Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage: 150 µF nominal capacitance with a 10 V rated voltage and tolerance of ±20% (−20% ~ 20%), providing defined energy storage for decoupling and bulk applications.
• Low ESR: Rated ESR of 21 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, supporting high-frequency performance and reducing loss in power circuits.
• High Ripple Current: Rated ripple currents of 1.44 A at 120 Hz and 2.88 A at 100 kHz, enabling sustained operation under AC ripple and switching conditions.
• Long-Life Thermal Endurance: Endurance specified at 20,000 hours at 105°C, providing extended operational life under high-temperature stress.
• Temperature Range: Operates from −55°C to +105°C, matching a wide range of ambient and thermal conditions.
• SMD Can Package: Chip-type, surface-mount can package (Size: L: 7 × D: 8 mm) designed for reflow assembly; compatible with lead-free reflow soldering up to a 260°C peak.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification and Compliance: AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), meeting regulatory and industry quality expectations.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics: Specified for automotive use and AEC-Q200 qualified, suitable for electronic modules within vehicles that require long-term thermal endurance and reliability.
• Surface-Mount Power Modules: SMD chip-type package designed for lead-free reflow assembly in compact power and control boards where space and assembly compatibility matter.
• High-Temperature Environments: Long life rating of 20,000 hours at 105°C and an operating range down to −55°C support deployment in elevated-temperature systems and environments.

Unique Advantages

• Durable High-Temperature Endurance: 20,000 hours at 105°C provides predictable lifetime performance under sustained thermal stress.
• High-Frequency Efficiency: Low ESR (21 mΩ at 100 kHz) and high ripple-current ratings reduce loss and thermal buildup in switching and high-frequency power applications.
• Automotive-Ready Qualification: AEC-Q200 qualification plus RoHS compliance supports integration into regulated and safety-conscious platforms.
• Reflow-Compatible SMD Form Factor: Chip-type SMD can with lead-free reflow soldering compatibility (260°C peak) eases assembly in modern surface-mount production flows.
• Wide Thermal Operating Range: −55°C to +105°C operation ensures performance across harsh temperature cycles and environments.
