New ultra-thin polymer aluminium electrolytic capacitor series

New Yorker Electronics has released a new ultra-thin polymer electrolytic capacitor that provides a new capacitor form factor. The Cornell Dubilier Electronics’ new PPC Series, created especially for applications needing high ripple current and the thinnest profile possibilities, opens up completely new product design options. In addition to being only 1mm thin, the series utilises versatile packaging technology that makes it feasible for capacitors to be formed into custom shapes and sizes to fit available space.

Rated for 125C, the series blends the advantages of aluminium electrolytic and aluminium polymer technology. These capacitors have the ultralow ESR properties of conductive aluminium polymer capacitors in a 1mm thin package. With high capacitance and high ripple current per volume, applications for 125C polymer capacitors include DC-DC converters, telecommunications, thin displays, tablets, and variety of industrial power conversion.

Custom values are possible within a capacitance range of 8,000µF to 20,000µF, with working voltages varying from 6.3 to 24WVDC.

The series is rated for 10g peak for vibration and withstands shocks up to 100g’s (MIL-STD-202, Method 213, Condition I). With flat tin-plated copper terminations, it is possible to mount the device off-board or directly to a PCB. Mounting is using 3M double-sided VHB tape, to ensure that the entire capacitor surface is kept rigid.
