Vishay extends the voltage range of automotive grade SMD aluminum capacitors

     Vishay Intertechnology has announced the extension of the voltage range of the auto-grade 146 CTI and 160 CLA series surface-mount aluminum capacitors to 100V and 80V, respectively. Vishay BCcomponents are suitable for automotive and industrial applications at high temperatures with low impedance, large ripple current and long service life.

     The 146 CTI series capacitors are available in 9 dimensions, operating temperatures up to +125 ° C, and the 160 CLA series is available in 6 dimensions, operating at +150 ° C. These capacitors are AEC-Q200 certified with impedance as low as 35mΩ at 100kHz for better filtering, a rated ripple current of 1750mA, a service life of up to 6000 hours and high reliability.

     These capacitors are RoHS compliant, meet the requirements of the strict JEDEC J-STD-020 welding guidelines, and can withstand harsh reflow  conditions, effectively increasing the flexibility of the process. The 146 CTI and 160 CLA series devices are charge and discharge resistant, so there is no limit to peak current, and the 4-pin and 6-pin models are also vibration resistant.

     These polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitors feature non-solid, self-sealing electrolytes that are ideal for smoothing, filtering and buffering applications. Typical end products include automotive power transmission and chassis electronics, equipment for industrial drives, automation and renewable energy, as well as telecommunications equipment and switching power supplies.
