• High Ripple Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 170 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 1.7 A (300 kHz) for robust filtering and decoupling.
• Extended High-Temperature Life — Rated for 3000 hours at 125°C under rated voltage conditions, with defined endurance limits for capacitance, tanδ and ESR.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Specified operating range from −55°C to +125°C to suit elevated-temperature environments.
• Compact SMD Package — Radial, can-style SMD package (φ8 × 10 mm) optimized for surface-mount assembly; available in embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing.
• Leakage Current — Leakage current specified at 100 µA (after standard conditioning), supporting predictable DC behavior.
• Regulatory — Series documentation indicates RoHS directive compliance as noted in the manufacturer datasheet.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronics — Suited for board-level bulk capacitance and decoupling in a wide range of consumer and industrial products where a 16 V rating and 68 µF value are required.
• High-frequency power circuits — Low ESR (25 mΩ at 100 kHz) and 1.7 A high-frequency ripple current capability make this part appropriate for high-frequency switching and local decoupling tasks.
• Elevated-temperature assemblies — With a −55°C to +125°C operating range and 3000-hour endurance at 125°C, the device serves SMD applications exposed to sustained high temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• Predictable high-temperature endurance: 3000 hours at 125°C under rated voltage ensures long-term stability in elevated-temperature designs.
