Key Features

• Electrical Core 5.6 mF (5600 μF) nominal capacitance with a 42 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, providing substantial energy storage for circuits that require bulk capacitance.
• Polarized Design Polarized aluminum electrolytic construction suitable for DC power applications where polarity is observed.
• Package & Mounting Radial, snap-in can package for secure snap-in PCB mounting and mechanical stability in through-hole assemblies.
• Ripple Handling Rated ripple current of 2.7 A at 120 Hz, enabling effective handling of low-frequency AC ripple in power circuits.
• Temperature & Endurance Operating range −40 °C to +85 °C with an endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85 °C under rated voltage conditions.
• Compliance Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), supporting regulatory requirements for lead-free assemblies.
• Compact Footprint Physical size approximately L: 4 × D: 2.2 cm, offering a smaller-sized option for space-constrained audio and general-purpose designs.

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — Designed for use in audio systems where replacing smaller standard capacitors can contribute to perceived tone-quality improvements.
• General-Purpose Electronics — Suitable for electronic designs that require a polarized, high-capacitance snap-in electrolytic capacitor for bulk energy storage.
