Additional Details

The T520D156M025AE080 features a capacitance of 15 uF (microfarads), a voltage rating of 25V (Volts) DC, and an ESR of 80 mOhms. It is housed in a 7343-31 case size (D case). It typically operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +105°C. The termination is typically finished with matte tin. The use of polymer electrolytic technology results in a non-catastrophic failure mode, which can lead to increased system safety and prevent abrupt circuit failures. Polymer capacitors are also known for having better capacitance retention at higher frequencies as compared to other capacitor technologies.
