105 Deg C temp withstanding SMD aluminum capacitors with low impedance

The new ECL series, polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitors from Vishay, features a non-solid, self-healing electrolyte. For high-temperature operation, a heat-resistant pad and molded base plate provide additional stability and protection.

Available in six case sizes, ranging from 6.3 mm by 5.8 mm to the larger 12.5 mm by 13.5 mm (width by height), the devices are optimized for inverter circuits and filtering, smoothing, and buffering applications in industrial systems and consumer electronics, such as audio equipment, flashes, and computers.

These capacitors offer a very low impedance Z down to 90 mO at 100 kHz, a ripple current of 670 mA at +105 °C, and a capacitance range from 10 µF to 1500 µF over a voltage range of 6.3 V to 100 V.

Specified according to IEC 60384-4/EN 130300, the ECL devices feature a long life of 2000 hours at +105 °C. Supplied in blister tape-on-reel packaging, the RoHS-compliant capacitors are compatible with reflow soldering and automatic insertion machines.

Samples and production quantities of the new ECL series are available now.
