Additional Details

The T520 series capacitors utilize a conductive polymer cathode, which offers several advantages over traditional MnO2 capacitors, including lower ESR and improved voltage derating characteristics. The 15µF capacitance provides effective filtering and energy storage. The 4V voltage rating is suitable for many low-voltage power systems. The low ESR of 100 mΩ minimizes power losses and heat generation, leading to reliable operation in demanding circuits. This capacitor is designed for surface mount technology (SMT) and conforms to industry-standard dimensions for easy integration into automated assembly processes.

The high operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C makes it suitable for use in harsh environments. The Polymer Hermetic Molded Chip construction provides enhanced protection against moisture and other environmental factors, further improving reliability. The T520T156M004AE100 is ideal for applications requiring high performance, stability, and longevity in a compact form factor, particularly in power-sensitive designs.
