RS Components announces new series of aluminium electrolytic capacitors

RS Components, the trading brands of Electrocomponents plc, the supplier of electronic components, electrical, automation and control, and test and measurement equipment, announced two new series of electrolytic capacitors manufactured by Panasonic. The V-TC and V-TCU series of aluminium electrolytic capacitors have better ripple and capacitance characteristics. 

RS Components, the global distributors for engineers, has operations in 32 countries. The company is listed on the London Stock Exchange and in the last financial year ended 31 March 2017 had revenues of £1.51bn.

“The V-TC and V-TCU series are based on the proven V-TP series from Panasonic, but benefit from 1.2 to 1.5 times higher ripple current capabilities at +125°C.

“ In addition, the V-TCU parts also offer 1.2 to 2.2 times larger capacitance values, ranging from 220 up to 680µF, while also downsizing by one aluminium-can size, for example from G to F size or from F to D8”, it said.

The company’s HL series electric double layer capacitors (EDLC) are radial components that come in a variety of capacitances ranging from 2.5F to 100F. This series can be used in backup power supplies for servers and storage devices, auxiliary power supplies for solar-powered products such as street lighting, and driver-assist applications for actuators.
