Panasonic Industry has introduced compact surface-mount electrolytic polymer hybrid capacitors that are “one size smaller than ZC series with the same capacitance” and AEC-Q200 compliant for automotive use, it said. Called the ZL series, the parts come in five case sizes from 5mm diameter (ø) x 5.8mm high (47 or 82μF), to 10ø x10.2mm (470 or 680μF). There are two ...

Accurate LCR meter has extremely wide ranges
Sciospec LCR-1 is a PC-based single-channel LCR meter that offers 2-, 3- and 4-port measurements across 100mHz to 500kHz, with 1mΩ – 1TΩ, 10fF – 1kF and 1nH – 1TH capability. Options include upper frequency expansion to 1 or 10MHz, and it comes with PC-based software for automated measurements and analysis, which displays up to four parameters at the same ...
Film capacitors up to 10μF and 1kV handle surges in high power inverters without degrading
Electrocube has created a series of metallised polypropylene film capacitors for high power inverters in military and commercial, land and sea, applications. Voltage ratings of 400, 600 and 1,000V are available, and capacitances from 100nF to 10μF, plus 15 and 20μ in the 400V range “Able to handle high surge currents without degrading, Electrocube’s 985B is a rugged, non-inductively wound ...
Silicon trench capacitors save space in wearables
Rohm has developed its first silicon capacitors, the 400 x 200 x 185μm ( 01005, 0402 metric) BTD1RVFL series which covers 100pF to 1nF. “The mounting area is reduced by approximately 55% over general 0201 [0603 metric] products to just 0.08mm2.” according to the company. “Moreover, a built-in transient voltage suppressor protection element ensures high ESD resistance.” They are rated ...
1µF automotive capacitor is only 160µm tall
At 160µm tall, Murata is claiming to have the thinnest automotive-rated 1µF capacitor, which also measures 0.5 x 1mm. To reduce inductance, it has its terminals along the long sides – so called ‘reverse’ construction. Rated at 2.5V and having a maximum height of 180µm, LLC15SD70E105ME01# is one of only two membeds of a new family that the company has ...
10µF 50V in 1206 aimed at vehicles
Samsung Electro-Mechanics is aiming at automotive powertrains and safety systems with a 10µF 50V MLCC (multi-layer ceramic capacitor) in 3.2 x 1.6mm 1206 packaging. “Thanks to the application of proprietary ceramic and electrode material atomization, alongside ultra-precision lamination, the company was able to create the 10µF MLCC in 1206 size at 50V rating,” according to the company. “Importantly, the new ...
Sponsored Content: Durable and innovative Panasonic capacitors. Solutions involving hybrid, polymer and film capacitors
A single capacitor can influence the lifetime and quality of entire electronic devices. These components wear out relatively easily and are used in virtually all circuits, including power supply modules, filters and voltage converters. Therefore, it is worth getting familiar with a range of brand-name components, such as Panasonic products, designed to ensure long-lasting and reliable operation. Nowadays, it is ...
Murata squeezes 10μF ceramic cap into 0201 – 0603M package
Murata is offering a 4V 10μF ceramic capacitor with ±20% tolerance in a 0201 – 0603M package. “They are currently the smallest MLCC products on the market to deliver such capacitance levels,” claimed the company, “representing a 65% size reduction on the 0402 – 1005M products that would normally need to be specified. ” Called GRM035R60G106M, the parts a -55 ...
10MHz RC oscillator errs ±0.28% over -45 to 125°C
RC oscillators can be small or accurate, and now that can be both after Delft University of Technology*, Silicon Integrated and Tsinghua University revealed a 10MHz RC oscillator with ±0.28% accuracy over -45 to 125°V after a one-point trim, fabricated with a 0.01mm2 footprint in standard 0.18μm CMOS. The scheme avoids needing the need for resistors with opposing temperature coefficients, ...
High-rel NP0 ceramic capacitors for military use
Kyocera has announced NP0 dielectric MLCCs (multi-layer ceramic capacitors) approved to the Defense Logistics Agency Qualified Products Database (DLA QPD) for high-reliability military applications. “The new MIL-PRF-32535 BME NP0 MLCCs have higher CV capabilities than standard surface-mount PME MLCCs qualified to military and aerospace specifications and are currently available in M and T reliability levels and 0402, 0603, and 0805 ...
