Key Features

• Capacitance & Rated Voltage — 560 µF nominal capacitance at 4 V with tolerance ±20%.
• Ultra-low ESR — ESR of 7 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, supporting efficient power delivery and low thermal loss.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 5.2 A at 100 kHz and 2.6 A at 120 Hz for demanding power-filtering tasks.
• Long Life Endurance — Load life specified at 5000 hours at 105°C, meeting endurance criteria defined in the product datasheet.
• Temperature Range & Stability — Operating range from −55°C to +105°C with specified impedance and endurance characteristics across temperature extremes.
• Radial Lead Package — Compact radial can, size L: 9 × D: 8 mm, lead spacing 3.5 mm, designed for through-hole mounting.
• Soldering & Environmental — Compatible with lead-free flow soldering conditions and compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Polarized Device — Polarized electrolytic capacitor for DC applications.

Typical Applications

• Power-supply decoupling — Low ESR and high ripple capability make this capacitor suitable for output filtering and bulk decoupling in general-purpose power supplies.
• DC-DC converter output filtering — Compact radial can and high ripple current rating support smoothing and stability at converter outputs.
• Industrial and consumer electronics — Durable performance across −55°C to +105°C and long-life endurance suit devices where reliable bulk capacitance is required.

Unique Advantages

• Efficient power handling: Ultra-low ESR (7 mΩ at 100 kHz) reduces losses and heat generation in high-current circuits.
• High ripple capability: Rated for up to 5.2 A at 100 kHz (and 2.6 A at 120 Hz), enabling effective filtering under heavy ripple loads.
• High-temperature endurance: 5000-hour load life at 105°C provides predictable long-term behavior in thermally demanding environments.
• Compact radial form factor: 9 × 8 mm can with 3.5 mm lead spacing provides bulk capacitance in a small through-hole footprint.
• Assembly-ready and compliant: Supports lead-free flow soldering and is RoHS compliant for modern manufacturing requirements.
