High temperature endurance: 3000 hours at 105 °C under rated ripple current provides predictable ageing performance for design life planning.
• Measured ripple performance: Published ripple current values at 120 Hz and 50 kHz enable accurate thermal and ripple budgeting in system designs.
• Robust PCB mounting: Snap‑in radial can package offers mechanical stability and straightforward board retention for through-hole assemblies.
• Clear electrical specification set: Capacitance, tolerance, leakage, and tan δ limits are specified for validation against design requirements.
• RoHS compliant: Meets current RoHS directives to support regulatory requirements in product builds.
