The new AEC-Q200 qualified ZT series of Conductive Polymer Hybrid Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors from Panasonic Industry Europe exceeds conventional high current and high temperature performance.
Advancing the performance specifications of the currently popular ZC series of Hybrid Capacitors, Panasonic Industry now brings into play new ZT series which stands out with an exceptional persistence and robustness for a vast number of demanding applications. “Properly applied, ZT series reliably guarantees circuit safety at one of the highest temperature working ranges currently available in the market”, as Yusuke Nagata, Capacitor Section Team Leader at Panasonic Industry, points out.4000 hours at 125°C, 8000 hours at 115°C and 16000 hours at 105°C render ZT an ideal choice for the rather demanding types of modern industrial, automotive or power supply applications. Currently available with a rated voltage 25~63VDC and a significant increase of 75~118% in Ripple current capability, Panasonic’s latest hybrid capacitor evolution meets also the ambitious AEC-Q200 requirements. Nagata summarizes the field of relevant real world applications: “Next to many others, it reliably qualifies for being applied to inverters, converters, robotics, rectifier circuits – and in particular for automotive parts under the hood where conditions turn out to be exceptionally harsh and hot”. Good to know for that harsh matter: Panasonic Industry also offers a vibration-proof version of ZT capacitors coming with a diameter of 8mm or larger. Those are able to handle shocks of as much as 30G, clearly exceeding standard vibration tolerance of 10G.
