• Rated Voltage — 160 V DC rating suitable for mid-voltage general-purpose circuits.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 3.43 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 5.145 A at 50 kHz, supporting sustained ripple conditions.
• Loss Angle (tan δ) — tan δ = 0.15 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, providing a defined dissipation characteristic for design calculations.
• Leakage Current — 1310 µA specified leakage current after voltage application at 20°C.
• Endurance — Rated for 3000 hours at 85°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current with specified limits on capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage current.
• Temperature Range — Operates from −40°C to +85°C.
• Package & Mounting — Snap-in terminal radial can (φ25 × 40 mm), tray packing for production assembly; status: mass production.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose — Power and Energy Storage: Provides bulk capacitance for general-purpose power circuits where 1200 µF at 160 V is required.
• General Purpose — Ripple Management: Supports designs that require sustained ripple current handling with defined low- and high-frequency ripple specifications.
• General Purpose — Industrial Electronics: Suitable for general-purpose industrial equipment within the −40°C to +85°C operating range and 3000-hour endurance at 85°C.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage bulk capacitance: 1200 µF at 160 V provides substantial stored energy for general-purpose circuits.
