Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 1000 µF nominal capacitance with a 6.3 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage and decoupling.
• Low ESR for High-Frequency Use: Equivalent series resistance of 14 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, supporting low-impedance filtering and high-frequency decoupling.
• High Ripple Current Capability: Rated ripple current of 2.5 A at 100 kHz and 1.25 A at 120 Hz to handle superimposed AC stress in power circuits.
• High-Temperature Endurance: Endurance rating of 2000 hours at 125 °C, with stable capacitance, tan δ and ESR after the specified life test.
• Wide Temperature Range: Operating range from −55 °C to +125 °C for reliable operation across harsh thermal environments.
• Surface-Mount, Reflow-Compatible Package: Chip-type radial can SMD with a footprint land size of 8.3 × 8.3 mm; compatible with lead‑free reflow up to 260 °C peak per PCW series specifications.
• Compliance & Qualification: RoHS compliant and AEC-Q200 qualified for applications requiring automotive-grade component robustness.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics: Bulk filtering and decoupling in control modules and power electronics where AEC-Q200 qualification and high-temperature endurance are required.
• Power Conversion (DC-DC, Power Modules): Energy storage and ripple suppression for converters and regulators that demand high ripple current handling and low ESR at high frequency.
• High-Frequency Power Conditioning: Decoupling and smoothing in systems where low impedance at 100 kHz improves transient response and stability.
• Surface-Mount Assemblies: Compact SMD radial can for densely packed boards requiring lead‑free reflow compatibility and robust soldering performance.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Supports 2.5 A at 100 kHz, allowing designers to manage AC stress without oversized solutions.
• Low ESR: 14 mΩ at 100 kHz reduces losses and heat generation, improving efficiency in power delivery networks.
• Extended high-temperature life: 2000-hour endurance at 125 °C provides predictable long-term behavior in elevated-temperature environments.
• AEC-Q200 qualification: Meets automotive-grade reliability expectations for use in vehicle electronics and similarly demanding applications.
• Reflow process compatibility: Lead‑free reflow compatibility up to 260 °C peak supports modern surface-mount assembly flows.
• Compact SMD form factor: 10 mm × 8 mm nominal package footprint (L × D: 1.0 × 0.8 cm) enabling high-density board designs.
