Long lasting snap-in high voltage Aluminum capacitors from Vishay

Vishay has released the 095 PLL-4TSI series of 4-terminal, snap-in power aluminum capacitors with voltage ratings from 350 V to 450 V and a long useful life of 10,000hours at + 85 °C in 17 case sizes.

The key features of 095 PLL-4TSI capacitors are:
1. These capacitors are available in cylindrical aluminum cases that are insulated with blue sleeve and pressure relief.
2. The four-terminal design provides high mechanical stability and keyed polarity.
3. The devices are available in case sizes ranging from 35mm/50mm to 45mm/100mm.
4. These snap-in devices offer capacitance of 390µF at 450V to 2,200µF at 350V.
5. PC board mounting is done with a simple soldering process.
6. The capacitors offer a ripple current of 8.6 A at + 85 °C and are lead (Pb)-free and compliant to RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC.
7. These devices are suitable for DC-link capacitors on the main side of switch mode power converters and their focus end products include solar inverters, motor drives, and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS).

Vishay also offers the 096 PLL-4TSI capacitors with a 500V rating. These devices offer a 350-V to 500-V rated voltage range, capacitance to 2,700 µF, and a useful life of 5,000 h at + 85 °C.

Availability: Samples and production quantities of the aluminum capacitors are available now, with lead times of 10 weeks.
