Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 68 µF rated capacitance at 80 V for mid‑voltage power applications.
• Low Impedance — Specified impedance of 310 mΩ, helping reduce voltage ripple and improve transient response in power circuits.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Low frequency ripple current 165.8 mA (120 Hz) and high frequency ripple current 325 mA (200 kHz) to support AC ripple handling in power supplies.
• Long Endurance — 5000 hours life at 105 °C under rated conditions for extended service in elevated temperature environments.
• Thermal Range — Wide operating temperature from −55 °C to 105 °C for robust performance across harsh ambient conditions.
• Polarized Radial Lead Package — Radial lead, can style (φ12.5 × 15L) with 5 mm lead spacing; available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing for through‑hole assembly.
• Loss Characteristics — tan δ (dissipation factor) 0.08 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz, supporting predictable thermal and electrical behavior.
• Leakage Current — Measured leakage current 163.2 µA, enabling controlled bleed characteristics in power circuits.
• Automotive Qualification — AEC‑Q200 rated, suitable for designs requiring automotive‑grade component qualification.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Power Electronics — Used for power filtering and energy buffering in automotive electronic control units where AEC‑Q200 qualification and 105 °C endurance are required.
• Power Supply Filtering — Low impedance and rated ripple currents make this capacitor suitable for smoothing and decoupling in DC power rails and converter outputs.
• Industrial Equipment — Provides reliable bulk capacitance and ripple handling for industrial controllers and power modules operating across −55 °C to 105 °C.

Unique Advantages

• Long Life at Elevated Temperature — 5000 hour endurance at 105 °C reduces maintenance and replacement frequency in high‑temperature installations.
• AEC‑Q200 Qualification — Explicit automotive qualification supports use in vehicle electronics and other applications requiring automotive‑grade components.
• Predictable Electrical Behavior — Specified tan δ and leakage current figures provide design assurance for thermal and leakage budgets.
• Compact Radial Can — φ12.5 × 15L package with 5 mm lead spacing combines a small footprint with through‑hole mounting convenience for prototyping and production assemblies.
• Broad Frequency Ripple Support — Defined ripple current ratings at both 120 Hz and 200 kHz enable use across a range of switching and line‑frequency power systems.
• Regulatory Readiness — RoHS compliance simplifies environmental qualification for global production.
