With AEC-Q200 qualification, a 5000-hour load life at 105°C, and substantial ripple-current capability, this part targets demanding applications that require long-term stability under elevated temperature and ripple stress.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 2.7 mF (2700 µF) nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 20°C, rated for 10 V DC.
• Low Impedance — Specified impedance of 35 mΩ, supporting lower ripple voltage under load.
• High Ripple Current Handling — Low-frequency ripple current of 1.903 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 1.56 A (200 kHz), enabling effective smoothing under varying switching conditions.
• Loss Tangent (tan δ) — tanδ = 0.21 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz (for the specified capacitance and voltage), useful for assessing dissipation characteristics.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 810 µA, measured after application of rated voltage.
• Reliability & Endurance — 5000 hours rated life at +105°C; designed for long-term operation under elevated temperature with capacitance change within ±20% after endurance test.
• Robust Temperature Range — Operates from -55°C to +105°C, supporting wide environmental conditions.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, can package with φ16 × 20L size, lead spacing 7.5 mm (±0.5 mm); available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing for board-level assembly.
• Standards & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — AEC-Q200 qualification and a -55°C to +105°C operating range make this capacitor suitable for automotive control modules and power systems that demand long-term stability at elevated temperatures.
• Power Supply Filtering — High ripple-current ratings (1.903 A at 120 Hz and 1.56 A at 200 kHz) and low impedance (35 mΩ) support effective smoothing and filtering on DC rails and converter outputs.
• High-Reliability Embedded Systems — 5000-hour endurance at 105°C and controlled leakage current support designs where predictable lifetime and charge retention are required.

Unique Advantages

• Long High-Temperature Life: 5000 hours rated endurance at +105°C provides predictable aging behavior for long-term designs.
• High Ripple Capacity: Dual-spec ripple current ratings for low and high frequency (1.903 A / 1.56 A) enable reliable performance across switching conditions.
• Low Impedance: 35 mΩ impedance reduces ripple voltage and improves power-supply stability under load.
• AEC-Q200 Qualified: Qualification supports use in automotive-grade systems requiring industry-recognized reliability screening.
• Compact Radial Package: φ16 × 20L can-style radial package with 7.5 mm lead spacing offers a compact footprint for through-hole board layouts.
• Compliance and Supply: RoHS compliant and available in bulk or bag packing for production quantities; part is in mass production.
