New 095 PLL-4TSI Series of 4-Terminal, Snap-In Power Aluminum Capacitors from Vishay

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. announces a new series of 4-terminal, snap-in power aluminum capacitors with voltage ratings from 350 V to 450 V and a long useful life of 10 000 h at + 85 °C in 17 large case sizes.

• Polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitors with a non-solid electrolyte
• Large case sizes allow for high capacitance/voltage combinations
• For applications where a 500 V rating is required, the 096 PLL-4TSI series  is also offered

Product Benefits:

• Voltage ratings from 350 V to 450 V
• Long useful life of 10 000 h at + 85 °C
• High capacitance/voltage combinations from 390 µF at 450 V to 2200 µF at 350 V - until now normally available only for more expensive screw-terminal capacitors
• High rated ripple current to 8.6 A at + 85 °C
• Offered in 17 large case sizes
• Features a cylindrical aluminum case insulated with a blue sleeve and pressure relief
• Four-terminal design provides increased mechanical stability and keyed polarity
• Lead (Pb)-free and compliant to RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC 

Marketing Applications:

• DC-link capacitors on the main side of switch mode power converters
• Solar inverters, motor drives, and UPS

Key Device Specifications:

The Perspective: 

With larger case sizes than standard snap-in devices, the 095 PLL-4TSI series offers high capacitance/voltage combinations, from 390 µF at 450 V to 2200 µF at 350 V, which until now have been normally offered only in capacitors with screw terminal terminations. The 095 PLL-4TSI makes these combinations available for cost-sensitive applications where PC board mounting is done with a simple soldering process. Moreover their four-terminal design provides increased mechanical stability and keyed polarity.

The devices feature a long useful life of 10 000 h at + 85 °C for solar inverters, motor drives, and UPS devices. For applications where a 500 V rating is required, Vishay also offers the 096 PLL-4TSI series, which provides a 350 V to 500 V rated voltage range, capacitance to 2700 µF, and a useful life of 5000 h at + 85 °C.
