Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 27 µF nominal capacitance with a tolerance of -20% to +20% measured at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Rated Voltage — 80 V DC rating suitable for higher-voltage power circuitry.
• Temperature Range & Endurance — Operating range from -55°C to +105°C with a specified life/endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Low Loss (tan δ) — Dissipation factor of 0.08 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, 80 V), helping minimize heat generation in AC ripple environments.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 57.5 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 115 mA at 200 kHz, enabling effective smoothing under mixed-frequency excitation.
• Low Leakage Current — Measured leakage current of 64.8 µA after rated voltage application, supporting higher insulation performance in DC systems.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, can-style package (φ6.3 × 15 mm) with 2.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), supplied in bulk or bag packing.
• Standards & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant for use in regulated environments.

Typical Applications

• Automotive modules — AEC-Q200-rated capacitor for use in automotive electronic modules where temperature endurance and controlled electrical characteristics are required.
• Power filtering — Bulk energy smoothing and decoupling in higher-voltage DC power circuits within embedded control systems.
• Electronic control units (ECUs) — Local supply stabilization and ripple attenuation for sensitive automotive electronics operating across -55°C to +105°C.

Unique Advantages

• AEC-Q200 qualification — Provides confidence for designs that require industry-recognized component qualification for demanding environments.
• Wide operating temperature — -55°C to +105°C rating supports designs exposed to extreme ambient conditions.
• Low dissipation factor — tan δ of 0.08 at 80 V (120 Hz, 20°C) reduces internal heating and helps maintain performance under ripple.
• Measurable ripple handling — Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies enable predictable smoothing performance across applications.
• Compact radial package — φ6.3 × 15 mm can with 2.5 mm lead spacing simplifies placement in tight layouts and through-hole assemblies.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS compliance supports use in regulated assemblies and helps streamline product approvals.
