• Low ESR — Equivalent series resistance of 21 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, enabling improved high-frequency performance.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 1.65 A at 120 Hz and 3.3 A at 100 kHz for applications with significant AC stress.
• Long Load Life — Endurance specified at 2000 hours at 105°C with defined limits on capacitance change, tan δ and ESR.
• Automotive Grade — AEC-Q200 qualified for use in applications requiring automotive-level reliability.
• Wide Temperature Range — Rated for −55°C to +105°C operation.
• SMD, Reflow-Compatible Package — Surface-mount radial can designed for lead-free reflow soldering with peak compatibility up to 260°C (one reflow at ≤260°C), suitable for automated assembly.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Package & Footprint — Physical size approximately L: 0.8 × D: 1.0 cm with recommended land size L: 1.03 × W: 1.03 cm; polarized electrolytic construction.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Use in automotive control modules and electronic subsystems where AEC-Q200 qualification and extended temperature range are required.
• Power Supply Filtering — Bulk and decoupling in power rails that demand low ESR and high ripple-current handling for stable voltage regulation.
• High-Ripple Environments — Applications with substantial AC stress benefit from the specified ripple current ratings at both low and high frequencies.
• Surface-Mount Assemblies — Reflow-compatible SMD package for automated PCB assembly in compact designs.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR at 100 kHz: 21 mΩ ESR supports improved high-frequency performance and reduced power loss in decoupling and filtering applications.
• High ripple-current capability: Rated 3.3 A at 100 kHz (and 1.65 A at 120 Hz) to handle AC stress without compromising lifetime.
• Proven endurance: 2000-hour load life at 105°C provides predictable degradation limits for long-term designs.
• AEC-Q200 qualification: Certification for automotive-level reliability and design acceptance in vehicle electronics.
• Reflow-ready SMD form factor: Lead-free reflow compatibility (peak up to 260°C as specified) simplifies integration into automated production flows.
• Wide operating temperature: −55°C to +105°C rating supports use across broad environmental conditions.
