• Rated Voltage — 25 V DC rating suitable for mid-voltage power rails.
• Low ESR / High-frequency performance — ESR 30 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, 20 °C, enabling efficient high-frequency decoupling.
• High ripple-current capability — 1.5 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 3.0 A at 100 kHz (high frequency) for switching and power-conversion loads.
• Leakage and dissipation — Leakage current 588 µA; tan δ 0.12 at 20 °C, 120 Hz.
• Endurance & temperature range — Load life 2000 hours at 105 °C; operating range −55 °C to +105 °C.
• Package & assembly — Surface-mount radial can (φ8 × 12L); embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing; compatible with lead-free reflow soldering up to 260 °C peak per series specification.
• Qualification & compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power electronics — Bulk decoupling and high-frequency filtering on 12 V/24 V power rails where AEC-Q200 qualification and wide temperature range are required.
• DC–DC converters and power modules — Input/output smoothing for switching regulators benefiting from low ESR and high ripple-current capability.
• Infotainment and control modules — Local energy storage and noise suppression in compact SMD form for electronic control and infotainment boards.
