Key Features

• Capacitance & voltage — 220 µF capacitance with a rated voltage of 16 V and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20 °C.
• High-temperature endurance — Rated for operation from −40 °C to 150 °C with a load life of 1000 hours at 150 °C.
• Vibration resistance (chip type) — Chip‑type, surface‑mount construction designed for vibration‑resistant mounting in compact assemblies.
• Ripple current capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 100.5 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 150 mA at 10 kHz, supporting decoupling and smoothing duties across a range of switching frequencies.
• Leakage current — Specified leakage current of approximately 105.6 µA, measured per the product characterization conditions.
• Package & mounting — Surface-mount radial can (SMD) in a φ10 × 10 mm case with embossed carrier taping for automated placement.
• Compliance & qualification — RoHS compliant and AEC‑Q200 qualified, aligning the part with regulated manufacturing and automotive reliability requirements.

Typical Applications

• Automotive control modules — Power supply decoupling and smoothing in electronic control units where sustained high-temperature performance and vibration resistance are required.
• High-temperature power electronics — Bulk or local energy storage in converters and power stages operating in elevated ambient temperatures up to 150 °C.
• Vibration-prone assemblies — Electronics installed in mechanically demanding environments that benefit from chip‑type, vibration‑resistant capacitors.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for elevated temperatures: 1000‑hour endurance at 150 °C provides predictable lifetime behavior in hot operating environments.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC‑Q200 qualification supports use in designs that require industry-recognized reliability standards.
• Compact SMD can: φ10 × 10 mm package delivers 220 µF capacitance in a board‑mountable, space-efficient form factor with embossed carrier taping for assembly.
