Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 270 µF nominal capacitance with a 20 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Low ESR — ESR of 21 mOhm measured at 100 kHz, supporting lower loss and improved power efficiency in high-frequency circuits.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 4 A at 100 kHz and 2 A at 120 Hz, enabling robust filtering and decoupling in power stages.
• Long-Life Endurance — Load life specified as 3000 hours at 105°C, with defined limits for capacitance change, tan δ and ESR after endurance testing.
• Temperature Range — Operating range from −55°C to +105°C to support wide environmental conditions.
• SMD, Lead‑Free Reflow Compatible — Surface-mount package designed for lead‑free reflow soldering; 260°C peak reflow correspondence is supported.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification — AEC‑Q200 qualified for use in applications requiring automotive-level component qualification.
• Package & Mounting — Radial, can-style SMD package with nominal size L: 1.2 × D: 0.8 cm and recommended land pattern 8.3 × 8.3 mm; polarized component.
• Regulatory Compliance — Compliant with RoHS directives listed in the product documentation.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power electronics — AEC‑Q200 qualification combined with low ESR and high ripple capability makes this part suitable for automotive power-supply filtering and decoupling.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple-handling capability: 4 A at 100 kHz and 2 A at 120 Hz support demanding DC–DC converters and switching regulators.
• Low loss at high frequency: 21 mOhm ESR at 100 kHz delivers lower dissipation and improved voltage stability in high-speed power circuits.
• Extended thermal endurance: 3000 hours at 105°C provides predictable performance and longevity in high-temperature environments.
• Automotive-ready qualification: AEC‑Q200 rating supports integration into automotive systems where qualified components are required.
• Assembly-friendly SMD package: Designed for lead‑free reflow (260°C peak), simplifying placement in modern surface-mount manufacturing flows.
