Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 56 µF nominal capacitance with tolerance of −20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Rated Voltage — 16 V DC rated voltage for common low-voltage power rails.
• Low Loss / ESR — tanδ (DF) of 0.12 at 20°C/120 Hz and ESR of 30 mΩ at 20°C/100 kHz, supporting efficient high-frequency performance.
• High Ripple Current Capability — 160 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1.6 A at 300 kHz (high frequency) for robust ripple-handling in power circuits.
• Leakage & Polarization — Polarized construction with leakage current specified at 100 µA (after standard conditioning).
• Thermal & Reliability — Wide operating temperature range from −55°C to +125°C and specified load life of 3000 hours at 125°C.
• Package & Mounting — Surface-mount radial can package, size φ8 × 8.7 mm (diameter × length), supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for automated assembly.
• RoHS Compliance — Compliant to the RoHS directive as documented in the product series datasheet.

Typical Applications

• General-Purpose Electronics — Suited for board-level power filtering and energy storage where a compact SMD aluminum electrolytic is required.
• Power Supply Decoupling — Use on low-voltage DC rails to smooth ripple and stabilize regulators within the capacitor’s rated voltage and ripple limits.
• High-Frequency Power Modules — Supports high-frequency ripple currents up to 1.6 A at 300 kHz for switching converter outputs and local decoupling.

Unique Advantages

• High Ripple Handling: Specified ripple currents (160 mA at 120 Hz and 1.6 A at 300 kHz) enable reliable performance in noisy power environments.
• Low ESR and Low Loss: 30 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and tanδ 0.12 at 120 Hz reduce dissipation and improve efficiency in power circuits.
• Wide Temperature Operation: −55°C to +125°C rating supports designs that must tolerate broad ambient and elevated operating temperatures.
• Long Load Life: 3000 hours endurance at 125°C provides predictable long-term stability for thermal-stressed applications.
• Pick-and-Place Ready Packaging: Embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing simplifies automated assembly and storage handling.
• RoHS Compliance: Conforms to RoHS requirements as indicated in the series datasheet, supporting regulatory needs.
