Key Features

• Core Technology Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic construction provides stable capacitance with solid electrolyte benefits.
• Electrical Performance 100 µF nominal capacitance at 25 V with ±20% tolerance and tanδ 0.08 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz).
• Low ESR & High-Frequency Response ESR of 41 mΩ at 20°C/100 kHz supports low-loss operation in high-frequency circuits.
• High Ripple Current Rated low-frequency ripple current 850 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 1.7 A (100 kHz), enabling effective smoothing and decoupling.
• Leakage & Polarization Polarized device with specified leakage current of 75 µA after 2 minutes of rated-voltage application.
• Temperature & Endurance Operating range −55°C to +125°C and long life: 8000 hours at 125°C per endurance specification.
• Package & Mounting Chip-type surface-mount can, size φ8 × 7 mm (D × L), supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for assembly lines.
• Quality & Compliance AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant; SMD type rated for lead-free reflow conditions per the PCM series specification.

Typical Applications

• Automotive systems — Designed for automotive electronic modules where AEC‑Q200 qualification and −55°C to +125°C operation are required.
• Surface-mount power circuits — Low ESR and high ripple-current ratings make it suitable for SMD power stages and local decoupling on printed circuit boards.
• High-temperature electronics — Long endurance of 8000 hours at 125°C supports designs that must withstand sustained elevated operating temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• High-temperature endurance: 8000 hours at 125°C provides predictable long-term performance in elevated-temperature applications.
• Low ESR for efficient power delivery: 41 mΩ at 100 kHz reduces loss and improves transient response in power circuits.
• Robust ripple handling: 850 mA (120 Hz) and 1.7 A (100 kHz) ripple-current ratings accommodate both low- and high-frequency stress.
• Compact SMD can: φ8 × 7 mm package saves board space while providing high capacitance in a chip format.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC‑Q200 rating supports use in automotive electronics requiring standardized reliability.
• Production-ready packaging: Embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing eases automated assembly and storage.
