Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 560 µF nominal capacitance rated at 6.3 V for bulk energy storage and smoothing in low-voltage circuits.
• Ultra-low ESR — ESR specified at 8 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, supporting low-loss operation and effective high-frequency performance.
• High ripple current — Rated ripple current of 2.5 A at 120 Hz and 5 A at 100 kHz to withstand high AC stress in power applications.
• Long life endurance — Load life specified as 5000 hours at 105°C with defined limits on capacitance change, tan δ and ESR after life testing.
• Wide temperature range — Operating temperature from −55°C to +105°C to suit demanding thermal environments.
• Radial lead package — Through-hole radial can (L: 9 × D: 8 mm) with 3.5 mm lead spacing; lead-free flow soldering condition correspondence.
• Polarized, ±20% tolerance — Polarized electrolytic construction with capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• RoHS compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronics — Bulk filtering and energy storage in low-voltage boards where low ESR and high ripple handling are required.
• Power supply decoupling — Smoothing and decoupling for DC rails that benefit from the capacitor’s low ESR and high ripple-current rating.
• High-frequency circuits — Applications that need stable impedance and low loss at 100 kHz, leveraging the specified ESR and impedance characteristics.

Unique Advantages
