Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 100 µF capacitance rated at 16 V provides bulk energy storage for decoupling and smoothing.
• Endurance — Load life specified as 3000 hours at 105°C (for this size), supporting extended operation in high‑temperature environments.
• Temperature Range — Operating range from -55°C to 105°C for reliable performance across wide ambient conditions.
• Ripple Current Performance — Low‑frequency ripple current 81 mA (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current 121.5 mA (10 kHz) to address ripple suppression across frequency bands.
• Leakage & Loss — Leakage current specified at 16 µA; tan δ (DF) of 0.20 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz for stability/ESR characterization.
• Package & Mounting — Chip‑type SMD can (φ6.3 × 7.7 mm) with embossed carrier taping for automated surface‑mount assembly; recommended land size L: 6.6 × W: 6.6 mm.
• Qualification & Compliance — AEC‑Q200 rated and RoHS compliant for regulated markets and automotive use.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — AEC‑Q200 qualification and 3000 h@105°C endurance make this capacitor suitable for vehicle electronic modules that require long‑term thermal reliability.
• Surface‑Mount High‑Density PCBs — Chip‑type SMD form factor and embossed carrier taping support automated placement on compact, high‑density boards.
• Power Filtering and Ripple Suppression — 100 µF capacitance with specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz enables bulk filtering and smoothing in compact power subsystems.

Unique Advantages

• High‑temperature endurance: Rated for 3000 hours at 105°C, delivering predictable lifetime performance in hot operating environments.
