Combining high thermal endurance with exceptional electrical performance, the A7C5 series is ideal for applications exposed to extreme conditions.
Key Benefits
- Through-hole form factor
- High ripple current up to 4.0Arms @ 135°C
- High temperature; 150°C up to 1,000 hours
- Low leakage current (Typically no re-ageing required)
- Self-healing behaviours
- Outstanding electrical performance
- AEC-Q200 compliance
- RoHS compliant
- Halogen-Free
Hybrid Polymer Design for Superior Performance
The A7C5 series utilizes a conductive polymer system (PEDOT/PSS) in combination with a liquid electrolyte, delivering low ESR and enabling self-healing capabilities. This hybrid configuration ensures stable electrical characteristics across a wide frequency and temperature spectrum, with minimal re-aging needed after long-term storage.
Its robust mechanical design features a cylindrical aluminum can sealed with a high-quality rubber deck, making it well-suited for automotive environments where vibration and thermal stress are significant challenges.
To maintain flexibility, the product is available in different versions. For example, there are several variants when it comes to lead type, lead length or packaging type.
