• Electrical Performance 150 µF capacitance at 35 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance; ESR specified at 22 mΩ (100 kHz, 20°C) and ripple current ratings of 1.95 A at 120 Hz and 3.9 A at 100 kHz.
• Reliability & Endurance Long life: 4000 hours at 125°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current; endurance and post-test limits defined for capacitance change, ESR and leakage.
• Temperature Range & Stability Operating temperature range −55°C to +125°C with impedance ratios specified for +125°C and −55°C versus +20°C.
• Package & Assembly Surface-mount can package (chip type) with dimensions L: 1.0 cm × D: 0.8 cm and recommended land size 8.3 mm × 8.3 mm; compatible with lead‑free reflow soldering up to 260°C peak (per manufacturer profile).
• Qualification & Compliance AEC‑Q200 compliant and RoHS directive compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), supporting use where regulated materials and automotive-grade qualification are required.

Typical Applications

• Automotive systems Suitable for automotive electronic modules where AEC‑Q200 compliance, high ripple tolerance and long life at elevated temperature are required.
• High-temperature power electronics Use in power modules and assemblies that operate across −55°C to +125°C and require sustained ripple-current handling and low ESR.
• Compact surface-mount power designs Ideal for SMD power filtering and decoupling in size‑constrained assemblies thanks to its chip can footprint and low-profile package.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple-current capability: 3.9 A at 100 kHz and 1.95 A at 120 Hz, enabling effective smoothing in demanding power applications.
• Low ESR: 22 mΩ at 100 kHz (20°C) reduces losses and improves thermal performance under AC loading.
• Long high-temperature life: Rated for 4000 hours at 125°C under specified conditions, providing predictable endurance in elevated-temperature environments.
• AEC‑Q200 compliance: Meets automotive-grade qualification requirements for designs requiring industry-standard reliability assurance.
• Reflow-compatible SMD package: Lead‑free reflow soldering compatibility to 260°C peak for modern assembly processes.
• Wide operating temperature: −55°C to +125°C supports designs across harsh environmental ranges.
