Key Features

• Core Capacitance and Voltage – 1000 µF (1 mF) capacitance rated at 10 V with ±20% tolerance, suitable where bulk energy storage or smoothing is required.
• Wide Operating Temperature – Specified operation from –55°C to +105°C, enabling use across harsh temperature environments.
• High-temperature Reflow Compatible – Designed to withstand 260°C peak reflow soldering; recommended reflow condition: 260°C peak for 5 seconds and 230°C over 60 seconds (two passes in general; see datasheet exceptions for larger sizes).
• Automotive Qualification & Compliance – AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, aligning the part with automotive-grade reliability and environmental regulations.
• Endurance and Shelf Life – Endurance rating of 1000 hours at 105°C with specified limits for capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage current; shelf life characteristics are defined for storage at 105°C for 1000 hours followed by voltage treatment.
• Ripple Current Characteristics – Ripple current capability of 310 mA at 120 Hz and 465 mA at 10 kHz, supporting dynamic load conditions within the specified frequency ranges.
• Leakage and Loss Characteristics – Leakage current specified as not more than 0.01CV or 3 µA (whichever is greater) after 2 minutes at 20°C; tan δ maximum for 10 V is 0.24 (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Package and Assembly – Surface-mount, radial can-style SMD suitable for carrier-tape automatic placement; typical part dimensions are approximately 1 cm × 1 cm with a recommended PCB land size of 1.03 cm × 1.03 cm.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics – Designed for ECUs and electronic modules where AEC-Q200 qualification and wide temperature operation are required.
• High-temperature assembly processes – Suited to boards that undergo 260°C peak reflow, enabling use in modern lead-free assembly flows.
• Automated production lines – Carrier-tape compatible SMD format simplifies placement for high-volume automated manufacturing of automotive and related electronic systems.

Unique Advantages

• High bulk capacitance in an SMD package: 1000 µF at 10 V provides substantial energy storage while maintaining a compact chip-type form factor.
• Reflow process resilience: Certified for 260°C peak reflow conditions to support lead-free, high-temperature assembly without additional handling constraints.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 status and defined endurance (1000 hours at 105°C) help reduce validation effort for automotive and other demanding applications.
• Wide temperature operation: –55°C to +105°C rating ensures stable performance across extreme environmental ranges common in vehicle electronics.
• Defined electrical behavior: Specified ripple current, leakage, and tan δ values enable predictable performance in power-filtering and smoothing roles.
• Manufacturing-friendly packaging: Surface-mount radial can and carrier-tape compatibility streamline automated pick-and-place assembly.
