Designed for general-purpose electronics, this part combines low ESR and high ripple-current capability with a wide operating temperature range and a 2000-hour endurance at 105°C, offering a reliable energy-storage component for compact power and decoupling applications.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 330 µF nominal capacitance with tolerance of -20% to +20%, specified at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Rated Voltage — 16 V DC rating suitable for low-voltage power rails and general-purpose circuits.
• Low ESR — ESR of 16 mΩ measured at 20°C/100 kHz, supporting efficient high-frequency performance.
• High Ripple Current — Low-frequency ripple current of 480 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency capability of 4.8 A (300 kHz), enabling effective smoothing in switching environments.
• Reliability & Endurance — Rated for 2000 hours at 105°C under rated voltage, with specified limits for capacitance change, tan δ and ESR after life test.
• Wide Temperature Range — Operates from −55°C to +105°C, covering a broad range of ambient and operating conditions.
• Surface-Mount Packaging — SMD radial can package (φ10 × 12.4 mm) supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for automated assembly.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets applicable RoHS requirements for lead-free electronics assembly.

Typical Applications

• General-Purpose Power Filtering — Provides bulk capacitance and filtering for low-voltage power rails where 16 V rating and 330 µF are suitable.
• Switching Regulator Output — Low ESR (16 mΩ) and high-frequency ripple capability (up to 4.8 A at 300 kHz) support output smoothing in switching power supplies.
• Compact SMD Power Modules — φ10 × 12.4 mm SMD radial can enables high-capacitance density in space-constrained module designs.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple handling in a small footprint — 4.8 A high-frequency ripple current capability paired with a φ10 × 12.4 mm package lets designers manage switching noise without large board area.
• Efficient high-frequency performance — 16 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces dissipation and improves decoupling effectiveness at switching frequencies.
• Robust thermal endurance — Specified 2000-hour life at 105°C supports reliable operation in elevated-temperature environments.
• Assembly-ready packaging — Embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing simplifies automated placement and handling.
• Clear, application-oriented specification — Key electrical parameters (capacitance, ESR, ripple current, leakage, and temperature range) are documented for straightforward selection and engineering validation.
