• Reliability & Endurance Long-life rated for 5000 hours at 105°C with endurance characteristics specified for capacitance, tan δ and ESR after life testing.
• Temperature Range Qualified for operation from −55°C to +105°C with impedance stability limits defined at both high and low temperatures.
• Assembly Compatibility Surface-mount package designed for lead-free reflow soldering; conforms to lead-free reflow peak conditions up to 260°C (single reflow at 260°C peak).
• Qualification & Compliance AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), supporting regulated manufacturing requirements.
• Compact Mechanical Profile Small can-style SMD package with dimensions approximately 7 × 8 mm and recommended land pattern of 8.3 × 8.3 mm for PCB mounting.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics – Suited for automotive systems that require AEC-Q200 qualification and long-term reliability at elevated temperatures.
• Power supply decoupling and smoothing – Low ESR (28 mΩ at 100 kHz) and rated ripple currents support stable rail filtering in compact modules.
• High-temperature environments – Designed for equipment operating across −55°C to +105°C with a demonstrated 5000-hour life at 105°C.

Unique Advantages

• Long-life reliability: 5000 hours at 105°C provides predictable end-of-life behavior for thermal-stressed applications.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 status enables use in vehicle electronics where supplier qualification is required.
• Low ESR and strong ripple performance: 28 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz with 2.8 A ripple current capability at 100 kHz helps reduce power loss and voltage ripple on compact boards.
• Lead-free assembly ready: Compatible with lead-free reflow processes up to a 260°C peak for modern manufacturing flows.
• Wide operating temperature: −55°C to +105°C rating ensures stable electrical characteristics across common automotive and industrial temperature ranges.
