New PhMKP Series LVAC Power Capacitors With ESTAspring Are Industry’s First to Feature Lever- Operated Spring Terminal Connection
The News:
Vishay Intertechnology introduces a new series of LVAC power capacitors featuring ESTAspring, the industry’s first lever -operated spring terminal connection.
Reducing assembly time by 60 %, the Vishay ESTA PhMKP series increases connection reliability in high vibration applications.
- While most tubular power capacitors feature an IP20 terminal block with a screw connection, the ESTAsprin connection of the PhMKP series is completely screwless:
- Enables a faster and easier connection
- Continuous contact force ensures the highest level of contact reliability over the devices’ entire lifetime
- Ideal for applications prone to loose connections.
- Without the need to tighten screws, the capacitors provide a completely maintenance-free connection
- Allows for a simple optical connection check; if the lever is closed, the device is successfully contacted
