Vishay Intertechnology launches two new series of miniature axial aluminium electrolytic capacitors

Vishay Intertechnology, one of the world's largest manufacturers of discrete semiconductors (diodes, MOSFETs, and infrared optoelectronics) and passive electronic components (resistors, inductors, and capacitors), has announced the launch of two new series of miniature axial aluminium electrolytic capacitors.

The provide designers with greater design flexibility, while their high temperature capabilities and long useful life increase reliability for demanding applications in harsh environments.

Aluminium electrolytic capacitors are suited for smoothing, filtering, and buffering in power supplies for automotive, industrial, and telecommunications applications.

The devices are available in 10 compact case sizes ranging from 6.5 mm by 18 mm to 21 mm by 38 mm. The Vishay BCcomponents 125 ALS and 126 ALX series combine operating temperatures up to +125 °C with useful life up to 10,000 hours.

“Featuring a cylindrical aluminium case, insulated with a blue sleeve, the 125 ALS and 126 ALX series provide capacitance values from 33 µF to 18,000 µF, rated voltages from 10 V to 63 V, and high ripple current to 1860 mA. The RoHS-compliant capacitors offer charge- and discharge-proof performance and are vibration- and shock-resistant. For automatic insertion, the devices are available in taped versions for select case sizes,” the company said.
