Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1500 µF capacitance rated at 50 V, tolerance ±20% suitable for bulk energy storage and decoupling.
• Low Impedance — Rated impedance of 50 mΩ to help minimize voltage ripple and improve transient response in power rails.
• High Ripple Current Handling — Low-frequency ripple current of 2.372 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 2.79 A (10 kHz) for sustained AC stress handling.
• Long Endurance — 8000 hours life at 105 °C under specified endurance conditions, supporting extended operation in high-temperature environments.
• Wide Temperature Range — Operating range from −55 °C to +105 °C for use across harsh thermal environments; low-temperature impedance stability Z(−55 °C)/Z(+20 °C) ≤ 3 (for the rated voltage band).
• Radial Can Package — Compact cylindrical package φ16 × 35.5 mm with 7.5 mm lead spacing and bulk/bag packing options for through-hole assembly and manual insertion.
• AEC-Q200 Rated — AEC-Q200 qualification indicated in the product data for designs with automotive and high-reliability requirements.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 2250 µA at rated conditions for predictable bias characteristics.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Bulk filtering and output smoothing in DC–DC converters and switch-mode power supply stages where low impedance and high ripple handling are required.
• Automotive Electronics — Power conditioning in automotive control modules and auxiliary power circuits, supported by AEC-Q200 rating and wide temperature endurance.
• Industrial Power Modules — Energy storage and decoupling in industrial converters and motor-drive auxiliary circuits operating at elevated temperatures.
• Embedded Systems — Local energy reservoir and ripple suppression for processors, power controllers, and mixed-signal subsystems requiring stable bulk capacitance.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple-current capability: Rated for 2.372 A at 120 Hz and 2.79 A at 10 kHz, enabling reliable handling of AC stress across common power frequencies.
• Low ESR/Impedance: 50 mΩ impedance reduces voltage ripple and improves regulator stability and transient response.
• Long elevated-temperature life: 8000 hours at 105 °C supports designs that must maintain capacitance and dissipation factor over extended periods in hot environments.
• Wide operating temperature: −55 °C to +105 °C operation provides thermal flexibility for both cold-start and high-heat deployments.
• Automotive-capable qualification: AEC-Q200 rating aligns the part with automotive system requirements for reliability and traceability.
• Compact, through-hole form factor: φ16 × 35.5 mm radial can with 7.5 mm lead spacing simplifies placement in power assemblies and manual or wave-soldered production flows.
