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 new series of miniature snap-in power aluminium electrolytic capacitors for power supplies, solar inverters, and industrial motor controls.

The Vishay BCcomponents 259 PHM-SI series combines 30 per cent higher ripple current than previous-generation components. The device features a cylindrical aluminum case, insulated with a blue sleeve, with rated voltages to 500 V in 25 compact case sizes ranging from 22 mm by 25 mm to 35 mm by 60 mm. The RoHS-compliant capacitors are also available with 3-pin keyed polarity snap-in terminals.
With ripple currents up to 4.42 A, the devices allow designers to utilize fewer components to save board space and lower costs. Their long useful life of 3000 hours at 105 °C permits demanding applications requiring more than 10 years of lifetime from capacitors in ambient temperatures to 60 °C.
The company said aluminium electrolytic capacitors are best suited for buffering, filtering, and energy storage in compact power applications, including power supplies for server farms or industrial tools such as plasma cutters; motor drives for compressors in industrial cooling systems; and industrial lamp drivers for UV water treatment systems.
The company’s products are used in virtually all types of electronic devices and equipment, in the industrial, computing, automotive, consumer, telecommunications, military, aerospace, power supplies, and medical markets.
