• Low ESR and high ripple capability ESR specified at 70 mΩ (100 kHz) and rated ripple currents of 1.2 A at 100 kHz and 600 mA at 120 Hz for effective high-frequency filtering and power-stage use.
• Long-life reliability Endurance specified as 20,000 hours at 105°C, meeting defined capacitance, tan δ and ESR retention criteria after endurance testing.
• Automotive qualification and environmental compliance AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), supporting regulated and automotive designs.
• Surface-mount assembly SMD type with lead-free reflow soldering correspondence for a 260°C peak; recommended land size 6.6 × 6.6 mm for PCB layout.
• Operating temperature range Rated for −55°C to +105°C, suitable for wide ambient temperature conditions.
• Compact footprint Package dimension L: 6 × D: 6.3 mm for space-constrained board designs.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics Suitable for in-vehicle modules where AEC-Q200 qualification and long-term thermal endurance are required.
• Power regulation and filtering Low ESR and high ripple-current ratings make it suitable for high-frequency power stages and local decoupling in compact power assemblies.
• Surface-mount assemblies Designed for lead-free reflow processes up to a 260°C peak, enabling standard SMD production flows.

Unique Advantages

• Extended high-temperature life: Rated for 20,000 hours at 105°C, providing predictable end-of-life characteristics for long-duty applications.
• Low series resistance: 70 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces losses and improves voltage stability in fast-changing circuits.
• High ripple handling: 1.2 A at 100 kHz and 600 mA at 120 Hz support demanding ripple and transient conditions in power electronics.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 rating aligns the part with automotive development requirements and validation practices.
• Assembly-ready SMD format: Lead-free reflow correspondence to 260°C peak simplifies integration into modern SMT production lines.
• Compact PCB footprint: 6 × 6.3 mm package with a 6.6 × 6.6 mm recommended land saves board space without sacrificing performance.
