• Low Impedance — Nominal impedance of 18 mΩ and a measured tanδ of 0.26 (20°C, 120 Hz) for improved supply stability and transient response.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 6.384 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 2.74 A at 200 kHz to support power conversion and filtering loads.
• Long Endurance — Rated for 5000 hours at 105°C under specified load conditions for sustained high-temperature operation.
• AEC‑Q200 Qualified — Manufactured to meet AEC‑Q200 requirements; suitable for automotive electronic applications.
• Robust Operating Range — Temperature range from −55°C to +105°C for operation across a wide thermal envelope.
• Radial Lead, Compact Can — φ18 × 35.5 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) in bulk/bag packaging; mass production status ensures availability from Nichicon.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS environmental requirements for modern electronic designs.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power electronics — Bulk energy storage and ripple filtering in vehicle power modules and control units, leveraging the 6.8 mF capacitance and high ripple current ratings.
• Power conversion and regulation — Smoothing and decoupling in DC‑DC converters and power supply stages where low impedance and high ripple capability are needed.
• High-temperature systems — Applications requiring continuous operation at elevated temperatures up to 105°C and long endurance life.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Dual ripple current ratings (6.384 A at 120 Hz, 2.74 A at 200 kHz) enable reliable operation across low- and high-frequency power domains.
• Low ESR/Impedance: 18 mΩ impedance and defined tanδ support lower voltage drop and improved transient performance in power rails.
• Extended high-temperature life: 5000-hour endurance at 105°C provides predictable longevity in thermally demanding environments.
• AEC‑Q200 qualification: Conformance to AEC‑Q200 supports use in automotive electronic modules and other applications requiring industry-standard component qualification.
• Compact radial can format: φ18 × 35.5 mm package with 7.5 mm lead spacing simplifies layout for through-hole designs while delivering large bulk capacitance.
• Production-ready supply: Mass production status and RoHS compliance streamline procurement and regulatory acceptance.
