Capacitor 100uF 160V
The 100 µF, 160 V capacitor from the CD11-GAS family is a compact aluminium electrolytic designed for demanding, long-life power applications. Its construction uses a polymer-improved/engineered electrolyte system and robust sleeve/coating to give a small footprint while still offering substantial capacitance for bulk energy storage and filtering tasks. The component’s body and axial/radial lead formatting are laid out for easy PCB placement and reliable mechanical mounting.
Electrically the part delivers stable capacitance across normal operating conditions and is specified with conservative dissipation and leakage limits to ensure predictable performance in power supplies and LED drivers. The datasheet shows the series is engineered for high endurance (long life at elevated temperature) and controlled dissipation factor, making it well suited where ripple handling and thermal stability matter.
Mechanically and thermally the capacitor is built to survive standard assembly processes (recommendations for solder/reflow appear in the datasheet) and to tolerate extended operation at elevated temperatures. Endurance, impedance vs. temperature behaviour and leakage-current limits are all defined by the manufacturer to ensure consistent, repeatable performance in production designs.
Features:
- Rated capacitance 100 µF at 160 Vdc.
- Part of the CD11-GAS series (upgraded GA family) for longer life and improved performance.
- Long endurance: specified for 10,000 hours at 105 °C.
- Low dissipation factor (tanδ) typical for the series (see datasheet for voltage-dependent limits).
- Low leakage current with standard formula I ≤ 0.03·C·V + 10 µA (measured at 20 °C after 2 minutes).
- Designed and specified for use in LED drivers and other power electronics.
