Key Features

• Dielectric / Construction — Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic construction for stable performance and low ESR.
• Capacitance & Voltage — 6.8 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance, rated to 125 V DC.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Current — ESR of 93 mΩ measured at 100 kHz; ripple current ratings of 550 mA at 120 Hz and 1.1 A at 100 kHz.
• Thermal Endurance — Load life specified at 3000 hours at 105°C; operating temperature range −55°C to +105°C.
• Surface‑Mount Package — Radial can SMD package with compact dimensions (L: 1.0 cm × D: 0.8 cm) and recommended land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm.
• Assembly Compatibility — Lead‑free reflow soldering compatible (peak correspondence up to 260°C per part series soldering conditions).
• Compliance & Qualification — AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Suited for vehicle electronic modules that require high voltage capability, long life, and electrical stability under elevated temperature.
• High‑Voltage Power Modules — Useful in power conversion and filtering circuits where a 125 V rating and low ESR improve efficiency and ripple suppression.
• High‑Reliability Industrial Electronics — Applicable where extended load life at elevated temperature (3000 h at 105°C) and robust ripple performance are required.

Unique Advantages

• High Voltage Handling: Rated to 125 V, enabling use in higher‑voltage rails without series stacking.
• Low ESR for Improved Efficiency: 93 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces losses and supports higher frequency ripple currents up to 1.1 A (100 kHz).
• Long Operational Life: 3000 hours at 105°C load life supports designs that demand extended field reliability.
• Automotive‑Grade Qualification: AEC‑Q200 qualification provides an established baseline for automotive and similarly demanding applications.
• Surface‑Mount, Lead‑Free Reflow Compatible: SMD radial can package and 260°C peak correspondence simplify assembly with modern lead‑free processes.
• Compact Footprint: Small physical dimensions and defined land size (8.3 × 8.3 mm) help save board area in dense designs.
