• Low Impedance — Specified impedance of 50 mΩ to minimize voltage droop and improve transient response in power supply circuits.
• Ripple Current Capability — Handles low-frequency ripple of 1.964 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple of 2.31 A at 10 kHz for effective ripple suppression across frequencies.
• High-Temperature Endurance — Rated lifetime of 7000 hours at 105°C for extended service in thermally demanding applications.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Operates from −55°C to 105°C to accommodate harsh thermal environments.
• Radial Lead Package — Compact can measuring Ø12.5 × 30.5 mm with 5.0 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) for through-hole assembly and secure mechanical mounting.
• Leakage & Polarization — Polarized electrolytic construction with measured leakage current of 1296 µA, consistent with high-capacitance aluminum electrolytic behavior.
• AEC-Q200 Rated — Built to a recognized automotive-grade reliability standard for use in safety- and reliability-focused systems.
• Packaging & Production — Available in bulk or bag packing with mass-production availability for volume deployments.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Provides bulk energy storage and ripple suppression in switching regulators and DC–DC converters, leveraging low impedance and high ripple current handling.
• Automotive Electronics — AEC-Q200 rating and wide temperature range make it suitable for automotive power modules and subsystems requiring long-term endurance at elevated temperature.
• Power Rail Stabilization — Compact radial-lead form factor (Ø12.5 × 30.5 mm, 5 mm lead spacing) enables use where board space is limited while maintaining effective smoothing for power rails.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for High Ripple Environments — Explicit low- and high-frequency ripple current ratings (1.964 A @120 Hz; 2.31 A @10 kHz) support stable operation under dynamic load conditions.
• Extended High-Temperature Lifetime — 7000 hours at 105°C provides predictable aging behavior for long-term deployments in hot operating environments.
• Automotive-Grade Reliability — AEC-Q200 rating aligns the part with automotive reliability expectations for electronic subsystems.
• Compact, Through-Hole Form Factor — Radial can (Ø12.5 × 30.5 mm) with 5 mm lead spacing simplifies assembly into existing through-hole power module layouts.
• Low Impedance for Improved Performance — 50 mΩ impedance contributes to reduced losses and improved transient response in power systems.
• Production-Ready Availability — Mass production status and standard packaging options (bulk or bag) support supply continuity for volume programs.
