Key Features

• Core Construction Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic design for stable capacitance and reduced equivalent series resistance (ESR).
• Electrical Performance 220 µF capacitance at 16 V with capacitance tolerance ±20% (120 Hz, 20°C) and tanδ 0.12 at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Capacity ESR of 14 mΩ measured at 20°C/100 kHz, supporting high-frequency ripple current up to 5.05 A (100 kHz) and 2.525 A at 120 Hz.
• Reliability & Endurance Load life specified at 2000 hours at 105°C; endurance performance includes limits on capacitance change, tanδ and ESR after life testing as defined in the datasheet.
• Packaging & Assembly Surface-mount radial can (φ10 × 12.7 L) supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for automated placement; compatible with lead-free reflow soldering conditions up to a 260°C peak.
• Environmental & Qualification RoHS compliant and AEC-Q200 qualified for use in applications requiring automotive-grade component qualification.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Designed for automotive systems that demand AEC-Q200 qualification and long-term stability across –55°C to 105°C.
• Power supply decoupling — Low ESR and high ripple-current capability help stabilize DC rails under dynamic load conditions.
• High-frequency power conditioning — ESR performance at 100 kHz and specified high-frequency ripple current support capacitance roles in switching power stages.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR (14 mΩ @ 100 kHz): Enables efficient high-frequency decoupling and reduces heat generation in dense power designs.
• High ripple-current capability: Rated for 5.05 A at 100 kHz and 2.525 A at 120 Hz, supporting demanding transient and switching workloads.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 status provides design confidence for vehicle electronics and other high-reliability applications.
• Wide temperature range: –55°C to 105°C operation and a 2000-hour life rating at 105°C for extended field reliability.
• SMD can package with tape-and-reel: Compact φ10 × 12.7 mm can in embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing for automated assembly and handling.
• Lead-free reflow compatibility: SMD construction supports lead-free reflow soldering up to a 260°C peak per the component’s soldering guidance.
