Key Features

• Capacitance — 3.3 mF (3300 μF) bulk capacitance suitable for output filtering and energy storage in power stages.
• Rated Voltage — 16 V nominal rating for low-voltage power rails and DC‑DC converter outputs.
• Low Impedance — Specified impedance of 44 mΩ to support low-loss decoupling and tight output regulation.
• Ripple Current Handling — 2.134 A at 120 Hz and 2.51 A at 10 kHz, enabling effective AC ripple suppression across switching frequencies.
• High Temperature Endurance — Operating range −55°C to +105°C with a rated lifetime of 7000 hours at 105°C, supporting extended field life in elevated-temperature environments.
• Packaging and Mounting — Radial lead, can-style package with 5 mm lead spacing for through‑hole PCB assembly and robust mechanical mounting.
• Polarized Electrolytic — Designed as a polar capacitor for bulk energy storage; capacitance tolerance ±20%.
• AEC‑Q200 Qualified — Rated for automotive application use where AEC‑Q200 qualification is required.
• Compact Footprint — Physical size: L: 3.55 × D: 1.25 cm, enabling space-efficient placement on power boards.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Bulk output filtering and energy buffering to stabilize converter outputs and reduce ripple.
• Automotive Power Electronics — Use in in‑vehicle power modules and DC‑DC converters where AEC‑Q200 qualification and high-temperature lifetime are required.
• DC‑DC Converters — Input/output decoupling on low-voltage converter stages benefiting from low ESR and high ripple capability.
• Power Rail Decoupling — Local bulk capacitance for transient suppression on sensitive low-voltage rails.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR for tighter output control: 44 mΩ impedance reduces voltage drop under load and improves converter stability.
• Frequency-capable ripple handling: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz support both low-frequency smoothing and high-frequency switching environments.
• Automotive-grade reliability: AEC‑Q200 rating and a 7000‑hour lifetime at 105°C provide measured reliability for vehicle electronics.
• Wide operating temperature range: −55°C to +105°C supports a broad set of environmental conditions encountered in automotive and industrial systems.
• Compact radial can form: Small L × D footprint and radial leads simplify through‑hole assembly while preserving bulk capacitance on compact PCBs.
• Clear specification set: Polarized construction with ±20% tolerance and defined impedance and ripple numbers makes selection and thermal/ripple budgeting straightforward.
