NSPE-HC from NIC Components is a series of AEC-Q200 automotive-grade surface mount aluminium electrolytic capacitors. In five case sizes from 6.3 x 6.3mm diameter to 12.8 x 10mm diameter, the series covers 56 to 560μF in ratings of 25 and 35Vdc, with operation over -55 to +105°C and a load life rating of 5000 hours at +105°C. “The performance of ...

Kyocera AVX has introduced a series of pouch-style supercapacitors for decreasing current surges in batteries. Called the SCP Series and branded PrizmaCap, they “can be used on their own as system power backup devices, replacing batteries in some cases, or they can be used in conjunction with primary or secondary batteries”, according to distributor Anglia, which is stocking the parts. ...

Epson has introduced a ±20ppm (25°C, 12pF) 32.768kHz crystals in 2 x 1.2mm (FC2012AN) packaging. ESR is typically 35kΩ at 25°C. Operation is over -40 to +105°C, with ESR typically 50kΩ max -40 to +85°C in the smaller size, and 60kΩ max -40 to +105°C. Consumption is 319nA in a given situation, compared to 395nA for the company’s earlier FC20-M. ...

Murata has introduced a series of chip ferrite beads with a 20A current rating, aiming them at the battery charging systems and powertrains of electric vehicles, as well as in industrial equipment. Called the BLE32SN series, its members are 3.2 x 2.5 x 2mm (1210 or metric 3225) and operate over -55 to +125°C or -55°C to +150°C. “By leveraging ...

Stacked multi-layer polymer (MLP) film capacitors from Paktron Capacitors are now available from distributor New Yorker Electronics, following a distribution agreement between the two companies. Paktron’s range of low ESR MLP capacitors, metalised polypropylene capacitors and film/foil polypropylene capacitors will be available at some of the shortest lead times available today, says New Yorker Electronics. Paktron Capacitors holds over 75 ...

Kemet has launched the CAS series, a range of surface-mounted safety-certified multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) for use in mains-powered applications. It addresses the demand for miniaturization without compromising on performance, the firm claims. Kemet’s CAS series of SMD MLCCs offers important design and production benefits versus leaded disc devices for AC line filtering in this expanding market. With a trend ...

Panasonic has added a  long-life surface mount type series to its product line of OS-CON Conductive Polymer-Aluminum-Solid Capacitors. Available with a rated voltage of 2.5VDC, 6.3VDC and 16VDC, SVPT products benefit from huge capacitance values (100µF up to 560µF) and low ESR characteristics (15-24mΩ max.). The components are able to withstand +105°C for up to 20.000 hours making them ideal for ...
