• Low ESR & High Ripple Handling: ESR = 33 mΩ measured at 20 °C/100 kHz, with low-frequency ripple current of 405 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 810 mA (100 kHz).
• Long-Life Endurance: Rated for 3000 hours at 125 °C with defined limits for capacitance change, tanδ and ESR after test.
• Wide Temperature Range: Operational from −55 °C to +125 °C, with impedance stability specified relative to +20 °C.
• Package & Mounting: Radial lead can, size φ8 × 12L (L: 1.2 cm × D: 0.8 cm), lead spacing 3.5 mm (±0.5 mm), available in bulk or bag packing.
• Standards & Compliance: AEC‑Q200 rated and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics: AEC‑Q200 qualification and 125 °C endurance make the capacitor suitable for automotive power-management and control modules.
• Power Supply Filtering: Low ESR and high ripple-current ratings support smoothing and decoupling in DC–DC converters and regulator outputs.
• Embedded Power Circuits: Compact radial can package and reliable high-temperature performance suit on-board power conditioning in compact electronic assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• Low Impedance for Improved Power Delivery: 33 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces voltage drop under high-frequency ripple loads, supporting tighter regulation.
• High Ripple-Current Capability: 405 mA (120 Hz) and 810 mA (100 kHz) ratings enable handling of both low- and high-frequency ripple in power circuits.
• Long-Term High-Temperature Endurance: 3000-hour rating at 125 °C provides predictable lifetime performance in high-temperature environments.
• AEC‑Q200 Qualified: Explicit AEC‑Q200 rating supports use in designs requiring automotive-grade component qualification.
• Compact Radial Package: φ8 × 12L can and 3.5 mm lead spacing provide a small-footprint, easy-to-handle option for through-hole assemblies.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in regulated product lines and supply chains.
