Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 220 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 35 V and a tolerance of -20% to +20%.
• Low Impedance — Rated impedance of 170 mΩ supports stable power delivery and reduced voltage ripple in compact power stages.
• Loss Tangent (tan δ) — tanδ = 0.12 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, providing predictable AC loss behavior for design calculations.
• Ripple Current Handling — Low-frequency ripple current of 474.5 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 730 mA (10 kHz), enabling improved ripple performance across switching and line-frequency regimes.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 231 µA, suitable for power-supply decoupling and hold-up applications where low standby loss is required.
• High Temperature Endurance — Life rating of 3000 hours at 105°C, designed for sustained operation at elevated temperatures.
• Automotive Qualification — AEC-Q200 rated, making this part appropriate for automotive electronic applications that require component-level automotive qualification.
• Mechanical & Packaging — Radial lead can (φ8 × 15 mm), lead spacing 3.5 mm ±0.5 mm, available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing; mass production status ensures supply continuity.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Bulk and output filtering for isolated and non‑isolated converters where low impedance and compact size are required.
• Automotive Power Electronics — Decoupling and energy storage in automotive control modules and power rails, leveraging AEC-Q200 qualification and high-temperature endurance.
• DC–DC Converters — Input and output smoothing in point-of-load converters that require high ripple-current capability across a wide frequency range.
• General Power Filtering — Voltage stabilization and ripple suppression in industrial and embedded power systems operating from -55°C to 105°C.

Unique Advantages

• Compact footprint with strong performance: The φ8 × 15 mm can provides 220 µF capacitance in a small package, helping reduce board area without sacrificing ripple handling.
• Designed for ripple across frequencies: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz (474.5 mA) and 10 kHz (730 mA) offer predictable behavior for low- and high-frequency power stages.
• Thermal endurance for demanding environments: 3000 hours at 105°C means stable performance in elevated-temperature applications.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 rating supports use in automotive electronics that require component-level qualification.
• Low loss characteristics: tanδ = 0.12 (20°C, 120 Hz) and 170 mΩ impedance enable efficient energy transfer and reduced heat generation in power circuits.
• Robust leakage specification: 231 µA leakage current provides controlled standby loss for designs sensitive to quiescent currents.
