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.
The Vishay BCcomponents 257 PRM-SI series offers up to 20 % higher ripple current than previous-generation components. It offers useful life of 5,000 hours at 85 °C.
With ripple currents up to 5.05 A, the devices allow designers to utilize fewer components to save board space and lower costs. The device features a cylindrical aluminium 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.
“As polarized aluminium electrolytic capacitors with a non-solid electrolyte, the devices are ideally suited for smoothing, buffering, and DC-Link filtering in switch mode power supplies used in medical, consumer welding, and test and measurement equipment, in addition to general industrial control and audio / video system applications,” the company said.
