Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 82 µF nominal capacitance with a 50 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable for bulk decoupling and energy-storage functions.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Capability: ESR specified at 34 mOhm (100 kHz) with ripple currents of 1 A (120 Hz) and 2 A (100 kHz), supporting high-frequency and high-current applications.
• High-Temperature Endurance: Rated operating temperature range from −55°C to +125°C with a lifetime of 8,000 hours at 125°C (endurance specification from the datasheet).
• AEC‑Q200 Qualified: Qualification for demanding environments provides a recognized reliability baseline for automotive and similar applications.
• Reflow & RoHS Compliance: Lead‑free reflow soldering compatible to a 260°C peak and compliant with RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• SMD Can Package: Radial can SMD package optimized for surface-mount assembly; nominal footprint recommendations are provided in the product data.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics: Power filtering and decoupling in in-vehicle control modules and power subsystems where AEC‑Q200 qualification and high-temperature endurance are required.
• High-Temperature Power Modules: Energy storage and smoothing in power converters and DC–DC stages that operate up to 125°C and demand sustained ripple performance.
• Surface-Mount Assemblies Requiring Lead-Free Reflow: SMD can construction compatible with 260°C peak reflow for modern lead‑free manufacturing flows.

Unique Advantages

• Long High-Temperature Life: 8,000 hours at 125°C supports designs that must maintain capacitance and performance under extended elevated-temperature operation.
• High Ripple Handling with Low ESR: 34 mOhm (100 kHz) ESR and specified ripple-current ratings enable reliable filtering at both low and high frequencies.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification: AEC‑Q200 qualification provides an established reliability standard for automotive and similarly demanding applications.
• Lead‑Free Reflow Compatibility: Full correspondence to 260°C peak lead‑free reflow conditions enables use in modern Pb‑free assembly processes.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range: −55°C to +125°C rating allows use across harsh thermal environments without cross‑referencing additional parts.
• RoHS Compliant: Conforms to applicable RoHS directives for environmental and regulatory compliance.
