On
18th April 2024,
KYOCERA AVX, a prominent global manufacturer specializing in cutting-edge
electronic components geared towards driving technological advancement and
contributing to a more promising future, introduced two new lines of snap-in
aluminum electrolytic capacitors: the SNA Series and SNL Series. Renowned for
their high reliability, elevated voltage capacity, and superior performance
over extended lifespans, both the SNA and SNL Series capacitors were compatible
with lead-free applications and compliant with RoHS standards. Designed to
withstand temperatures ranging from -25°C to +105°C, these capacitors found
optimal utilization across various commercial and industrial sectors, including
frequency converters, solar inverters, power inverters, energy storage systems,
and power supplies.
The
SNA Series snap-in aluminum electrolytic capacitors showcased remarkable ripple
current capabilities, ensuring prolonged performance endurance of 5,000 hours
at 105°C. Upon introduction, they were available across three rated voltages
(250, 420, and 450VDC), featuring 24 case sizes ranging from 22mm x 25mm to
35mm x 50mm (D x L), and capacitance values spanning from 82µF to 1,500µF ±20%.
Likewise,
the SNL Series snap-in aluminum electrolytic capacitors demonstrated endurance
of 3,000 hours at 105°C. Upon launch, they were offered in eight rated voltages
(160, 200, 250, 350, 400, 450, 500, and 550VDC), with 36 case sizes ranging
from 22mm x 20mm to 35mm x 60mm (D x L), and capacitance values ranging from
68µF to 2,200µF ±20%.
Mack
Cartagena, a Staff Research Development Engineer at KYOCERA AVX, expressed
enthusiasm regarding the debut of the new SNA and SNL Series snap-in aluminum
electrolytic capacitors. He emphasized their suitability for diverse
commercial, industrial, and high-reliability applications. Both series featured
fully insulated cases with polarity markings for straightforward snap-in
installation, along with safety vents for reliable overload protection.
Lead-times for the new SNA and SNL Series snap-in aluminum electrolytic
capacitors were stated to be 20–24 weeks, and they were shipped in bulk
packaging.
