• High Temperature Endurance — Qualified for 4000 hours at 125°C with specified end-of-life limits for capacitance change, tan δ and ESR.
• Automotive-Grade Reliability — AEC-Q200 rated and designed for automotive use cases; temperature range -55°C to 125°C supports harsh-environment operation.
• Compact Surface-Mount Can — Radial can SMD package, size φ10 × 12.5 mm (D × L), supplied on embossed carrier tape and vibration resistant for automated assembly.
• Leakage and Stability — Leakage current specified at 0.01CV (µA) after 2 minutes at 20°C; shelf-life and damp-heat characteristics specified in datasheet for long-term stability.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements for material compliance.

Typical Applications

• Battery Management Systems (BMS) — Provides high ripple handling and low ESR required for charge/discharge smoothing and power stabilization in battery packs.
• Automotive Power Electronics — Suited for DC-link and decoupling in automotive power modules where AEC-Q200 qualification and 125°C endurance are required.
• DC–DC Converters and Power Modules — Low ESR and high ripple-current capability help reduce thermal stress and improve transient response in converter inputs/outputs.
• High-Reliability Industrial Electronics — Long life at elevated temperature and vibration resistance make it appropriate for ruggedized control and power systems.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: 3.5 A at 100 kHz and 525 mA at 120 Hz ensure robust performance under high AC stress, reducing the need for parallel capacitors.
• Low ESR for efficient filtering: 15 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz lowers conduction losses and improves converter efficiency and thermal management.
• Extended high-temperature life: 4000 hours at 125°C provides predictable end-of-life characteristics for long-term reliability planning.
• AEC-Q200 qualified: Automotive-grade qualification supports use in vehicle electronics and other safety-conscious designs.
• Compact SMD can with tape packaging: φ10 × 12.5 mm package on embossed carrier tape simplifies automated placement and assembly while resisting vibration.
• Conductive polymer hybrid technology: Delivers low loss (tan δ specified) and stable capacitance across frequency and temperature conditions.
