14-02-2024 | New Yorker Electronics | Passives

New Yorker Electronics has released Exxelia’s new Alcon FP-20-400-SP Film-Capacitor for high-power applications. Because of its outstanding power density, it can handle high levels of power without compromising performance.

This device has an operating frequency of up to 1000KHz and a capacitance range of 0.10µF to 2.5µF. VRMS options are available in 500V, 600V, 700V, 800V and 1000V with a max power of 400KVAR and a frequency range of 106kHz through 637kHz. The Exxelia Alcon FP-20-400-SP is constructed to withstand the rigours of demanding environments, providing reliability in critical applications. In demanding power electronic circuits, this capacitor is a trusted component for smooth operation in induction heating, EVs, medical imaging, EV wireless chargers, resonant circuits and industrial induction welding.

The wide temperature range allows this series to operate flawlessly across a broad temperature range (up to 85C with a copper casing to improve temperature management). This makes it ideal for various industries, including aerospace, defence and renewable energy, where extreme conditions are the norm.

This polypropylene capacitor series is conduction-cooled, self-healing and has a ±10% capacity tolerance. The Flame Retardant UL94-V0, RoHS compliant, and because of an innovative process, Exxelia keeps the capacitor very dense while keeping very good electrical characteristics (such as current) without impairing the heating of the part.
