• Snap‑in Terminal, Radial Can — Snap‑in mounting for secure board retention; package described as radial, can - snap‑in.
• Endurance at Elevated Temperature — Withstands 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 85°C when operated within rated conditions.
• Low Loss (tan δ) — Maximum tan δ of 0.15 measured at 20°C and 120 Hz for reduced dissipation in AC ripple environments.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple currents: 4.96 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 7.44 A at 50 kHz (high frequency).
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1770 µA after rated voltage conditions.
• Operating Temperature Range — Specified for −40°C to +85°C operation.
• Physical Size & Packing — Size φ30 × 50L (approx. L: 5 × D: 3 cm) and supplied in tray packing for mass production.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power supplies — Bulk capacitance and ripple handling for smoothing and energy storage where a 2200 µF, 160 V snap‑in capacitor is required.
• Industrial power systems — Supports long‑term operation at elevated temperatures with its 3000 h endurance rating at 85°C.
• Power conversion modules — Useful in designs requiring robust ripple current capability at both low and high frequencies.

Unique Advantages
