It provides 470 µF at 25 V in a compact SMD can package, optimized for audio equipment and other electronics that require wide temperature operation and robust reliability.

This part is RoHS compliant and AEC-Q200 qualified, offering wide operating temperature performance from −55 °C to +105 °C and long-term endurance for demanding environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance rated at 25 V with ±20% tolerance (120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Wide Temperature Range — Specified operating range −55 °C to +105 °C for use across broad environmental conditions.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification — AEC-Q200 qualified for designs requiring recognized component-level reliability.
• Endurance at Elevated Temperature — Rated for 2000 hours at 105 °C with capacitance change within ±30% and leakage current meeting original specification after recovery to 20 °C.
• Ripple Current Performance — 400 mA at 120 Hz and 600 mA at 10 kHz for smoothing and decoupling in power and audio circuits.
• Electrical Loss & Low-Temperature Behavior — tan δ (120 Hz, 20 °C) max 0.16 at 25 V; impedance ratios Z(−25 °C)/Z(+20 °C) = 2 and Z(−40 °C)/Z(+20 °C) = 3 (measured at 120 Hz).
• Leakage Current Specification — After 2 minutes at rated voltage and 20 °C, leakage current ≤ 0.01CV or 3 µA, whichever is greater.
• Surface-Mount, Carrier-Tape Compatible — Chip-type SMD can package designed for automatic mounting machines fed with carrier tape.
• Polarized Design — Polar capacitor suitable for polarized circuit applications.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU,(EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — Bulk smoothing, power supply decoupling and coupling in audio circuits where wide temperature stability and specific acoustic chip-type packaging are required.
• Automotive Electronics — Use in automotive modules and infotainment where AEC-Q200 qualification and operation to +105 °C are needed.
• Compact SMD Power Filtering — Local board-level power decoupling on space-constrained surface-mount PCBs.

Unique Advantages

• High Temperature Endurance: 2000 hours at 105 °C provides predictable long-term behavior for high-temperature applications.
• Automotive-Level Reliability: AEC-Q200 qualification signals suitability for designs that require validated component reliability.
• Compact SMD Can Package: Chip-type surface-mount can format compatible with carrier-tape assembly simplifies automated placement on dense PCBs.
• Measured Ripple Capability: Specified ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 10 kHz support both low-frequency smoothing and higher-frequency decoupling needs.
• Wide Operating Range: −55 °C to +105 °C supports operation across demanding environmental conditions.
• Clear Electrical Characterization: Defined tan δ, impedance ratios, and leakage current limits enable straightforward selection and verification in designs.
