New ruggedized capacitor is designed for long life in harsh conditions

New Yorker Electronics has released a new ruggedized capacitor with an extraordinary shelf-life and built for applications demanding very high-performance under all operating conditions. The new Cornell Dubilier Electronics HHT Series of ruggedized axial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitors are designed to endure the rigours of extreme industrial and aerospace applications. The HHT is claimed to be the only axial-lead electrolytic featuring a glass-to-metal seal to prevent dry out of the capacitor electrolyte. Shelf life is ten years and operational rated life is 2,000 hours at rated voltage and at +175C. At 150C and full-rated voltage, HHT capacitors outperform competitive technologies in a 5,000-hour test with ripple currents of up to 10 Arms. This level of performance makes the HHT an excellent match for high-stress applications in defence, aerospace, down-hole and off-road transportation applications. Nine values are offered, from 470µF to 4,700µF, with ratings from 16VDC to 40VDC. The case diameter is a low-profile 20mm for all values, with length varying from 37mm to 53mm depending on values. The axial lead wires are a substantial 18 AWG. They are RoHS compliant and free of conflict materials.
