The NSPE products feature ultra-low ESR, stability at low temperature and the high current rating performance of SOLID POLYMER electrolyte version aluminum electrolytic capacitors, with the advantages of liquid electrolyte construction (higher voltage ratings, higher temperature ratings and improved tolerance to abnormal transient conditions). Ideal for use as higher voltage replacements or alternates to solid polymer (organic semiconductor type OS-CON) aluminum electrolytic capacitors. Five NSPE series are now available covering voltage ratings up to 100VDC, operating temperatures to +135°C, and load life ratings to 10,000 hours @ +105°C. Compatible with Pb-Free (SAC Alloy) reflow soldering process; +260°C & +250°C soldering heat rated Series Temp Range Load Life @ Max Temp Voltage Rating Capacitance Range 100KHz ESR1 100Hz RCR2 @ Max Temp Reflow Limit Auto Equipment NSPE-S -55°C +105°C 3K& 5KHrs 6.3~ 16VDC 10~ 1000uF ≥0.015Ω ≤3.89A +250°C Option NSPE-H -55°C +105°C 5K~ 10KHrs 25~ 100VDC 2.7~ 270uF ≥0.022Ω ≤2.53A +260°C Standard NSPE-T -55°C +125°C 1.5~ 3KHrs 25~ 63VDC 3.9~ 270uF ≥0.022Ω ≤1.52A +260°C Standard NSPE-U -55°C +125°C 2KHrs 6.3~ 16VDC 22~ 560uF ≥0.016Ω ≤2.19A +250°C Option NSPE-Y -55°C +135°C 2KHrs 6.3 ~ 16VDC 22 ~ 270uF ≥0.016Ω ≤2.19A +260°C Standard 1 – ESR = Equivalent Series Resistance (Ω) 2 – RCR = Ripple Current Rating (Arms) Hybrid Construction Advantages: Higher voltage & temperature ratings than Solid Polymer Version Alum E-caps Low ESR & High Ripple Current Ratings (RCR) High Voltage; 35V, 40V, 50V, 63V, 80V & 100VDC Wide Temperature -55°C to +135°C Extended life: 10,000 hrs @ +105°C Low ESR - Z at low temperature (-55°C) [LINK] High Capacitance; up to 1000uF Surge & Transient Resistant … Open mode failure & Wear-out Reduces number of components per PCB ISO 9001:2000 REGISTERED Page 2 of 2 “YF” suffix versions, for automotive equipment, sourced to special production and inspection at TS-16949 certified production site are standard on NSPE-H, NSPE-T & NSPE-Y and option on NSPE-S & NSPE-U :: Key Parameters - Substitutes & Selection Tips NSPE-x hybrid technology fills the void, so you don’t get pushed into using solid polymer electrolyte technology if not needed Select NSPE-x series based upon: Î Capacitance Value Î Voltage Requirements Î Operating Temperature Range Cross & Replace Solid Polymer Versions based upon: Î Required Lifetime Î ESR and Ripple Current Rating (RCR) Î Operating Temperature Range Use NPSE-x Series to Cross and Replace these Solid Polymer Type V-Chip Alum E-caps: Competition Series Nichicon CF, CJ, CG United Chemicon PXS, PXF, PXE, PXA, PXH Sanyo OS-CON (SVP, SVQ) NIC Technical Support: [email protected] & www.niccomp.com/support Specification Data Sheets: www.niccomp.com/catalog/nspe-h.pdf www.niccomp.com/catalog/nspe-s.pdf www.niccomp.com/catalog/nspe-t.pdf www.niccomp.com/catalog/nspe-u.pdf www.niccomp.com/catalog/nspe-y.pdf NIC Sales Contacts: Europe / Tel: 44 1280 813 737 ...
