Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — Rated capacitance 1.5 mF with a rated voltage of 100 V suitable for high‑voltage power rail smoothing and energy storage.
• High Temperature Long Life — Engineered for 5000 hours endurance under rated ripple current at 105°C to support long service life in demanding environments.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Operating range from −40°C to 105°C for use across a broad range of industrial ambient conditions.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Specified ripple current of 1.8 A at 120 Hz and 2.07 A at 50 kHz to handle AC ripple and switching conditions common in power electronics.
• Snap‑In Radial Can Package — Snap‑in mounting for secure mechanical retention and ease of assembly in power supply chassis and PCB assemblies.
• Polarized Electrolytic Type — Polarized design appropriate for DC filter and smoothing applications where polarity is maintained.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for regulatory conformity.
• Size and Tolerance — Physical dimensions L: 4 × D: 2.5 cm with capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% for design planning and board layout.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Power Supplies — Bulk filtering and smoothing where 100 V rating and high ripple handling at elevated temperature extend system reliability.
• Ballast Systems — Specified for ballast applications requiring dependable long‑term performance at 105°C.
• General Purpose Power Filtering — DC link and smoothing duties in industrial electronics that benefit from the series’ long life assurance.

Unique Advantages

• Long‑Term Thermal Endurance: 5000 hours rated endurance at 105°C under ripple current reduces maintenance and replacement frequency in high‑temperature systems.
• Robust Ripple Handling: Measured ripple current specs at 120 Hz and 50 kHz provide designers with verified performance for both low‑ and high‑frequency ripple environments.
• Secure Snap‑In Mounting: Radial snap‑in can provides reliable mechanical retention for chassis‑mounted or heavy‑current PCB assemblies.
• Wide Temperature Range: −40°C to 105°C operation supports deployment across varied industrial ambient conditions without derating beyond specified limits.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS conformity simplifies selection for projects requiring lead‑free component streams.
