• Packaging & Assembly: Supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for automated placement; surface-mount land size recommended 10.3 × 10.3 mm.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Power Supply Decoupling: Low ESR and high ripple capability make it suitable for smoothing and bulk decoupling on DC–DC converter outputs and switching power supplies.
• Input Filtering for Power Electronics: Handles high ripple currents for input filters on motor drivers, inverters, and other power stages requiring robust energy buffering.
• Automotive Electronics: AEC‑Q200 qualification and extended temperature range support use in automotive control modules and power management circuits.
• High-Temperature Systems: Long life at 125°C and reflow compatibility make it appropriate for thermal-stressed assemblies and compact power boards.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple-current tolerance: 1.6 A (120 Hz) and 3.2 A (100 kHz) ratings reduce need for parallel devices in high-stress power rails.
• Very low ESR: 24 mΩ at 100 kHz lowers loss and improves transient response for switching regulators and post‑regulator filtering.
• Long high-temperature endurance: 8000 hours at 125°C supports extended lifetime in elevated-temperature environments.
• AEC‑Q200 qualified: Provides a documented automotive reliability baseline for designs targeting vehicular and similarly demanding applications.
• Surface-mount form factor with taped packaging: Embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing streamline automated assembly and inventory handling.
• RoHS compliant: Conforms to environmental directives for lead-free production processes.
