Miniature long-life capacitor guarantees 3,000 hours of operation

New Yorker Electronics has just released a new miniature aluminium electrolytic capacitor series designed to hold up to intense outdoor environments, including extreme heat. United Chemi-Con’s new GXF Series of radial lead type aluminium electrolytic capacitors addresses an industry need for a radial lead type that sustains broad voltage, wide capacitance ranges, low ESR and long life at applied ripple currents up to more than 125C. With the industry trends toward extreme temperatures in automotive power modules and high performance power supply applications, this new capacitor transforms how high-temp radials can be used in extreme environments because it offers the industry’s most extensive capacitance/voltage values per cubic volume for a +125C radial. Their new capacitors are recommended for smoothing and holdup for automotive modules and extreme high performance power supply applications requiring up to 400VDC (450VDC available) operation at high temperatures. The series also has excellent low temperature characteristics. This makes them extremely useful for outdoor applications where performance must be realised over a broad spectrum of temperatures from -40C through +125C.
