• Leakage & Dissipation — Leakage current specified at 592 µA; tan δ (loss tangent) 0.12 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating temperature range −55°C to +105°C with endurance rated for 2000 hours at 105°C under rated voltage.
• Automotive Qualification — AEC‑Q200 rating and "Applications: Automotive" designation for use in automotive electronic systems.
• Compact SMD Package — φ8 × 7 mm package (L: 7 × D: 8 mm) with surface-mount land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm; available in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for assembly.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Suitable for automotive systems where AEC‑Q200 qualification and operation from −55°C to +105°C are required.
• Power Supply Filtering — Used for decoupling and smoothing on power rails, leveraging 470 µF capacitance, low ESR (22 mΩ), and high ripple-current capability.
• Compact SMD Power Designs — Fits space-constrained boards needing high bulk capacitance in a φ8 × 7 mm radial can SMD package.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Specified 3.1 A at 100 kHz (high frequency) and 1.55 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) supports demanding power-conditioning tasks.
• Low loss and heat generation: 22 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and tan δ 0.12 (20°C, 120 Hz) minimize dissipation in high-frequency applications.
• Automotive-capable reliability: AEC‑Q200 rating and 2000-hour endurance at 105°C provide design confidence for automotive electronics deployments.
• Small footprint with high capacitance: 470 µF in a φ8 × 7 mm SMD can helps reduce BOM complexity and save board area compared with larger packages.
• Robust operating range: −55°C to +105°C temperature range supports operation across harsh environmental conditions.
