Key Features

• Electrical performance: 82 µF capacitance at 250 V with ±20% tolerance, polarized radial-lead construction for straightforward through-hole mounting.
• High ripple-current capability: Rated low-frequency ripple current 690 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 1.38 A at 100 kHz, enabling effective smoothing under varying switching conditions.
• Low dissipation factor (tan δ): tan δ ≤ 0.20 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, supporting efficient performance in AC-biased environments.
• Long life and reliability: Endurance rated for 10,000 hours at 105°C, supporting long-term operation in thermally demanding systems.
• Wide operating temperature: Specified for −40°C to +105°C to cover a broad range of environmental conditions.
• Compact radial package: Case size φ16 × 20L with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), available in bulk or bag packing for assembly flexibility.
• Automotive-grade qualification and compliance: AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, suitable for designs that require recognized reliability standards.
• Production status: Mass production availability for volume designs.

Typical Applications

• Power supplies: Bulk smoothing and ripple suppression in switching and linear power supply circuits where high ripple capability and long life are required.
• Ballast circuits: Energy storage and filtering for lamp ballasts and related ballast-type power electronics.
• Automotive electronic modules: Filtering and decoupling in automotive control and power modules where AEC-Q200 qualification and wide temperature range are needed.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple handling: Delivers both low- and high-frequency ripple current ratings (690 mA at 120 Hz; 1.38 A at 100 kHz), reducing thermal stress and improving performance in switching environments.
• Extended operational life: 10,000-hour endurance at 105°C supports long service intervals and reliability in continuous-duty applications.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 qualification provides an added level of assurance for designs targeting automotive or similarly demanding markets.
• Compact radial form factor: φ16 can with 7.5 mm lead spacing offers a space-efficient solution for through-hole assemblies without sacrificing ripple capability.
• Regulatory and production readiness: RoHS compliance and mass-production status simplify compliance and sourcing for volume programs.
