150°C barrier for SMD electrolytic capacitors

11 April 2001 Passive Components

BCcomponents now offers an SMD capacitor specified above 150°C.

Specified at 175°C, the Hi-TMP175 exceeds the previous industry-best temperature rating by 50°C, giving it exceptionally long lifetimes as well as high ripple current capabilities. Its performance makes it a practical substitute for many applications currently requiring tantalum and 'Os-con' products.

According to Jaap Beijersbergen, Product Manager at BCcomponents, the new product is well timed, "There is a clear need for passive components with substantially higher temperature ratings than have been available to date. Take the next generation of mobile phone network infrastructures for example. The network hardware must remain super-reliable over several generations of handsets. The next-generation of phones makes this even more important. BCcomponents is working with our industry partners to create the building blocks that will help the industry take its next giant leaps."

The Hi-TMP175 combines the small footprint characteristics of SMD with the reliability of solid aluminium technology. The capacitor will be available up to 68 µF, offer increased ripple current capabilities and decreased ESR values, suited to low voltage power applications. The solid aluminium technology has increased shock resistance and also leads to greater product lifetimes. Added reliability is boosted by the large reverse voltage capability. Even greater increases in product lifetimes and reliability are anticipated from the Hi-TMP200, says BCc.

The high temperature features of Hi-TMP175 are ideally suited to many automotive, power supply and telecom applications. Its solid aluminium features ensure high performance in heated circuit board environments, making it ideal for computer and telecom developers. In addition, its ESR and ripple current handling make it ideal for buffering, smoothing and filtering.
