Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 270 µF nominal capacitance rated at 10 V, tolerance ±20% at 120 Hz, 20 °C.
• Low ESR — Equivalent series resistance of 21 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, providing reduced loss in high-frequency applications.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 1.61 A at 120 Hz and 3.22 A at 100 kHz for robust handling of AC content on DC rails.
• Thermal Endurance — Load life specified as 2000 hours at 105 °C; endurance and damp-heat performance meet defined retention and ESR limits after testing.
• Temperature Range — Operating range from -55 °C to +105 °C to cover a wide set of environmental conditions.
• Surface-Mount Package — Compact SMD radial can, package dimensions L: 7 × D: 8 mm with recommended land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm; height seated max 7 mm.
• Manufacturing & Compliance — Lead-free reflow soldering compatible with a 260 °C peak profile (single reflow at ≤260 °C), RoHS compliant, and AEC-Q200 qualified.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Designed for use in automotive systems requiring AEC-Q200 qualification and reliable operation across -55 °C to 105 °C.
• Board-level power filtering — Compact SMD package with low ESR and high ripple-current rating suited for decoupling and smoothing on DC power rails.
• High-density power modules — Higher capacitance in a small footprint supports space-constrained power conversion and regulation modules.

Unique Advantages

• Low conduction losses: 21 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces dissipation in high-frequency circuits and helps improve conversion efficiency.
• High ripple capability: Rated ripple currents of 1.61 A (120 Hz) and 3.22 A (100 kHz) support sustained AC loading on DC rails.
• Proven thermal reliability: 2000-hour load life at 105 °C and specified endurance limits provide predictable aging and performance retention.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 status indicates suitability for automotive electronics design flows and validation requirements.
• Manufacturing-ready: Lead-free reflow compatibility to a 260 °C peak simplifies surface-mount assembly in modern production processes.
• Space-efficient — Small L: 7 × D: 8 mm SMD can enables higher component density on PCBs without sacrificing capacitance.
