Vishay Intertechnology introduces two new series of automotive grade aluminium capacitors

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc., a leading manufacturer of discrete semiconductors (diodes, MOSFETs, and infrared optoelectronics) and passive electronic components (resistors, inductors, and capacitors), announced the launch of a two new series of Automotive Grade, surface-mount aluminium electrolytic capacitors. It offers useful life up to 6,000 hours for automotive and industrial applications.

The aluminium electrolytic capacitor offers high voltages up to 450 V with operating temperatures up to +125 °C. The high voltage range of Vishay BCcomponents 152 CME and 192 CTX series capacitors provides designers with greater design flexibility.

“As polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitors with a non-solid electrolyte, the AEC-Q200 qualified devices are suited for smoothing, filtering, and buffering in power supplies and portable chargers for electric vehicles and industrial equipment,” Vishay Intertechnology said.

Both the series offer capacitance values from 2.2 µF to 33 µF in seven case sizes ranging from 10 mm by 10 mm by 10 mm to 18 mm by 18 mm by 21 mm.

The RoHS-compliant capacitors offer charge- and discharge-proof performance with no peak current limitation. It allows for lead (Pb)-free reflow soldering in accordance with JEDEC J-STD-020, and offer vibration-proof performance in 4- and 6-pin versions, according to the company.
