Key Features

• Dielectric / Construction Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolyte in a chip-type SMD can for stable capacitance and conductivity.
• Capacitance & Voltage 100 µF rated capacitance at 25 V with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Wide Temperature Range & Long Life Operating temperature range −55°C to +135°C and an endurance rating of 4000 hours at 135°C.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Current ESR of 41 mΩ at 100 kHz (20°C) with ripple-current ratings of 800 mA at 100 kHz and 400 mA at 120 Hz, supporting effective power-decoupling and smoothing.
• Reliability & Qualification AEC-Q200 qualified and compliant with RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863); ESR after endurance is specified at −40°C.
• Reflow & SMD Assembly Designed for lead-free reflow soldering with a 260°C peak capability (reflow profile limits apply); SMD mounting (radial can) with standard land pattern sizing.
• Compact Package Body size L: 7 mm × D: 8 mm with recommended land pattern L: 8.3 mm × W: 8.3 mm for PCB layout.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — AEC-Q200 qualification and high-temperature endurance make this capacitor suited for power filtering and decoupling in automotive control modules and electronics assemblies.
• Power supply output filtering — Low ESR and high ripple-current capability provide effective smoothing for DC-DC converter outputs and power rails.
• High-temperature systems — Rated for operation to 135°C with a 4000-hour high-temperature life rating, suitable where sustained elevated-temperature performance is required.

Unique Advantages

• High-temperature endurance: 4000 hours at 135°C provides predictable lifetime performance in elevated-temperature environments.
• Low ESR for efficient power handling: 41 mΩ at 100 kHz reduces losses and improves voltage stability under ripple conditions.
• High ripple-current capability: 800 mA at 100 kHz supports demanding switching regulator and power-conversion applications.
• AEC-Q200 qualified: Qualification supports use in applications requiring recognized reliability standards.
• Lead-free reflow compatibility: Compatible with 260°C peak lead-free reflow profiles for modern SMT assembly flows.
• Compact SMD can footprint: Small 7 × 8 mm body and defined land pattern facilitate board-level space savings while maintaining capacitance.
