• Wide Temperature & Long Life — Operating temperature range from −55 °C to 125 °C and endurance of 3,000 hours at 125 °C.
• Loss Characteristics — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.12 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 700 µA after rated voltage application.
• Robust SMD Package — Chip-type can package, size φ10 × 12.7 mm (length), surface-mount land size L: 1.03 × W: 1.03 cm, shipped in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for automated assembly.
• AEC‑Q200 Qualified & RoHS Compliant — Designed to meet the reliability expectations of regulated markets and compliant with RoHS.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Suitable for electronic modules that reference AEC‑Q200 qualification and require stable bulk capacitance at 35 V across −55 °C to 125 °C.
• Power supply smoothing — Low ESR and high ripple current ratings support DC‑DC converters and onboard power filtering in compact surface-mount designs.
• High-temperature systems — Long-life endurance at 125 °C makes this part appropriate for applications that must maintain performance in elevated-temperature environments.

Unique Advantages

• High-temperature endurance: 3,000 hours rated life at 125 °C preserves capacitance and ESR stability in hot operating conditions.
• Superior ripple handling: Dual ripple ratings (495 mA at 120 Hz, 990 mA at 100 kHz) give designers quantified capability for both low- and high-frequency ripple scenarios.
• Low ESR for compact designs: 29 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces power loss and enables smaller capacitance arrays where low impedance is needed.
• Automotive-grade reliability: AEC‑Q200 qualification supports deployment in regulated automotive and similarly demanding applications.
• Surface-mount convenience: Chip-type can in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing is optimized for high-throughput SMT assembly.
• Regulatory compliant: RoHS compliance supports use in regions and products that require restricted substance adherence.
