Radial Aluminum Capacitors have no peak current limitation.
Press Release Summary:
Operating in temperatures to +125°C, 146 RTI devices are polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitors with non-solid, self-healing electrolyte and radial leads suited for smoothing, filtering, buffering, and voltage decoupling applications in SMPS and DC/DC power supplies. They offer impedance as low as 18 mW @ 100 kHz, capacitance range of 68-6,800 µF, and high ripple current of 3,200 mA over voltage range of 16-63 V. RoHS-compliant products are charge- and discharge-proof.
Original Press Release:
Vishay Releases New 146 RTI Series of Radial, High-Temperature, Low-Impedance Aluminum Capacitors with Z as Low as 18 milliohms, Capacitance Values up to 6800 µF, and Ripple Currents to 3200 mA at +125°C
MALVERN, PENNSYLVANIA - Jan. 23, 2009 - Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today announced the release of a new series of radial aluminum capacitors that offers very low impedance values, high capacitances, high ripple currents, and high-temperature operation up to +125 °C.
The 146 RTI devices are available in 13 case sizes, ranging from 10 mm by 12 mm to the larger 18 mm by 35 mm. For enhanced performance and reliability, the capacitors offer very low impedance, which is specified as low as 18 mW at 100 kHz, a high rated ripple current of 3200 mA at +125 °C, and a capacitance range from 68 µF to 6800 µF over a voltage range of 16 V to 63 V.
A polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor with a non-solid, self-healing electrolyte and radial leads, the device.s specifications make it ideally suited for smoothing, filtering, buffering and voltage decoupling applications in SMPS and dc-to-dc power supplies for industrial, automotive, telecommunications, and military systems.
The 146 RTI capacitors offer a very long useful life of 2500 hours to 6000 hours at +125 °C. The RoHS-compliant devices are charge- and discharge-proof, so there is no peak current limitation.
Samples and production quantities of the 146 RTI capacitors are available now, with lead times of 15 weeks for larger orders.
