Key electrical and reliability characteristics include a ripple current rating of 3.5 A (120 Hz), leakage current of 1850 µA, ±20% capacitance tolerance, a rated operating temperature range of −40°C to 85°C, and a rated life of 1000 hours at 85°C. Product status: end of life. RoHS compliant; supplied in tray packing.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 6800 µF nominal capacitance with a 56 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable where large bulk capacitance is required within a compact footprint.
• High Ripple Handling — Rated ripple current of 3.5 A at 120 Hz to support power-stage and filtering duties that impose AC stress on the capacitor.
• Leakage and Polarization — Specified leakage current of 1850 µA and polarized construction; leakage measured after standard voltage application conditions.
• Reliability & Endurance — Designed for 1000 hours of endurance at 85°C with specified limits on capacitance change, dissipation factor, and leakage after the endurance test.
• Temperature Range — Rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C, accommodating a wide range of ambient conditions.
• Package & Mounting — Snap-in radial can, φ35 × 30L size (approx. 35 mm diameter × 30 mm length), supplied in trays for PCB assembly.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant according to the information provided in the product data.

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — Designed for smaller-sized audio applications where compact, high-capacitance snap-in capacitors improve power supply decoupling and tonal performance.
• General-Purpose Electronic Equipment — Use in general-purpose circuits requiring bulk energy storage and smoothing in board-level assemblies.
• High-Ripple Power Stages — Applicable where rated ripple handling (3.5 A at 120 Hz) is needed for filtering and power conditioning.
