Key Features

• Core Technology – Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic construction for stable electrical performance and low loss.
• Capacitance & Voltage – 560 µF nominal capacitance at a 10 V rated voltage with tolerance −20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Low ESR – ESR of 15 mΩ measured at 100 kHz and 20°C, supporting efficient power delivery and reduced thermal dissipation.
• High Ripple Current – Rated ripple capability of 2.4 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 4.8 A at 100 kHz (high frequency) to handle dynamic load currents.
• Thermal & Endurance – Operating temperature range −55°C to +105°C with a rated load life of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Reliability & Qualification – AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant; designed to meet automotive and industrial reliability expectations.
• Package & Assembly – Surface‑mount radial can (SMD) in φ10 × 10 mm size; supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture proof packing; compatible with lead‑free reflow (260°C peak correspondence per series data).

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics – AEC‑Q200 qualification and 105°C endurance suit power modules, ECU filtering and other vehicle electronic systems.
• Power Supply Decoupling – Low ESR (15 mΩ @100 kHz) and high ripple ratings make it appropriate for smoothing and decoupling in DC‑DC converters and voltage regulation stages.
• Industrial Power Electronics – Robust temperature range and long life support use in industrial controllers and power management circuits exposed to thermal stress.

Unique Advantages

• Low Loss, High Efficiency: 15 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces power dissipation and improves converter efficiency.
