Engineered for demanding environments, this capacitor offers AEC‑Q200 qualification, a wide operating temperature range of −40 °C to +105 °C, and a rated endurance of 3000 hours at 105 °C — characteristics suited to automotive and high‑voltage power applications where reliability and production readiness matter.

Key Features

• Component Type — Aluminum electrolytic, chip (radial can) surface-mount capacitor in a φ10 × 10L (1 × 1 cm) package.
• Capacitance & Voltage — 18 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 160 V and tolerance of ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Temperature Range — Guaranteed operation from −40 °C to +105 °C for 160 V rated parts.
• Endurance — 3000 hours at 105 °C with specified limits on capacitance change and dissipation factor after the endurance test.
• Dissipation & Leakage — tanδ up to 0.20 (120 Hz, 20 °C) and specified leakage behavior; characteristic leakage current value listed as 215.2 µA for this part.
• Ripple Performance — Ripple current ratings of 64 mA at 120 Hz and 106.9 mA at 10 kHz for typical ripple-handling guidance.
• Production-Friendly Packaging — Supplied in embossed carrier taping for mass production pick-and-place assembly.
• Qualification — AEC‑Q200 rated for applications requiring that level of component qualification.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Suitable for electronic control modules and other in-vehicle systems that require AEC‑Q200 qualified components and extended temperature capability.
• High-voltage DC power filtering — 160 V rating and 18 µF capacitance make it appropriate for smoothing and energy storage in higher-voltage power rails.
• DC-DC converters and power modules — Provides decoupling and ripple attenuation tied to its specified ripple current capability at 120 Hz and 10 kHz.
• Industrial power electronics — Endurance at 105 °C and controlled dissipation factor support sustained operation in elevated-temperature power systems.
