15 µF ±20% at 10 V rated in a 1206 (3216 Metric) case — the 3.20 mm x 1.60 mm footprint with 1.80 mm seated height fits tight PCB layouts. The 3.2 Ohm ESR at 100 kHz sets the ripple current ceiling; for a 100 kHz buck converter output, expect ~200 mA ripple current before self-heating becomes a concern.
Yes, it carries an AEC-Q200 rating, which means it has passed the automotive-grade stress tests (temperature cycling, moisture resistance, mechanical shock) required for under-hood and cabin electronics.
For continuous operation at 125°C, derate the applied voltage per the manufacturer's guidelines — typically 50% of rated voltage above 85°C.
