Frequently Asked Questions
What are the key electrical ratings of the Panasonic EEE-FC1A221AP capacitor?
The EEE-FC1A221AP is rated at 220 µF capacitance with a 10 V maximum working voltage. It belongs to the FC series, which is characterized by low ESR values that reduce heat generation in switching power supplies operating at frequencies up to several hundred kilohertz, making it well-suited for output filtering.
How long is the rated operational life of the EEE-FC1A221AP, and at what temperature?
The EEE-FC1A221AP is rated for a 2000-hour operational life at 85°C. At lower operating temperatures, the lifetime extends significantly; at 65°C the expected life can exceed 8000 hours. This reliability makes it a dependable choice for industrial power supplies and consumer electronics requiring multi-year service intervals.
When should a designer choose the EEE-FC1A221AP over a ceramic capacitor for output filtering?
At 220 µF and 10 V, achieving equivalent capacitance with ceramic (MLCC) capacitors would require multiple devices and significantly higher cost. The EEE-FC1A221AP provides high bulk capacitance in a single SMD component, making it the practical choice for output filter stages of 5 V or 9 V DC-DC converters where load transient response demands more than 100 µF of local energy storage.
