Targeted use cases include industrial power supplies and ballast applications where extended endurance, stable capacitance and robust ripple handling are important design considerations.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — Rated at 15 mF with a nominal voltage of 35 V, suitable for DC‑bus smoothing and energy storage in higher‑current circuits.
• High‑temperature Long Life — Endurance specified as 5000 hours at 105°C with rated DC bias plus ripple current applied; capacitance change remains within ±25% after the test.
• Operating Temperature Range — Specified for −40°C to 105°C to support demanding industrial thermal environments.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 3.2 A at 120 Hz and 3.68 A at 50 kHz; frequency coefficients apply across the operating band.
• Leakage Current Specification — Leakage current defined as I ≤ 3√CV (μA) after 5 minutes’ application of rated voltage at 20°C, providing a verifiable limit for system leakage budgeting.
• Mechanical / Mounting — Snap‑in radial can package for secure PCB mounting; polarized construction for correct polarity installation.
• Capacitance Tolerance — ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C for predictable filtering performance.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Industrial Power Supplies — Bulk filtering and DC‑bus energy storage where 105°C operation and 5000‑hour ripple endurance provide extended service life.
• Ballast Applications — Designed specifically for ballast use, delivering stable capacitance and leakage characteristics under sustained stress.
• General Purpose Power Filtering — Polarized snap‑in can is suitable for general power smoothing and decoupling in electronic equipment.

Unique Advantages

• Long‑Term Endurance: Engineered to withstand 5000 hours at 105°C with rated ripple current applied, maintaining capacitance within ±25% for predictable aging.
• High Ripple Handling: Clear ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 50 kHz (3.2 A and 3.68 A respectively) allow designers to size bulk capacitors against expected ripple loads.
• Wide Temperature Capability: −40°C to 105°C operating range supports demanding industrial thermal profiles without derating beyond specified limits.
• Measurable Leakage Limits: Leakage defined by I ≤ 3√CV (μA) after 5 minutes at 20°C, simplifying leakage current budgeting in system designs.
• Secure PCB Mounting: Snap‑in radial can package provides robust mechanical retention for high‑vibration or industrial environments.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS conformity supports restricted‑substance requirements for commercial and industrial products.
