Key Features

• Electrical Performance — Rated capacitance 56 µF at 35 V with tolerance of −20% to 20%, suitable for bulk decoupling and smoothing in power rails.
• Low Impedance Design — Part of the UPW series characterized for low impedance behavior, supporting effective ripple handling in switching power supplies.
• Ripple Current Handling — Specified ripple currents of 87 mA at 120 Hz and 290 mA at 10 kHz, enabling reliable operation across low- and high-frequency switching environments.
• Thermal and Endurance Rating — Operating temperature −55 °C to 105 °C with a rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 105 °C to match elevated-temperature applications.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification — AEC-Q200 rating for designs that require a recognized high-reliability automotive specification.
• Compact Radial Package — Radial lead, can-style package with 2.5 mm lead spacing and compact dimensions (L: 1.1 × D: 0.63 cm) for tight PCB layouts and through-hole assembly.
• Polarized — Designed as a polarized electrolytic capacitor for DC power applications.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Bulk smoothing and output decoupling where low impedance and compact size improve transient performance and board density.
• Automotive Electronics — Power rail filtering and decoupling in automotive subsystems that require AEC-Q200-qualified components and extended temperature operation.
