The device is RoHS compliant and available in mass-production quantities.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1500 µF capacitance with a rated voltage of 2.5 V and tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• Conductive Polymer Electrolyte — Solid polymer construction for stable performance and specified endurance at elevated temperature.
• Low ESR — ESR of 7 mΩ measured at 20°C/100 kHz, minimizing resistive losses and improving efficiency in power circuits.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 4.7 A at 100 kHz (4700 mA) and 470 mA at 120 Hz, supporting both high-frequency and low-frequency ripple demands.
• Endurance & Temperature Range — Load life specified to 2000 hours at 105°C; operating temperature range −55°C to +105°C.
• Leakage & Loss Characteristics — Leakage current specified as 937 µA (after 2 minutes at 20°C); tanδ (DF) = 0.08 at 20°C/120 Hz.
• Radial Through‑Hole Package — Compact φ8 × 11.5 mm can, lead spacing 3.5 mm (±0.5 mm), radial-lead mounting for easy integration into through-hole designs.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronic circuits — Bulk energy storage and smoothing where 1500 µF at 2.5 V and controlled ESR are required.
• Low-voltage power delivery — Local decoupling and bulk capacitance on low-voltage rails benefiting from the capacitor’s high ripple-current rating and low ESR.
• High-frequency decoupling — Applications that require effective ripple handling at 100 kHz based on the specified 4.7 A ripple current and 7 mΩ ESR.

Unique Advantages

• High capacitance in a compact radial can — 1500 µF in an 8 × 11.5 mm package provides substantial energy storage without a large footprint.
• Low loss at high frequency — 7 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces I²R losses and thermal stress in high-frequency applications.
• Robust ripple-current capability — 4.7 A rated ripple current at 100 kHz supports demanding decoupling and filtering tasks.
• Wide operating temperature and endurance — −55°C to +105°C range and 2000-hour life at 105°C support reliable operation in thermally challenging environments.
• Predictable leakage and dissipation — Specified leakage current (937 µA) and tanδ (0.08) enable dependable design margining for power-sensitive systems.
• Production-ready supply — Mass-production status and standard radial-lead packaging simplify procurement and assembly planning.
