Key Features

• High Capacitance: 820 µF nominal capacitance for bulk decoupling and energy storage on low-voltage rails.
• Rated Voltage: 10 V rated voltage suitable for common power-supply rails.
• Long Life Endurance: Rated for 20000 hours at 105°C to support extended operational lifetimes under elevated temperature.
• Low ESR: 15 mΩ ESR measured at 100 kHz, reducing conduction losses and improving power-stage efficiency.
• High Ripple Current: 2.15 A at 120 Hz and 4.3 A at 100 kHz to handle AC stress and smoothing in power applications.
• Wide Temperature Range: Operational from −55°C to +105°C to maintain performance across temperature extremes.
• Surface-Mount Package: Chip-type radial/can SMD package with recommended land size 1.03 × 1.03 cm for PCB footprint planning.
• Reflow Compatibility: Designed for lead-free reflow soldering with peak-temperature correspondence up to 260°C.
• Qualification & Compliance: AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), meeting industry environmental and reliability standards.

Typical Applications

• Automotive: Bulk decoupling and power-filtering on automotive electronic modules where long life (20000 h at 105°C), AEC-Q200 qualification, and high ripple-current capability are required.

Unique Advantages

• Extended Endurance: 20000-hour rating at 105°C provides predictable lifetime performance for designs exposed to sustained high temperatures.
• Improved Power Efficiency: Low ESR (15 mΩ at 100 kHz) minimizes I²R losses and supports higher-efficiency power conversion and regulation.
• Robust Ripple Handling: High ripple-current ratings (2.15 A at 120 Hz, 4.3 A at 100 kHz) enable reliable smoothing under dynamic loads.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification: AEC-Q200 qualification and automotive application listing support use in vehicle electronics requiring component-level reliability.
• SMD Assembly Ready: Chip-type SMD format and compatibility with 260°C peak lead-free reflow simplify automated assembly and reduce process risk.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance ensures alignment with current environmental directives for electronic products.
