• Capacitance & voltage — 82 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 20 V and tolerance of ±20% at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Low ESR — 40 mΩ equivalent series resistance measured at 20°C, 100 kHz, enabling efficient high-frequency performance.
• High ripple-current capability — 1.3 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.6 A at 100 kHz (high frequency) for robust power-rail smoothing.
• Temperature and endurance — Operating range from −55°C to 105°C with a rated life of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Leakage and dissipation — Leakage current of 328 µA and tan δ (DF) of 0.12 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, 20 V for predictable loss characteristics.
• Radial lead package — φ10 × 8 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) for straightforward through-hole mounting.
• AEC‑Q200 qualified — Meets AEC‑Q200 requirements for use in automotive electronics (see datasheet for qualification details).
• RoHS compliant — Conforms to RoHS directives for restricted substances.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Power-rail decoupling and smoothing in control modules where AEC‑Q200 qualification and temperature endurance are required.
• Power supply filtering — Handling ripple and transient currents in DC-DC converters and voltage regulators due to low ESR and high ripple capability.
• High-frequency decoupling — Use on boards that require stable impedance at 100 kHz for noise suppression and stable power delivery.

Unique Advantages

• Low-loss performance: 40 mΩ ESR and tan δ = 0.12 deliver reduced power dissipation and improved efficiency under AC ripple.
• High ripple tolerance: Rated for 1.3 A (120 Hz) and 2.6 A (100 kHz), enabling reliable smoothing in high-ripple environments.
• Automotive-capable: AEC‑Q200 qualification and −55°C to 105°C operating range support deployment in automotive-grade electronics.
• Compact radial form factor: φ10 × 8 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing provides a space-efficient through-hole solution for board-level power conditioning.
• Robust endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C rated life supports long-term reliability in elevated-temperature applications.
