RS extends Panasonic capacitor range

14 June 2017 Passive Components

RS Components has announced availability of two new series of high-performance electrolytic capacitors manufactured by Panasonic.

Offering characteristics suitable for a wide variety of applications, the V-TC and V-TCU series of aluminium electrolytic capacitors are specialised miniaturised components offering ripple current and high capacitance. They are based on the proven V-TP series, but benefit from 1,2 to 1,5 times higher ripple current capabilities at +125°C.

In addition, the V-TCU parts also offer 1,2 to 2,2 times larger capacitance values, ranging from 220 μF up to 680 μF, while also downsizing by one aluminium-can size, for example from G to F size or from F to D8. The surface-mount capacitors feature a footprint ranging from 6,3 x 7,7 mm up to 10 x 10,2 mm, with typical lifetimes of 2000 hours for smaller can sizes and 3000 hours for larger devices.

The HL series electric double layer capacitors (EDLC) are radial components that come in a variety of capacitances ranging from 2,5 F to 100 F. They are ideal for applications that require large discharge currents, including backup power supplies for servers and storage devices, auxiliary power supplies for solar-powered products such as street lighting, and driver-assist applications for actuators in a variety of markets.

The HL series capacitors offer low resistance combined with guaranteed long life over a wide temperature range from –40°C to +65°C. They are wound radial-lead devices which can achieve far greater capacitance compared to aluminium electrolytic capacitors – by a factor of up to 1000 times more. They also deliver superior charge/discharge performance compared with secondary batteries, offering rapid charge and discharge over more than 500 000 cycles, as well as offering exceptional ageing characteristics leading to lifetimes of over a decade.
