Snap-in power aluminium capacitors available down to 20x25mm
A series of miniaturised snap-in power aluminium capacitors with high capacitance from 820µF to 47,000µF in compact cases down to 20x25mm has been released by Vishay Intertechnology. Designed for audio, industrial, and general power supply applications, the 256 PMG-SI capacitors offer a long useful life, high ripple current and low ESR.
Featuring a cylindrical aluminium case with a pressure relief valve, insulated with a blue PET sleeve, the Vishay BCcomponents snap-in capacitors are available in 17 case sizes ranging from 20x25mm to 35x45mm, with voltages from 16 to 100V. The devices operate across a wide temperature range of -40 to +105°C, useful life of 2,000 hours at +105°C, ripple current to 4.85A, and ESR down to 14mΩ.
As polarised aluminium electrolytic capacitors with a non-solid electrolyte, the 256 PMG-SI devices are suited for smoothing, filtering and energy storage in pulsed power applications for audio amplifiers, LED drivers, UPS systems and solar power micro-inverters. The capacitors are lead (Pb)-free and RoHS-compliant.
Samples of the 256 PMG-SI series capacitors are available now.
