• High-temperature Endurance — Rated for operation from -55 °C to 135 °C with a specified lifetime of 4000 hours at 135 °C.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Current — ESR specified at 18 mΩ (100 kHz, 20 °C); rated ripple current of 2.8 A at 100 kHz and 420 mA at 120 Hz.
• Reliability & Qualification — AEC-Q200 qualified; designed to meet endurance, damp-heat, soldering-heat and shelf-life requirements outlined in the datasheet.
• Leakage & Impedance Characteristics — Leakage current specified as not more than 0.01·C·V (μA) after 2 minutes at 20 °C; impedance ratios specified for low-temperature performance at 100 kHz.
• Package & Mounting — Surface-mount radial can (chip) package with recommended land size and SMD handling suitable for automated assembly.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Automotive power electronics — Bulk smoothing and decoupling on 25 V power rails where high ripple-current handling and 135 °C endurance are required.
• High-temperature electronics — Use in systems exposed to elevated ambient temperatures that require long life at 135 °C.
• Surface-mount power modules — Local energy storage and filtering in compact SMD power assemblies that benefit from low ESR and robust endurance.

Unique Advantages

• High-temperature rated longevity: 4000 hours at 135 °C provides predictability for designs operating in hot environments.
• Low ESR for improved transient response: 18 mΩ (100 kHz) reduces voltage drop under high-frequency load changes and supports tighter regulation.
• Strong ripple-current capability: 2.8 A at 100 kHz and 420 mA at 120 Hz accommodate demanding switching power supplies and converters.
• AEC-Q200 qualified: Qualification supports use in automotive-grade designs where industry qualification is required.
• Compact SMD chip form factor: Radial can SMD package enables integration into automated assembly and space-constrained boards.
