• Capacitance & Voltage — 100 µF nominal capacitance with a tolerance of −20% to +20% and a rated voltage of 16 V.
• Low Loss / High Frequency Performance — tanδ (DF) of 0.10 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz; ESR specified as 24 mΩ at 20 °C / 100 kHz.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 249 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.49 A at 300 kHz (high frequency), with frequency coefficient data available for intermediate frequencies.
• Reliability & Lifetime — Load life (endurance) specified at 2000 hours at 105 °C under rated voltage conditions.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 500 µA after 2 minutes at 20 °C.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead mounting with 2.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
• Compliance — RoHS‑compliant per product data.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose electronics — Replacement or design‑in for circuits that specify a 100 µF, 16 V conductive polymer aluminum capacitor with low ESR and defined ripple current ratings.
• Compact power modules — Miniature φ6.3 × 6 mm case suits space‑constrained boards where ripple handling and low loss at high frequency are required.
• High‑frequency decoupling and smoothing — ESR specified at 100 kHz (24 mΩ) and a 2.49 A rated ripple current at 300 kHz support high‑frequency decoupling roles.
• Temperature‑sensitive environments — Rated for operation from −55 °C to 105 °C with a 2000 h endurance at 105 °C for sustained thermal reliability.

Unique Advantages

• Miniature size with high capacitance — φ6.3 × 6 mm case delivers 100 µF in a compact footprint to save PCB area.
• Low ESR at high frequency — 24 mΩ (20 °C / 100 kHz) supports efficient high‑frequency performance and reduces AC losses.
• High ripple current rating — 2.49 A at 300 kHz enables robust handling of AC stress in switching and high‑frequency circuits.
• Wide operating temperature range — −55 °C to 105 °C accommodates a broad set of environments and thermal profiles.
• Defined endurance specification — 2000 h at 105 °C provides a clear reliability metric for thermal life planning.
• RoHS compliance — Meets RoHS directive requirements as stated in product information.
