Extended vibration capability for lowimpedance radial and SMD capacitors
Vishay BCcomponents has extended the vibration capability of its low impedance series of radial aluminum
electrolytic capacitors to 50 g and for SMD capacitors to 30 g.
The vibration capability of the low-impedance radial series like the 150RMI and 146RTI has been increased from
10 g to 50 g with the creation of improved designs. For SMD products like the 150CRZ, 146CTI, and 160CLA,
Vishay can now offer vibration capability up to 30 g. The key element of this improvement is the addition of extra
mechanical fixation of the internal capacitor structure to the encasing. The careful implementation of this new
process guarantees that the electrical specifications of the products are not impacted, so the low impedance and
temperature capability up to 150 °C are maintained. With the enhanced devices, customers benefit from the
knowledge that their applications will be able withstand extreme vibration levels in harsh environments such as
heavy industrial equipment and under-the-hood automotive environments.
