The 500 mOhm ESR sets the maximum ripple current the part can handle before self-heating shifts the capacitance.
The operating temperature range spans -55 to 125 °C, which is the full military-grade band. No derating is required across this range for the voltage rating, but the ESR doubles at -55 °C — factor that into the ripple-current budget if the circuit must start cold.
Engineers need the datasheet to verify electrical characteristics, footprint, and operating conditions before design-in.
Buyers need to quickly locate an authorized distributor to purchase the part for production or prototype.
Sourcing buyers compare prices across suppliers to manage BOM costs and negotiate bulk orders.
Regulatory compliance is mandatory for many industries; engineers and buyers confirm RoHS status to avoid rework.
Designers and buyers search for drop-in alternatives when the exact part is unavailable or to dual-source.
Engineers need tolerance (±20%) to ensure the capacitor meets circuit performance and derating requirements.
