Panasonic Industry Europe launches new conductive polymer hybrid aluminium electrolytic capacitor

Panasonic Industry Europe has expanded its conductive polymer hybrid aluminium electrolytic capacitor range with the launch of new ZF series products, rated at 1,000 hours at 150°C.It is used for power train and engine-mounted applications in the automotive sector. Panasonic said that ZF Series hybrid capacitors are the first available in Through Hole Technology.

The conductive polymer hybrid enables stable and very low ESR across the full temperature range of -55°C up to +150°C. Ripple currents in the order of 1Arms can be dealt with at peak voltage and temperature while maintaining ESR as low as 20mΩ, the company said in its press release

 ZF is an excellent choice for specialized applications that experience a broad mission profile in terms of applied ripple and ambient temperatures.

A rated voltage from 25VDC to 63VDC and a capacitance range from 30μF up to 270μF, enable the ZF Series capacitors to cater to both 12V and 48V systems. ZF Series devices are fully RoHS-compliant and AECQ-200-compliant.

Mustafa Khan, Product Marketing Manager Capacitors at Panasonic said: “Hybrid capacitors represent one of the fastest growing component segments in Europe and the introduction of a THT-type at the highest temperature possible in the electrolytic world ensures that Panasonic can cater even to niche demands in automotive and industrial.”
