• High ripple-current capability — Low-frequency ripple current 2.615 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 5.23 A (100 kHz) to handle sustained and high-frequency load variations.
• Thermal and lifetime specifications — Rated operating temperature −55°C to +105°C with a load life of 2000 hours at 105°C to support long-term stability under elevated temperatures.
• Leakage and dissipation — Leakage current specified at 1120 μA and tanδ (DF) of 0.12 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, 10 V to aid predictable low-loss performance.
• Package and mounting — SMD radial can in a φ10 × 12.7 mm package; supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for automated assembly.
• Soldering robustness — SMD type supports lead-free reflow soldering conditions up to a 260°C peak as described in product series guidance.
• Qualification and compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, suitable for designs requiring recognized component-level qualification and environmental compliance.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Bulk decoupling and power-rail stabilization in electronic control modules where AEC-Q200 qualification and high-temperature endurance are required.
• Power supply filtering — Bulk smoothing and ripple reduction on DC-DC converters and voltage regulators, leveraging low ESR and high ripple-current capacity.
• Embedded systems — Energy storage and transient suppression on compact boards that need high capacitance in a small SMD package.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Specified LF and HF ripple currents (2.615 A at 120 Hz, 5.23 A at 100 kHz) reduce heating and extend system stability under dynamic loads.
• Low ESR for efficient power delivery: 13 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and 20°C improves transient response and minimizes dissipation in high-frequency applications.
• Extended high-temperature life: 2000 hours at 105°C provides predictable aging characteristics for long-term deployments in elevated-temperature environments.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 qualification supports integration into designs that require component-level automotive qualification.
• Compact SMD can: φ10 × 12.7 mm package delivers 560 μF bulk capacitance in a footprint optimized for automated assembly and space-constrained layouts.
• Manufacturing-ready packaging: Embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing simplifies pick-and-place handling and storage for volume production.
