Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF rated capacitance at 25 V with tolerance ±20% (120 Hz, 20°C).
• Low Loss / Tan δ — tanδ of 0.14 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz for stable AC behavior under rated conditions.
• Low ESR, High-Frequency Performance — ESR of 14 mΩ at 20°C, 100 kHz, supporting high-frequency decoupling and reduced power loss.
• High Ripple Current Capability — 555 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 3.7 A at 100 kHz (high frequency) for demanding ripple environments.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 117.5 µA after standard voltage application.
• High Temperature Endurance — Rated operating temperature −55°C to +135°C with 4000 hours endurance at 135°C under rated conditions.
• Surface-Mount Packaging — Radial can SMD package, size φ10 × 12.5 mm (L: 1.25 × D: 1.00 cm), supplied in embossed carrier taping for automated assembly.
• Quality & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant for regulated, high-reliability designs.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — AEC-Q200 qualification and −55°C to +135°C rating make this capacitor suitable for automotive control modules and in-vehicle power systems.
• High-Temperature Electronics — Long life of 4000 hours at 135°C supports power subsystems and assemblies operating in elevated-temperature environments.
• Power Supply Filtering — Low ESR (14 mΩ) and high ripple current capability (3.7 A at 100 kHz) benefit output smoothing and decoupling in switching power supplies.

Unique Advantages

• High-temperature robustness: 4000 hours endurance at 135°C offers predictable lifetime for hot-board applications.
• Reduced power loss: Low ESR at high frequency (14 mΩ at 100 kHz) lowers dissipation and improves efficiency in high-switching environments.
• High ripple capacity: 3.7 A ripple current capability at 100 kHz supports aggressive switching regulator outputs and transients.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 status provides clear traceability for automotive and other high-reliability programs.
• Assembly-ready packaging: Embossed carrier taping simplifies pick-and-place integration for volume production.
• Regulatory readiness: RoHS compliance for deployments subject to environmental directives.
