Key Features

• Core Type  Aluminum electrolytic, chip-type acoustic series intended for wide temperature operation.
• Electrical Characteristics  22 µF capacitance at 16 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance (120 Hz, 20°C). Polarized device with leakage current specified as not more than 0.03 CV or 4 µA (whichever is greater) after 1 minute at 20°C.
• Dissipation and Stability  tan δ specified at 0.22 (max.) for the 16 V rating (measurement frequency: 120 Hz at 20°C); low-temperature impedance ratios for 16 V are Z(−25°C)/Z(+20°C) = 2 and Z(−40°C)/Z(+20°C) = 4.
• Ripple Current  Rated ripple currents: 30 mA at 120 Hz and 45 mA at 10 kHz, providing defined AC performance limits for design.
• Package & Mounting  Chip-format radial can SMD suitable for surface-mount applications; package dimensions listed as L: 5.4 × D: 5 mm with recommended land size L: 5.3 × W: 5.3 mm. Applicable to automatic mounting machines fed with carrier tape.
• Temperature & Endurance  Operating temperature range of −40°C to +105°C. Endurance rating: meet specified characteristics after 1000 hours with rated voltage applied at 105°C (capacitance change within ±20%, tan δ ≤ 200% of initial specified value, leakage current ≤ initial specified value).
• Reliability & Compliance  AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), supporting regulated and automotive-focused designs.
• Soldering Robustness  Specified resistance to soldering heat: hot-plate exposure at 250°C for 30 seconds with capacitance change within ±10% and no increase in leakage or tan δ beyond initial specified values.

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment  Designed as part of the acoustic series for use in audio equipment where compact chip-format electrolytics are required within a wide temperature range.
• Automotive Electronics  AEC-Q200 qualification and −40°C to +105°C operation make this capacitor appropriate for automotive electronic modules that demand defined endurance and compliance.
• Automated Surface-Mount Assembly  Carrier-tape compatible chip package enables placement by automatic mounting machines for high-volume SMD production.

Unique Advantages

• AEC-Q200 Qualification:  Provides a documented qualification path for automotive-oriented designs that require component-level AEC-Q200 recognition.
• Wide Operating Temperature:  Rated for −40°C to +105°C operation, enabling deployment across broad thermal environments.
• Defined High-Temperature Endurance:  Endurance specification of 1000 hours at 105°C with explicit limits for capacitance, tan δ and leakage current supports predictable long-term behavior.
• Carrier-Tape Compatibility:  Chip-format SMD suitable for automatic mounting machines simplifies assembly and reduces manual handling in production.
• Measured Electrical Parameters:  Clear specifications for tan δ, leakage current and ripple current allow precise integration into power and signal circuits with known constraints.
• Regulatory Compliance:  RoHS compliance supports use in regulated markets and simplifies environmental conformity checks.
