Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 8 x 6.2 mm package size of the EEE-1CA101AP compare to competing 100 µF SMT electrolytic capacitors for board space savings?
The EEE-1CA101AP measures 8 mm in diameter and 6.2 mm in height in its SMT can format, which is a standard footprint for 100 µF, 16 V aluminum electrolytic capacitors. Compared to through-hole radial 100 µF parts which typically require 6.3 mm diameter pads and a 5 mm mounting zone clearance, the SMT form factor reduces board area by 30% to 40% and eliminates drilling, lowering total assembly cost in automated production.
What is the maximum rated voltage of the EEE-1CA101AP and how should it be derated for a 5 V digital supply rail?
The EEE-1CA101AP is rated at 16 V DC. For use on a 5 V supply rail, operating voltage is 31% of the rated maximum, which comfortably satisfies the industry-standard 80% voltage derating guideline. This significant derating margin reduces the electric field stress on the aluminum oxide dielectric, extending the capacitor's expected operational life beyond the rated 2,000 hours at +85°C in typical 5 V applications.
Can the EEE-1CA101AP handle the ripple current demands of a 5 V switching power supply output stage?
The EEE-1CA101AP is designed for output filtering and decoupling in switching power supplies at 16 V with 100 µF capacitance. Typical ripple current ratings for this Panasonic SMT series are in the range of 120 mA to 250 mA at 100 kHz and +85°C; the exact value should be confirmed from the EEE-1CA series datasheet. For high-ripple applications above 300 mA, multiple EEE-1CA101AP capacitors can be paralleled to share ripple current and reduce ESR on the 5 V output bus.
