Technological changes

Important features

Application areas

TCN polymer capacitors

High CV rating in low profile package

Uses undertab design to optimise internal maximum volumetric efficiency, enabling these parts to offer the popular 150µF/6.3V rating in an L case measuring just 3.5 x 2.8 mm and with a profile of only 1mm

Ideal for small, low profile consumer devices such as mobile phones and MP3 players manufacturers

RoHS compliant Turbocap

Uses base metal electrode (BME) technology and has unique vertically stacked construction

Combines high CV values and high current carrying capacity with low ESR/ESL characteristics to provide excellent high frequency performance

Stacked capacitors are ideal for high frequency input/output filters, high efficiency converters, DC/DC converters, hybrid vehicles, military/COTS plus power supplies, medical electronics equipment, industrial equipment, telecom and alternative energy

Automotive transguard (R)

Designated VCAS series, AEC Q200 qualified varistors are designed to meet automobile industry standards and feature excellent energy/current handling capability

Automotive applications such as CAN based module, sensor, module load dump protection and motor/inductive load transient suppression applications in internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) and commercial vehicles
