Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.8 mF capacitance rated at 63 V for energy storage and filtering in moderate‑voltage circuits.
• Snap‑In Radial Package — Snap‑in terminal, radial can construction for secure mechanical mounting and straightforward board assembly.
• Compact Dimensions — Small package size (L: 2.5 × D: 2.2 cm) that enables space‑constrained designs while maintaining required capacitance.
• Polarized Electrolytic — Polarized device suitable for DC applications where electrolytic capacitors are required.
• Ripple Current Rating — Rated low‑frequency ripple current of 1.8 A at 120 Hz, supporting AC ripple handling in power and audio circuits.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating range −40 °C to +85 °C with a guaranteed lifetime of 1,000 hours at 85 °C under rated voltage.
• Tolerance — Capacitance tolerance of ±20% at 120 Hz, 20 °C for design margin planning.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directive (2011/65/EU,(EU)2015/863) for lead‑free materials compliance.

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — Designed for use in audio systems where a smaller, snap‑in electrolytic can help improve perceived tone quality when replacing smaller standard capacitors.
• General‑Purpose Electronics — Suited for general‑purpose DC filtering and energy storage in equipment that benefits from a snap‑in radial capacitor.
• Power Supply Filtering — Applicable where moderate ripple handling (1.8 A at 120 Hz) and bulk capacitance are required.

Unique Advantages

• Space‑efficient high capacitance — 1.8 mF in a compact radial can allows higher bulk capacitance without increasing PCB footprint significantly.
• Secure mounting — Snap‑in terminals provide robust mechanical retention for through‑hole assembly and heavier board handling.
• Audio‑oriented design benefits — Specified as smaller and higher‑tone quality compared to standard small parts in the series, making it a targeted choice for audio improvements.
• Rated ripple performance — 1.8 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz reduces heating and supports stable operation in power‑filtered stages.
• Environmentally compliant — RoHS conformity supports designs targeting regulated, lead‑free markets.
• Durability under stress — 1,000‑hour endurance at 85 °C provides defined lifecycle expectations for thermal stress conditions.
