Snap-in power aluminium capacitors have ratings of 550V, 600V

Vishay Intertechnology is extending its 193 PUR-SI series of miniature snap-in power aluminium electrolytic capacitors. There are now voltage ratings of 550V and 600V.

Vishay extends snap-in power aluminium capacitors with ratings of 550V, 600V

The idea is to allow designers to handle DC bus voltages of up to 1100V with fewer components.

PCB space

“With their higher voltage ratings up to 600 V, the enhanced 193 PUR-SI series devices released today allow designers to achieve this voltage range with fewer components, while eliminating the need for voltage balancing circuits – saving PCB space and reducing BOM costs,” writes Vishay.


“In addition, the added voltage headroom extends capacitor lifetimes and enhances overall system reliability.”


Snap-in power capacitors

The 193 PUR-SI series devices handle ripple currents up to 3.27 A. Lifetime use is quoted as 5,000 hours at +105°C.

They offer capacitance from 47µF to 820µF in 25 compact case sizes ranging from 22mm x 25mm to 35mm x 60mm. The RoHS-compliant capacitors are also available with 3-pin keyed polarity snap-in terminals for more stable PCB mounting.

Buffering

“As polarized aluminium electrolytic capacitors with a non-solid electrolyte, the devices are ideally suited for smoothing, buffering, and DC-Link filtering in switch mode power supplies; chargers, battery management systems (BMS), and motor controls in electric (EV) and hybrid electric (HEV) vehicles; industrial motor drives and air conditioners; solar inverters; medical equipment; UPS; and welding equipment.”
