• Electrical Performance – 150 µF rated capacitance with ±20% tolerance; tanδ (DF) 0.12 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, 10 V.
• Low ESR & Ripple Capability – ESR 25 mΩ at 20°C/100 kHz, with ripple current ratings of 1.25 A (120 Hz) and 2.5 A (100 kHz).
• Leakage and Endurance – Leakage current specified at 300 µA and endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C with the rated voltage applied.
• Thermal Range & Reliability – Operating temperature range from −55°C to +105°C; series-level specifications include resistance to soldering heat and damp heat testing per the PCG datasheet.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package – Can-style SMD package with dimensions φ6.3 × 6L (L: 6 mm, D: 6.3 mm) and embossed carrier taping for automated placement; surface-mount land size 6.6 × 6.6 mm.
• Automotive-Grade – AEC-Q200 rated for use in automotive and other demanding applications.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics – AEC-Q200 rating and high-temperature endurance (−55°C to +105°C) support use in vehicle electronic modules.
• High-ripple power circuits – Rated ripple currents of 1.25 A (120 Hz) and 2.5 A (100 kHz) suit circuits subject to significant AC stress.
• Space-constrained SMD assemblies – φ6.3 × 6L package and embossed carrier taping facilitate compact board layouts and automated assembly.
• High-frequency decoupling – Low ESR at 100 kHz (25 mΩ) targets decoupling and filtering in compact power rails.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple handling – Specified low- and high-frequency ripple currents enable robust operation in switching and high-frequency power stages.
• Low ESR at 100 kHz – 25 mΩ ESR supports efficient high-frequency performance and reduced heat generation.
• Automotive-capable qualification – AEC-Q200 rating and specified endurance (2000 h at 105°C) provide confidence for demanding, long-life designs.
• Compact SMD format with production-ready packaging – φ6.3 × 6L can in embossed carrier taping simplifies pick-and-place integration for high-volume manufacturing.
• Measured stability – tanδ 0.12 (20°C, 120 Hz) and controlled leakage (300 µA) support predictable behavior across assembly and test.
