About this manual

The T520 Series conductive polymer chip capacitors feature polymer cathode technology, low ESR, high frequency retention, and a self‑healing mechanism. They are available in a wide capacitance range (15 µF to 1000 µF) and voltage ratings from 2 V to 25 V, with up to 80 % of rated voltage usable (20 % derating).

The datasheet includes detailed dimensions for multiple EIA case sizes, ordering codes, part‑number construction rules, and electrical characteristics such as ESR, ripple current, leakage, and temperature limits. It also notes RoHS compliance and lead‑material options for each part.
