Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics: Use in automotive modules where AEC-Q200 qualification and −55 °C to +105 °C temperature capability are required.
• Board-Level Power Decoupling: Compact SMD form factor and low impedance behavior make it suitable for decoupling on densely populated PCBs requiring 68 µF/10 V capacity.
• Power Rail Stabilization: Ripple current ratings and low leakage support smoothing and stabilization of local 10 V power rails in embedded systems.
• Automotive Infotainment and Control Units: Small footprint and AEC-Q200 rating support use in space-constrained automotive control and infotainment circuits.

Unique Advantages

• Compact SMD Can: φ4 × 5.8 mm package delivers 68 µF capacitance in a small footprint for space-constrained designs.
• Automotive-Grade Reliability: AEC-Q200 qualification and specified 2000-hour endurance at 105 °C support deployment in regulated automotive electronics.
• Measured Loss and Leakage: Specified tan δ (0.19 at 120 Hz, 20 °C) and low leakage current (6.8 µA) provide predictable performance for power management designs.
• Ripple Handling Across Frequencies: Defined ripple current values at 120 Hz and 10 kHz allow designers to evaluate performance across low and high frequency conditions.
• Pick-and-Place Ready: Embossed carrier taping packaging enables automated assembly processes for high-volume production.
• Wide Operating Range: −55 °C to +105 °C temperature rating supports harsh-environment operation within the specified limits.
