Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 220 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 35 V, polarized design for power filtering and bulk energy storage.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Handling — ESR of 21 mΩ measured at 100 kHz and ripple current ratings of 1.65 A at 120 Hz and 3.3 A at 100 kHz support high-frequency decoupling and power delivery.
• High-Temperature Endurance — Long life: 4000 hours at 125°C; specified endurance and ESR performance are maintained through high-temperature stress and endurance testing.
• Broad Operating Range — Specified for -55°C to +125°C operation, with measured impedance stability across the temperature range.
• SMD & Reflow-Compatible — Surface-mount radial can (SMD) package with lead-free reflow soldering compatibility; peak solder temperature allowance up to 260°C per datasheet reflow conditions.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification — AEC-Q200 qualified for use in applications requiring automotive-level reliability.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Compact Footprint — Package dimension L: 1.2 × D: 0.8 cm with recommended land size L: 8.3 × W: 8.3 mm for PCB layout.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power electronics — Bulk and decoupling capacitors for modules where AEC-Q200 qualification, high ripple capability, and elevated temperature endurance are required.
• DC–DC converters and point-of-load supplies — Low ESR and high ripple-current ratings help maintain stable output and reduce voltage ripple in high-frequency converters.
• High-reliability industrial power systems — Long-life 4000-hour rating at 125°C and wide operating temperature range make this capacitor suitable for industrial power and control applications exposed to elevated temperatures.
• Compact SMD power modules — Small footprint and surface-mount radial can packaging support space-constrained, high-density power assemblies with lead-free reflow process flows.

Unique Advantages

• Proven high-temperature endurance: 4000 hours at 125°C provides predictable lifetime behavior in hot operating environments, simplifying thermal reliability planning.
• Low ESR at high frequency: 21 mΩ at 100 kHz reduces losses and improves efficiency in high-frequency power conversion and filtering.
• High ripple-current capability: Rated for 1.65 A (120 Hz) and 3.3 A (100 kHz), enabling sustained performance under high AC stress conditions.
• AEC-Q200 qualification: Designed to meet automotive-grade reliability requirements for systems that demand robust component qualification.
• Lead-free reflow compatibility: Conforms to specified lead-free reflow profiles up to a 260°C peak, easing integration into modern SMT assembly processes.
• RoHS compliance: Meets current RoHS regulatory requirements for environmental and material standards.
