Snap-in electrolysis withstands 125ºC and loads up to 400 V

26 Jan 2000 Passive Components

Vishay Intertechnology is offering a new range of aluminium-electrolytic capacitors. The EYX snap-in aluminium-electrolytic capacitors are designed for use at high ambient temperatures and with high alternating currents.

The EYX aluminium-electrolytic capacitors are intended mainly for use in automotive and consumer electronics, as well as in telecommunications, where they will withstand temperatures of up to 125°C and loads of up to 400 V. At a temperature of 40°C, the life of the new power-capacitors are claimed to exceed 500 000 h (approximately 60 years). At a continuous temperature of 125°C and a (nominal) voltage of up to 100 V, the company claims they will last for at least 3000 h.

The capacitors are available in capacitance values from 47 to 33 000 µF with (nominal) voltage ratings of 10 to 400 V. They come in industry standard sizes between 22 x 25 and 35 x 50 mm. The EYX range, with its practical snap-in technology, complements the Vishay series of aluminium capacitors.
