Vishay Releases 142 RHS Series of Radial, + 105 °C Aluminum Capacitors With Capacitance Values up to 22,000 µF at 10 V and Ripple Currents to 3100 mA at + 105 °C

Vishay Intertechnology Inc. has announced the release of a new series of radial aluminum capacitors that offers very high capacitances, high ripple currents, and high-temperature operation up to + 105 °C.

The 142 RHS devices are available in 15 case sizes, ranging from 5mm by 11mm to 18mm by 40mm. Their enhanced maximum temperature rating of + 105°C allows operation at higher temperatures or extends component life compared to standard 85°C series. Additional features include a high rated ripple current to 3,100mA at + 105°C, and a capacitance range from 1µF to 22,000µF over a voltage range of 10V to 450V.

As a polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor with a nonsolid electrolyte and radial leads, the device's specifications make it ideally suited for smoothing, filtering, buffering, and voltage decoupling applications in SMPS and dc-to-dc power supplies for industrial and telecom systems, domestic appliances, and portable and mobile electronics.

The 142 RHS capacitors offer a very long useful life of 2,500 hours at + 105°C. The RoHS-compliant devices are charge- and discharge-proof, so there is no peak current limitation.
