Vishay Intertechnology launches miniature aluminium electrolytic capacitors

Vishay Intertechnology has announced the launch of a new series of low impedance, automotive grade miniature aluminium electrolytic capacitors. It offers high ripple currents up to 3.8A with high-temperature operation to +105C.

Aluminium capacitors come with a long useful life up to 10,000h at +105C.  The newVishay BCcomponents 170 RVZ series capacitors deliver lower impedance and 10% to 15% higher ripple current. This will save board space and improve design flexibility. These capacitors come in smaller case sizes, ranging from 10mm x 12mm up to 18mm to 40mm.

“Highlighting radial leads and a cylindrical aluminium case, insulated with a blue sleeve, the series offers rated voltages up to 63V, capacitance from 100µF to 6800µF, and low impedance. The capacitors are charge and discharge-proof,” the company said.

The aluminium electrolytic capacitors are suited for smoothing, filtering, and buffering in switch-mode power supplies and DC-DC converters for automotive, industrial, telecommunications, medical, and consumer applications.
