Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 270 µF rated at 20 V with ±20% tolerance, specified at 120 Hz and 20°C.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Handling: 18 mΩ ESR measured at 100 kHz and ripple current ratings of 950 mA at 120 Hz and 1.9 A at 100 kHz enable effective smoothing and decoupling in high-frequency power circuits.
• High Temperature Performance: Operating temperature range −55°C to +150°C and specified endurance of 2000 hours at 150°C provide reliable operation in elevated-temperature environments.
• Long-Term Reliability: Endurance specifications require capacitance within ±20% and ESR ≤200% of initial value after 2000 hours at 150°C, supporting predictable lifetime behavior.
• Surface-Mount Package & Reflow Compatibility: Chip, can-style SMD package with land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm and compatible with lead-free reflow soldering (peak up to 260°C, two reflows maximum under specified conditions).
• Automotive-Grade Qualification & Compliance: AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), meeting industry environmental and automotive quality requirements.
• Compact Footprint: Component dimensions L: 1.2 × D: 0.8 cm, enabling high-density board designs where temperature resilience is required.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics: Suited for control modules and electronic subsystems where AEC-Q200 qualification and operation to 150°C are required.
• High-Temperature Power Modules: Use in board-level power stages and converters that demand stable capacitance and low ESR under elevated thermal stress.
• Surface-Mount Power Filtering: Ideal for on-board decoupling and smoothing in compact SMD layouts that require high ripple current capability and low impedance at high frequency.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for Elevated Temperatures: Rated to operate from −55°C to +150°C with a 2000-hour endurance at 150°C, reducing risk of early-life degradation in hot environments.
• Low ESR for Improved Efficiency: 18 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz delivers lower losses and better thermal performance in high-frequency switching applications.
• High Ripple Current Capability: 950 mA (120 Hz) and 1.9 A (100 kHz) ripple ratings support robust performance in power conversion and regulation circuits.
• Automotive-Grade Reliability: AEC-Q200 qualification provides an established quality baseline for vehicle electronics and other critical applications.
• SMD Can Package with Reflow Compatibility: Can-style chip package supports lead-free reflow up to 260°C peak, enabling modern surface-mount assembly processes.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliant to 2011/65/EU and (EU)2015/863, helping meet environmental requirements for product designs.
