EST1060T220MDGA - TAIYO YUDEN

EST1060T220MDGA Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended land pattern for EST1060T220MDGA?
  The recommended land pattern for EST1060T220MDGA is a rectangular pad with a size of 2.5mm x 1.3mm, with a solder mask clearance of 0.2mm. The pad should be centered on the capacitor's terminals.
• Can I use EST1060T220MDGA in a high-temperature environment?
  While the EST1060T220MDGA is rated for operation up to 125°C, it's not recommended to use it in high-temperature environments above 105°C for extended periods. This is because the capacitor's performance and lifespan may degrade significantly above this temperature.
• How do I handle the EST1060T220MDGA during assembly to prevent damage?
  To prevent damage, handle the EST1060T220MDGA by the body, avoiding touching the terminals. Use an anti-static wrist strap or mat to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. Avoid bending or flexing the capacitor during assembly.
• What is the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the EST1060T220MDGA?
  The ESR of the EST1060T220MDGA is not explicitly stated in the datasheet, but it can be estimated to be around 10-20 mΩ at 100 kHz, based on similar capacitors from TAIYO YUDEN.
• Can I use EST1060T220MDGA in a DC-DC converter application?
  Yes, the EST1060T220MDGA can be used in DC-DC converter applications, but it's essential to ensure that the capacitor's ripple current rating is not exceeded. The capacitor's ripple current rating is 1.5 Arms, so the converter's output current and switching frequency should be designed accordingly.
