How YMIN’s LKC Achieves Only 11.62% Capacitance Loss at -55 °C – Benchmarked Against Japanese and Taiwanese High-Voltage Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors Dear fellow engineers, one of the most frustrating challenges in power supply design is when capacitors “let you down” due to severe capacitance degradation in low-temperature environments. Today, through a set of real comparative test data, we take a ...
TDK has introduced hybrid polymer electrolytics that can resist 30g vibration, for automotive and industrial applications – tested to MIL-STD-202, Method 204. The parts are surface-mount, and their vibration resistance “is achieved by four posts that come out of the base plate of the component and stabilise the can in the event of mechanical shocks and vibrations”, according to the ...
TDK has unveiled through-hole aluminum electrolytic capacitors designed to work at up to +140°C for automotive power steering, fan control and transmission systems. They come in axial-lead (B41699) and soldering star (B41799, see photo) types, rated to 25 or 35V, with capacitance ranging from 1,800 to 13,000µF. These are branded as “ultra compact” by the company. Picking a mid-range example, 4,700μF types ...
