160SGV100M18X16.5 - Rubycon

160SGV100M18X16.5 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended voltage derating for this capacitor?
  Rubycon recommends a voltage derating of 80% or less for this capacitor to ensure reliable operation and extend its lifespan.
• How does the capacitor's ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) change with frequency?
  The ESR of the 160SGV100M18X16.5 capacitor decreases with increasing frequency. According to Rubycon's application notes, the ESR at 100 kHz is approximately 20% of the ESR at 100 Hz.
• Is this capacitor suitable for high-reliability applications, such as aerospace or automotive?
  While the 160SGV100M18X16.5 capacitor meets industry standards for reliability, it may not meet the specific requirements of high-reliability applications. Engineers should consult Rubycon's reliability reports and perform additional testing to ensure the capacitor meets their specific requirements.
• Can I use this capacitor in a high-temperature environment?
  The 160SGV100M18X16.5 capacitor is rated for operation up to 105°C, but its performance may degrade at higher temperatures. Engineers should consult Rubycon's temperature derating charts and consider using a capacitor with a higher temperature rating if necessary.
• How does the capacitor's capacitance change with temperature?
  The capacitance of the 160SGV100M18X16.5 capacitor decreases with increasing temperature. According to Rubycon's datasheet, the capacitance at 105°C is approximately 90% of the capacitance at 20°C.
