Key Features

• Dielectric & Electrolyte Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolyte for low-impedance performance.
• Capacitance & Voltage 1.2 mF rated capacitance at 6.3 V with ±20% tolerance (specified at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Low ESR ESR of 9 mΩ measured at 100 kHz (20°C) to support high-frequency decoupling.
• High Ripple Current Rated ripple current: 3.05 A at 120 Hz and 6.1 A at 100 kHz, enabling effective smoothing under dynamic loads.
• Temperature & Endurance Operating range -55°C to +105°C with a load life of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Package & Mounting Radial lead can with 3.5 mm lead spacing; compact size L: 1.2 × D: 0.8 cm and compatible with lead-free flow soldering conditions.
• Polarization & General Use Polarized device intended for general-purpose electronic applications.
• RoHS Compliance Meets RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Power supply decoupling and smoothing — Low ESR and high ripple-current ratings make this part suitable for bulk decoupling and smoothing in general-purpose power supplies.
• DC–DC converter output filtering — Compact radial package and high-frequency performance help stabilize point-of-load outputs where space is constrained.
• Industrial and control electronics — Wide operating temperature range and 2000 h life at 105°C support robust operation in general-purpose control and instrumentation circuits.
• Audio and power stages — Low impedance at high frequency can be used where stable supply filtering is needed for dynamic loads.

Unique Advantages

• High capacitance in a compact radial can: 1.2 mF in a 1.2 × 0.8 cm footprint provides significant bulk capacitance where board space is limited.
• Low impedance at high frequency: 9 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz supports effective high-frequency decoupling and reduces ripple on supply rails.
• Strong ripple-current capability: Rated for 6.1 A at 100 kHz and 3.05 A at 120 Hz to handle dynamic load currents.
• Wide temperature and proven endurance: −55°C to +105°C operation and 2000 hours load life at 105°C for sustained performance under thermal stress.
• Assembly-friendly: Radial lead format with 3.5 mm lead spacing and lead-free flow soldering compatibility for standard through-hole assembly processes.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS-compliant construction for designs requiring restricted-substance conformity.
