Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 220 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 16 V and ±20% tolerance (120 Hz, 20°C).
• Temperature Range — Specified to operate from −40°C to +105°C, suitable for wide-temperature applications.
• Reliability & Lifetime — Endurance specified as 1000 hours at 105°C with capacitance change within ±20% and leakage current within initial specified value after endurance.
• Leakage Current — Characterized leakage current of 105.6 µA (consistent with the datasheet limit of 0.03·C·V after 1 minute at 20°C).
• Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 210 mA at 120 Hz and 315 mA at 10 kHz, supporting decoupling and smoothing in switched and low-frequency applications.
• Packaging & Mounting — φ8×10L radial can in an SMD package with embossed carrier taping for automatic mounting machines; surface-mount land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm.
• Qualification & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, for regulated manufacturing and reliability requirements.
• Polarized Type — Polarized aluminum electrolytic construction for standard polarized capacitor applications.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — AEC-Q200 qualification and −40°C to +105°C operation make this capacitor suitable for automotive electronic modules requiring robust electrolytic capacitance.
• Audio Equipment — Part of the UUQ chip-type series described for audio equipment, providing bulk capacitance and wide-temperature stability for audio power and coupling circuits.
• Surface-Mount Power Filtering — Compact φ8×10 SMD can and measurable ripple current ratings support decoupling and smoothing in compact, automated SMD power modules and converters.
• High-Volume SMT Production — Embossed carrier taping and compatibility with automatic mounting machines streamline assembly for large-volume manufacturing.
