Passive Components


Electrolytics target automotive 42 V systems

30 January 2002 Passive Components

BCcomponents is launching a framework for customer-specific automotive qualified components based on its latest series of electrolytic capacitors. The company is working alongside manufacturers to customise specifications of the product for use in a range of automotive applications related to the 42 V boardnet.

The introduction of the new 100 Series has further extended BCcomponents' commitment to becoming a key development partner for the automotive industry, especially in the area of 42 V electronics. The 100 series is optimised for use in automotive 42 V boardnet applications, such as integrated starter alternator (ISA) X-by-wire systems and DC/DC converters for transforming 42 V down to 12 V.

The 100 series offers optimised thermal characteristics of 125°C, extreme electrical performance and vibration resistance, as well as high ripple current capability, ensuring maximum capability in dealing with the harsh automotive environment. Electrolytic capacitors are key components in the realisation of the 42 V boardnet, currently being developed by all major OEMs and system houses. The 100 series can also be used in other applications, such as industrial motor controls, which demand a product with extreme thermal and electrical performance.
