Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 220 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 25 V with ±20% tolerance (120 Hz, 20°C).
• Conductive Polymer Dielectric — Solid polymer construction for low ESR and stable performance across frequency and temperature.
• Low ESR — 20 mΩ equivalent series resistance specified at 100 kHz, 20°C for reduced power loss and improved filtering.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 2.4 A at 100 kHz (and 1.2 A at 120 Hz), enabling effective smoothing in power circuits.
• Extended High‑Temperature Life — Endurance specified at 8000 hours at 125°C with defined limits: capacitance change within ±20%, ESR ≤ 200% of initial, leakage current ≤ initial specified value.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Specified range from −55°C to +125°C to support demanding thermal environments.
• Automotive Reliability — AEC‑Q200 qualified for applications requiring automotive-grade component reliability.
• RoHS Compliant & Lead‑Free Reflow — Compliant to RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) and compatible with lead‑free reflow soldering up to a 260°C peak.
• Compact SMD Can Package — Radial can SMD package with dimensions L: 1.0 cm × D: 0.8 cm and recommended land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm for compact board layouts.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Filtering and decoupling in systems that require AEC‑Q200 qualified components and long life at elevated temperature.
• High-Temperature Power Modules — Bulk and output capacitors where sustained operation up to 125°C and high ripple capability are required.
• Surface-Mount Power Supplies — Low ESR and high ripple current handling for compact SMD power designs and DC–DC converter outputs.

Unique Advantages

• Long High‑Temperature Endurance: 8000 hours at 125°C with controlled changes in capacitance, ESR and leakage current, supporting extended service life in harsh environments.
• Low ESR for Efficient Filtering: 20 mΩ at 100 kHz reduces losses and improves transient response in power delivery networks.
• High Ripple Capability: 2.4 A ripple current at 100 kHz allows reliable smoothing in high-frequency applications.
• AEC‑Q200 Qualified: Meets automotive reliability requirements for use in systems that require qualification against industry stress tests.
• Lead‑Free Reflow Compatible: SMD construction and 260°C peak reflow compatibility simplify modern assembly processes.
• Compact Footprint: Small can package and defined land pattern enable space‑constrained board designs without compromising performance.
