Designed for applications that require high-temperature endurance and long operational life, this AEC-Q200 qualified, RoHS-compliant part is targeted at automotive and other high-reliability systems where sustained performance at elevated temperatures is required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 150 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 16 V and a capacitance tolerance of ±20%.
• Low ESR — Rated ESR of 33 mΩ at 20°C and 100 kHz, supporting efficient high-frequency performance and reduced loss.
• High Ripple Current — Low-frequency ripple handling of 415 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple handling of 830 mA (100 kHz) to support robust power filtering and decoupling.
• Thermal & Endurance Performance — Operating range from −55°C to +125°C with a life rating of 3000 hours at 125°C.
• Leakage and Loss — Specified leakage current of 480 µA and tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.12 at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Surface-Mount Package — Chip-type radial can SMD (φ10 × 8L) supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for automated assembly.
• Reliability & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant; series datasheet documents endurance and soldering profiles including lead-free reflow compatibility up to specified peak temperatures.

Typical Applications

• Automotive systems — Suitable for automotive electronic modules that require AEC-Q200 qualification and stable operation up to 125°C.
• Power supply filtering — Low ESR and high ripple-current capability make it suitable for bulk decoupling and output filtering in power converters and regulators.
• High-temperature SMD assemblies — Designed for surface-mount production and lead-free reflow processes where high-temperature endurance is required.

Unique Advantages

• High-temperature endurance: Rated for continuous operation to 125°C with a 3000-hour life rating, supporting long-term reliability in hot environments.
• Superior ripple handling: Combines low ESR (33 mΩ) with high ripple-current ratings (415 mA / 830 mA) to reduce heating and improve power stage stability.
• Compact SMD form factor: φ10 × 8 mm can-style package enables board space savings while remaining compatible with automated pick-and-place and taped packaging.
• AEC-Q200 qualification: Provides the traceable reliability metrics required for regulated automotive and similarly demanding designs.
• Manufacturing-ready packaging: Supplied in embossed carrier tape with moisture-proof packing to support high-throughput assembly lines.
• Clean electrical characteristics: Specified tan δ (0.12) and controlled leakage current (480 µA) for predictable filter and decoupling behavior.
