• Package & Mounting — Chip-type radial can SMD, size φ18×21.5L; supplied in embossed carrier taping for automated placement. Surface-mount land size: L: 1.83 × W: 1.83 cm.
• Automotive Qualification — Rated AEC-Q200, suitable for automotive electronics requiring qualified passive components.
• Frequency Coefficient (68 µF) — Frequency multiplier for rated ripple current: 50 Hz = 0.75, 120 Hz = 1.00, 300 Hz = 1.35, 1 kHz = 1.57, 10 kHz+ = 2.00.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — AEC-Q200 rating and a robust temperature range make it suitable for automotive modules requiring high-capacitance SMD components.
• High-voltage SMD designs — 250 V rating enables use where elevated DC working voltages are required in a surface-mount form factor.
• Power filtering and energy storage — Higher capacitance and defined ripple current ratings support smoothing and local energy buffering in compact assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• High working voltage in an SMD chip — 250 V rating combined with a chip radial-can package enables compact high-voltage designs without resorting to larger through-hole parts.
• Designed for automotive use — AEC-Q200 qualification provides a clear path for integration into automotive electronics that require qualified passives.
• Broad ripple-tolerance profile — Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz plus the frequency coefficient table allow predictable design derating across frequency ranges.
• Long endurance at elevated temperature — 2000 hours at 85°C offers a defined life expectation for thermal-stressed deployments.
• Placement-ready packaging — Embossed carrier taping supports automated surface-mount assembly processes.
