Miniaturised ultra-long-life elcaps with 'green' electrolyte
9 April 2003
Passive Components
The latest ultra-long-life aluminium electrolytic capacitors from BC Components (BCC) offer higher capacitance values in smaller case sizes than previous devices, as well as featuring a more environmentally-friendly electrolyte.
Combining long life, low ESR and high ripple current capability, the miniaturised BCC 158 PUL-SI snap-in capacitors will save space in industrial, telecommunications and audio/visual power supply applications where long-term reliability is critical. Each device is rated for a long, useful operating life of 5000 hours at an ambient temperature of 105°C and maximum ripple current. The BCC 158 PUL-SI capacitors offer standard voltages from 16 to 100 V, and are available with capacitance values of between 560 µF and 47 000 µF.
Case sizes (diameter x length) range from just 22 x 25 mm to 35 x 50 mm and both two- and three-pin snap-in options are available as standard. Other voltages, pin options and case sizes are available on request.
The 158 PUL-SI series is the successor to the BCC 058 PLL-SI series. In addition to the size reduction, the new capacitors incorporate a new electrolyte that addresses professional lifetime and ripple current specifications, and exceeds the latest requirements for use of more environmentally friendly materials.
