• Low ESR — 21 mΩ (measured at 100 kHz) to minimize losses and improve transient response in power circuits.
• High ripple-current capability — 3.9 A at 100 kHz and 1.95 A at 120 Hz, supporting high-frequency and low-frequency power filtering needs.
• Long load life — Rated for 3000 hours at 105 °C to support extended durability in thermal stress environments.
• Temperature range — Operates from -55 °C to 105 °C to accommodate a wide range of environmental conditions.
• Surface-mount can package — Radial can SMD (1.0 × 1.0 cm footprint) for board-level integration; surface-mount land size 1.03 × 1.03 cm.
• Assembly-ready — Lead-free reflow soldering supported with peak temperature correspondence up to 260 °C (single reflow at ≤260 °C).
• Qualification and compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant for regulated markets.
• Electrical specifics — 470 µF capacitance with ±20% tolerance; polarized device suitable for DC applications.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — AEC-Q200 qualification and 3000-hour life at 105 °C make this capacitor suitable for automotive ECUs and other vehicle electronic modules that demand long-term thermal reliability.
• Power supply filtering — Low ESR and high ripple-current ratings enable effective smoothing and bulk decoupling in DC power rails and converters.
• High-ripple environments — Designed to withstand sustained ripple currents at both low and high frequencies for robust performance in switching power stages.

Unique Advantages

• Extended high-temperature endurance: 3000 hours at 105 °C provides predictable performance in thermally stressed designs.
• Superior ripple handling: High ripple-current specs at 100 kHz and 120 Hz reduce heating and extend system reliability in active power circuits.
• Low-loss operation: 21 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz lowers conduction losses and improves transient response for tighter voltage regulation.
• Board-friendly SMD can: Compact 1.0 × 1.0 cm footprint and surface-mount capability simplify placement and assembly in space-constrained PCBs.
• Industry compliance: AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance support use in regulated and automotive applications.
