Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 820 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 6.3 V and a tolerance of −20% to +20% at 20°C, 120 Hz.
• Conductive Polymer Electrolyte — Solid conductive polymer construction provides stable performance with measured low ESR and reliable leakage characteristics (774 µA specified).
• Low ESR and High Ripple Handling — ESR of 12 mΩ (20°C/100 kHz) and rated ripple current up to 5.5 A at 300 kHz (5,500 mArms), enabling effective high-frequency decoupling and bulk energy delivery.
• Temperature and Endurance — Wide operating temperature range from −55°C to +105°C and a specified life of 2000 hours at 105°C under rated voltage conditions.
• Compact SMD Radial Can Package — Size φ10 × 12.4 mm (L: 12.4 mm × D: 10 mm); surface-mount radial can package with recommended land size L: 10.3 mm × W: 10.3 mm for PCB layout.
• Production-Ready Packaging — Supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for automated assembly and storage handling.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliant as specified in the product data.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power rails — Provides bulk capacitance and low ESR for smoothing and decoupling on 6.3 V rails in general-purpose electronics.
• High-frequency power stages — Low ESR and 5.5 A ripple rating at 300 kHz support high-frequency switching converters and regulators.
• Systems operating across wide temperatures — Specified −55°C to 105°C range and 2000-hour endurance at 105°C make it suitable where thermal robustness is required.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple-current capability: 5.5 A at 300 kHz enables reliable performance in high-frequency power circuits, reducing voltage ripple under load.
