• Mounting & Package — Snap-in terminal, radial can package (φ35 × 35L / 3.5 × 3.5 cm) for secure PCB attachment and compact installation.
• Temperature Range — Operating temperature range from −40°C to +85°C to support a wide range of environmental conditions.
• Ripple Endurance — Specified to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 85°C; endurance criteria include capacitance change within ±20% and leakage current not exceeding initial specified value after test.
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current of 4.28 A at 120 Hz and 6.42 A at 50 kHz for effective AC ripple handling.
• Electrical Characteristics — Capacitance tolerance ±20%; polarized device; leakage current specified as I ≤ 3√(C·V) µA after 5 minutes at 20°C; tan δ max of 0.15 at the 160 V rating (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Shelf Life & Reliability — Shelf-life conditions: after 1000 hours at 85°C and voltage treatment, capacitance change within ±15% and tan δ ≤150% of initial value.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General-Purpose Power Filtering — Provides bulk capacitance and ripple smoothing in general-purpose power circuits where 1.8 mF at 160 V is required.
• Industrial Power Electronics — Snap-in mounting and robust ripple endurance suit assemblies that require secure PCB attachment and long-term ripple performance.
• DC Bus / Energy Storage — High-voltage rating and substantial capacitance make it applicable for DC bus smoothing and intermediate energy storage in general-purpose designs.
