Vishay BCcomponents

FEATURES

• Polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitors,

non-solid electrolyte

• Radial leads, cylindrical aluminum case with

pressure relief, insulated with a blue vinyl sleeve

• Charge and discharge proof

• Very long useful life: 3000 to 4000 hours at 105 °C, high

reliability.

• High ripple current capability, low impedance, low ESR

• Lead (Pb)-free versions are RoHS compliant

APPLICATIONS

• Power conversion, EDP, telecommunication, industrial

and audio-video

• Smoothing, filtering, buffering in SMPS, timing

MARKING

The capacitors are marked (where possible) with the

following information:

• Rated capacitance (in µF)

• Tolerance on rated capacitance, code letter in accordance

with IEC 60062 (M for ± 20 %)

• Rated voltage (in V)

• Date code, in accordance with IEC 60062

• Code indicating factory of origin

• Name of manufacturer

• Upper category temperature (105 °C)

• Negative terminal identification

• Series number (046)
