Vishay Intertechnology has introduced two series of automotive grade, surface-mount aluminium electrolytic capacitors that combine working at up to 450V and up to +125°C with a useful life up to 6,000 hours, aiming them at automotive and industrial applications.

152 CME and 192 CTX series capacitors (see table below) are polarised and have a non-solid electrolyte.

They are AEC-Q200 qualified, and intended for smoothing, filtering and buffering in power supplies and portable chargers.

Capacitance from 2.2µF to 33µF is available in seven case sizes ranging from 10 x 10 x 10mm to 18 x 18 x 21mm.

“The RoHS-compliant capacitors offer charge-proof and discharge-proof performance with no peak current limitation, allow for Pb-free re-flow soldering in accordance with JEDEC J-STD-020, and offer vibration-proof performance in 4pin and 6pin versions,” claimed the company.
