Vishay BC Components' has extended its high-temperature 140 CRH and low-impedance 150 CRZ series of surface-mount aluminum capacitors with devices that meet the rigorous IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 soldering guidelines for severe reflow conditions.

The new capacitors offer the most severe reflow soldering profile available in seven case sizes that range from 10 mm by 10 mm by 10 mm to the larger 18 mm by 18 mm by 21 mm. The 140 CRH devices provide high-temperature performance to +125°C, and the 150 CRZ capacitors feature a very low "Z" or maximum impedance of 0.035 Ω at 100 kHz and a ripple current to 1,756 mA.

As polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitors with a non-solid, self-healing electrolyte, the AEC-Q200-qualified devices are ideally suited for filtering, smoothing, buffering, and voltage decoupling applications. Typical end products will include automotive power trains and chassis electronics, industrial drivers, automation, equipment for renewable energy, SMPS units (domestic appliances and building control), and telecom equipment.

The RoHS-compliant 140 CRH and 150 CRZ capacitors are charge- and discharge-proof, so there is no peak current limitation. For vibration-proof performance, the devices are offered in 4-pin and 6-pin versions.
