• Loss Characteristic — tanδ (DF) of 0.12 measured at 20℃, 120 Hz for predictable dissipation behavior.
• Thermal & Endurance — Operating range −55℃ to 105℃ with a rated endurance of 2000 hours at 105℃ under rated voltage.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 2624 µA after 2 minutes at rated voltage and 20℃.
• Package & Mounting — φ10 × 12.7 mm radial can in SMD form factor, surface-mount land size L: 1.03 × W: 1.03 cm, supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for automated assembly.
• Qualification — AEC-Q200 rating for applications requiring component-level automotive stress qualification.
• Production Status — Mass production availability.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Suitable for power decoupling and smoothing in automotive modules where AEC-Q200 qualification and high ripple handling are required.
• Compact Power Supplies — High capacitance and low ESR in a small φ10 × 12.7 mm SMD package make it appropriate for board-level bulk filtering in compact DC-DC converters and regulator outputs.
• High-Frequency Switching Circuits — 18 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and 4.2 A high-frequency ripple capability support effective suppression of switching noise in power stages.

Unique Advantages

• High Capacitance in Small Footprint: 820 µF in a φ10 × 12.7 mm SMD can enables designers to meet bulk capacitance targets without expanding board area.
• Low Power Loss at High Frequency: 18 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces I²R loss and heat generation in high-switching environments.
• Robust Thermal-Endurance Profile: Rated for −55℃ to 105℃ with 2000 hours endurance at 105℃, supporting reliability in elevated-temperature applications.
• High Ripple Handling: 2.1 A (120 Hz) and 4.2 A (100 kHz) ripple-current specifications allow use on pulsed and switching power rails with reduced stress.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification: AEC-Q200 rating enables integration into modules that require component-level automotive stress testing.
• Assembly-Ready Packaging: Embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing facilitate automated surface-mount placement and storage.
