Designed for long-term reliability, this part features a 3000-hour load life at 105°C, an operating temperature range of −55°C to 105°C, and AEC-Q200 qualification for automotive-grade use cases. It is RoHS compliant and supplied in embossed carrier taping for pick-and-place assembly.

Key Features

• Construction – Conductive polymer solid electrolytic: Chip-type surface-mount aluminum capacitor optimized for low ESR and stable performance.
• Capacitance and voltage: 220 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 20 V and tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• Low ESR & high-frequency performance: ESR of 27 mΩ measured at 20°C/100 kHz and tanδ of 0.12 at 20°C/120 Hz supports high-frequency decoupling.
• High ripple-current capability: Low-frequency ripple current 1.15 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 2.30 A at 100 kHz for demanding power-filtering duties.
• Endurance & temperature rating: Rated for 3000 hours at 105°C with operating range from −55°C to 105°C, maintaining capacitance, tanδ and ESR within endurance limits after life testing.
• Soldering and assembly compatibility: SMD can packaging supports lead‑free reflow soldering with surface temperature allowances specified in the datasheet and is supplied in embossed carrier tape with moisture-proof packing.
• Automotive qualification and compliance: AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant for regulated environments and automotive electronics.
• Compact package: Physical size φ8 × 12 mm with recommended land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm for board-level integration.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power rails: Bulk and decoupling on 12 V/24 V vehicle systems where AEC-Q200 qualification, low ESR and high ripple handling are required.
• DC–DC converter outputs: Output filtering in converters that need high ripple-current capability and stable capacitance over temperature.
• Electronic control modules: Power conditioning and smoothing in ECUs and control modules operating across −55°C to 105°C and subject to extended high-temperature operation.

Unique Advantages

• Quantified low ESR: 27 mΩ at 100 kHz reduces voltage ripple and improves high-frequency decoupling performance.
• High ripple-current endurance: Rated for 1.15 A at 120 Hz and 2.30 A at 100 kHz to handle AC stress in power conversion applications.
• Long high-temperature life: 3000 hours at 105°C demonstrates extended reliability under elevated operating temperatures.
• Automotive-ready qualification: AEC-Q200 qualification supports use in regulated vehicle electronics designs.
• SMD can packaging with tape supply: φ8 × 12 mm SMD can in embossed carrier taping simplifies automated placement and assembly flow.
• RoHS compliant: Conforms to environmental regulations for lead-free assemblies.
