Key Features

• Dielectric / Construction Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic construction for improved conductivity and stability compared with conventional electrolytes.
• Electrical Rating 82 µF capacitance at a 25 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance, polarized for typical power-supply decoupling and bulk filtering.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Handling ESR of 36 mΩ measured at 100 kHz and ripple current ratings of 400 mA (120 Hz) and 800 mA (100 kHz) to support high-frequency and high-current applications.
• High-Temperature Endurance Rated for operation from −55°C to +125°C with a long-life specification of 3000 hours at 125°C.
• Automotive Qualification & Reliability AEC-Q200 qualified and specified for long-term endurance and damp-heat performance per the series datasheet.
• Surface-Mount Packaging Chip-type, surface-mount construction (radial, can - SMD) with compact footprint: L 0.8 × D 1.0 cm and recommended land pattern dimensions provided by the manufacturer.
• Assembly Compatibility Compliant with lead-free reflow processes; datasheet specifies compatibility with lead-free reflow profiles up to a 260°C peak (single pass) when following recommended soldering conditions.
• Environmental Compliance RoHS-compliant under the stated directive.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronic modules — Suitable for power filtering and decoupling in AEC-Q200 qualified automotive systems where high-temperature endurance and reliability are required.
• High-temperature power supplies — Supports bulk and output filtering in power converters and regulators operating in elevated ambient temperatures up to 125°C.
• High-frequency decoupling — Low ESR and specified 100 kHz performance make this capacitor appropriate for high-frequency power stages and switching regulator outputs.
• Surface-mount designs — Chip-type SMD packaging enables compact board layouts where space and reflow compatibility are important.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR for improved power stability: 36 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces voltage ripple and heat generation in high-frequency circuits.
• High ripple-current capability: 800 mA at 100 kHz (and 400 mA at 120 Hz) supports demanding switching and transient loads.
• Long life at elevated temperature: Rated for 3000 hours at 125°C, providing predictable end-of-life behavior for high-temperature deployments.
• AEC-Q200 qualified: Designed and tested to the AEC-Q200 standard for enhanced reliability in automotive and other demanding applications.
• Lead-free reflow compatibility: Manufactured for lead-free reflow soldering (up to 260°C peak single pass per datasheet), simplifying assembly for modern RoHS-compliant processes.
• Compact SMD form factor: Chip-style package enables integration into space-constrained PCBs while maintaining robust electrical performance.
