• Ripple endurance — Specified to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 85°C; rated ripple current values provided for design validation (2.35 A at 120 Hz; 3.525 A at 50 kHz).
• Operating temperature — Rated for operation from −40 °C to +85 °C.
• Leakage and loss characteristics — Leakage current defined by I ≤ 3√CV (μA) after 5 minutes at 20 °C; tangent of loss angle (tan δ) limits provided in the datasheet for 160 V parts.
• Endurance and shelf life — Endurance specification: capacitance change within ±20% and leakage within initial specified limits after 3000 hours at 85 °C; shelf life and voltage treatment criteria defined in the series datasheet.
• Package and mounting — Snap‑in terminal, radial can package; physical size approximately L: 4 × D: 2 cm with a seated height specification of 1.575 inches for mechanical planning.
• Regulatory compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose equipment — For systems that require a polarized 680 µF / 160 V capacitor with snap‑in mounting and defined high‑temperature ripple endurance.
• Chassis or board assemblies — Snap‑in radial can construction provides a mechanically robust option for assemblies where secure mounting is needed.
• Service and repair inventory — Suitable as a direct replacement where a 680 µF, 160 V snap‑in electrolytic capacitor is specified.

Unique Advantages

• Specified long ripple life — 3000‑hour ripple endurance at 85 °C reduces uncertainty for long‑term operation under continuous ripple stress.
• Clear ripple current data — Published ripple current values at 120 Hz and 50 kHz support more accurate thermal and reliability calculations.
• Wide operating temperature span — −40 °C to +85 °C rating supports deployment across varied environments within the part’s specified limits.
• Robust mounting option — Snap‑in radial can simplifies mechanical retention for board or chassis installations.
• Standards‑oriented specifications — Endurance, leakage, tan δ and shelf life performance are defined in the series datasheet for predictable qualification.
• RoHS compliance — Meets current RoHS directive requirements for restricted substances.
