Polymer aluminium solid capacitors offer high ripple current
A new series of smoothing capacitors featuring a high ripple current of 5.8A and enabling miniaturisation of switching power supplies has been introduced by Panasonic Industry Europe. The SEPG series of radial lead type conductive polymer aluminium solid capacitors also benefits from low ESR values of maximum 10mΩ and stable characteristics at a wide temperature range from -55 up to 105°C.
Billions of low power electronics operating without batteries
IDTechEx Research's most recent report,Battery Elimination in Electronics and Electrical Engineering 2018-2028,notes that billions of wireless electronic and electrical products consuming microwatts to milliwatts or more operate without batteries or even capacitors to store energy. Among the most successful are the piezoelectric gas lighter, the bicycle light with dynamo and the EnOcean wireless building controls such as sensors, lights and light...
DC-Link capacitors suitable for industrial and infrastructure use
Two recently introduced series of DC-Link capacitors from Panasonic Automotive & Industrial Systems Europe benefit from key technological advantages initially developed for the automotive segment. Mainly targeted at the power inverter and switching power supply markets, the EZPQ and EZPE series serve as AC-Link and DC-Link capacitors respectively. Both series use Panasonic’s patterned metallisation technology.
