• Low ESR & High Ripple Handling — 19 mΩ ESR measured at 20°C/100 kHz, with 1.15 A low-frequency ripple current (120 Hz) and 2.30 A high-frequency ripple current (100 kHz).
• Leakage Current — Typical leakage current 326 µA after rated voltage application.
• High-Temperature Endurance — Long life: 8000 hours at 125°C per endurance specification.
• Temperature Range — Operational from −55°C to +125°C; impedance stability specified across this range.
• Automotive Qualification — AEC-Q200 qualified for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability.
• SMD Package & Assembly — Chip-type radial can (φ10 × 10L / 1.0 × 1.0 cm) for surface-mount placement; compatible with lead-free reflow soldering at a peak of 260°C per datasheet guidance. Embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing support automated production.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronic systems — AEC-Q200 qualification and 125°C endurance make this capacitor suitable for automotive control modules and other vehicle electronics requiring long-term thermal reliability.
• DC–DC converters and power modules — Low ESR (19 mΩ) and high ripple current (1.15 A @120 Hz, 2.30 A @100 kHz) provide effective bulk filtering and decoupling in regulated power stages.
• Compact SMD power designs — Chip-type radial can in a 1.0 × 1.0 cm footprint supports space-constrained surface-mount layouts while maintaining high capacitance.
• High-temperature industrial electronics — Rated for −55°C to +125°C and validated for 8000 hours at 125°C for reliable operation in thermally demanding environments.

Unique Advantages

• High capacitance in a compact SMD can — 680 µF in a φ10 × 10L package reduces board area compared with larger discrete solutions while retaining bulk energy storage.
• Superior ripple performance — Low ESR and specified ripple currents reduce heating and improve stability in high-frequency and high-current power paths.
• Long high-temperature life — 8000 hours at 125°C provides predictable endurance for designs exposed to elevated ambient temperatures.
• Automotive-grade reliability — AEC-Q200 qualification supports use in regulated automotive applications that require component-level quality assurance.
• Assembly-friendly packaging — Embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing facilitate automated placement and handling in production lines.
• Lead-free reflow compatibility — Conforms to lead-free reflow conditions with a 260°C peak, enabling common lead-free PCB assembly processes.
