• Low Impedance: Rated impedance of 23 mΩ supports improved transient response and lower power loss under load.
• High Ripple Current Handling: Low-frequency ripple current 3.0498 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 2.21 A at 200 kHz enable sustained operation with AC ripple across a range of frequencies.
• Long Endurance: Specified life of 5000 hours at 105°C for long-term reliability under elevated temperature and bias conditions.
• Wide Temperature Range: Operates from −55°C to +105°C to accommodate harsh thermal environments.
• Loss Tangent & Leakage: tanδ 0.2 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) and leakage current 1584 µA, specified for predictable performance and screening.
• Robust, Through‑Hole Package: Radial can construction (φ12.5 × 40 mm) with 5 mm lead spacing for straightforward PCB mounting and mechanical stability.
• AEC‑Q200 Qualified & RoHS Compliant: Meets AEC‑Q200 qualification and RoHS requirements for regulated markets and applications that require automotive-grade reliability.
• Mass Production Availability & Packaging: Available in bulk or bag packing; product status: mass production.

Typical Applications

• Power Supply Smoothing: Bulk capacitance and low impedance make it suitable for smoothing and energy storage in DC power rails and regulators.
• Automotive Electronics: AEC‑Q200 qualification and wide temperature range support use in automotive control modules, auxiliary power systems, and infotainment power circuits.
• Industrial & Motor Control: High ripple current capability and long life at elevated temperature suit motor drives, inverters, and industrial power electronics.
• Backup and Hold‑Up Circuits: Large capacitance provides short-term energy reserve for brown-out protection and hold‑up in control systems and embedded devices.

Unique Advantages

• High Ripple Endurance: Dual-frequency ripple ratings (3.05 A at 120 Hz, 2.21 A at 200 kHz) allow designers to specify a single capacitor for mixed-frequency ripple environments.
• Extended High‑Temperature Life: 5000 hours at 105°C reduces maintenance and replacement frequency in continuously loaded, high-temperature applications.
• Low ESR for Better Efficiency: 23 mΩ impedance minimizes dissipation and improves converter efficiency and thermal performance.
• AEC‑Q200 Qualified: Qualification for automotive-grade reliability provides confidence when specifying the component for vehicle electronics and other high‑reliability systems.
• Compact Through‑Hole Form Factor: φ12.5 × 40 mm radial can with 5 mm lead spacing balances compact size and easy PCB insertion for through‑hole assembly.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports inclusion in products targeting regulated markets and regions.
