Vishay Releases New Automotive Grade Miniature Aluminum Capacitors Featuring High Ripple Current and Long Life

Vishay Intertechnology introduces a new series of low impedance, Automotive Grade miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitors that combines high ripple currents up to 3.8 A with high temperature operation to +105 °C and very long useful life of 10,000 hat 105°C.

Compared to previous-generation solutions, the 170 RVZ series capacitors offer lower impedance and 10 % to 15 % higher ripple current. This allows designers to utilize fewer components, increasing design flexibility and saving board space. Available in smaller case sizes that previous-generation solutions.

Features:

  • Polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitors with a non-solid electrolyte
  • High ripple currents up to 3.8 A
  • High temperature operation to +105 °C
  • Very long useful life of 10,000 h
  • AEC-Q200 qualified
  • Available in case sizes ranging from 10 mm by 12 mm up to 18 mm to 40 mm
  • Feature radial leads and a cylindrical aluminum case, insulated with a blue sleeve
  • Rated voltages up to 63 V
  • Capacitance from 100 μF to 6800 μF
  • Low ESR and low impedance
  • Charge-and discharge-proof
  • RoHS-compliant

Applications:

Smoothing, filtering, and buffering in switch mode power supplies and DC/DC converters for applications:

  • industrial
  • automotive
  • telecommunications
  • medical
  • consumer

Availability:Samples and production quantities of the 170 RVZ series are available now, with lead times of six weeks.
