Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 680 µF nominal capacitance at a 16 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage and decoupling in power rails.
• Low ESR and High Ripple Current — ESR specified at 19 mΩ (100 kHz) and ripple-current ratings of 950 mA (120 Hz) and 1.9 A (100 kHz) to support high-frequency switching supplies and load transients.
• High-Temperature Endurance — Rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 150 °C and an operating range of -55 °C to 150 °C for sustained performance in hot environments.
• Automotive-Grade Reliability — AEC-Q200 qualification for applications requiring recognized automotive component screening.
• SMD Package and Reflow Compatibility — Chip-type SMD (radial can - SMD) with lead-free reflow soldering capability to a 260 °C peak for standard surface-mount assembly processes.
• Compact Footprint — Physical dimensions of approximately 1.0 cm × 1.0 cm with a recommended land size of 1.03 cm × 1.03 cm for space-constrained PCB layouts.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) requirements.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronic modules — AEC-Q200 qualification and operation to 150 °C make this capacitor suitable for control units and power electronics located in high-temperature zones.
• High-temperature power electronics — The 2000-hour rating at 150 °C and low ESR support long-term operation in elevated-temperature power stages.
• DC–DC converters and power rails — Low ESR (19 mΩ at 100 kHz) and 1.9 A ripple-current capability help maintain stable voltage regulation under switching loads.
• Compact SMD power modules — Small 1 × 1 cm footprint and lead-free reflow compatibility enable integration into space-constrained, surface-mount assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• Thermal endurance for demanding environments — Rated for 2000 hours at 150 °C, delivering predictable aging and performance retention where elevated temperatures are routine.
• Efficient high-frequency performance — Low ESR at 100 kHz (19 mΩ) and high ripple-current ratings reduce losses and improve transient response in switching power systems.
• Automotive-grade screening — AEC-Q200 qualification supports use in designs that require recognized automotive component reliability.
• Surface-mount convenience — SMD chip form factor and lead-free reflow compatibility simplify automated assembly and reduce handling steps.
• Small PCB footprint — Compact 1.0 cm × 1.0 cm dimensions allow higher board-level integration and space savings.
