This new series of miniature switchmode power supply filter capacitors uses BME (Base Metal Electrode) construction to achieve 300-400% capacitance increases and component size reductions compared to their PME (Precious Metal Electrode) counterparts per the examples below.
Key Features:
  • High Capacitance, Small SIze
  • Low ESR/ESL
  • Leadframe reduces thermal & mechanical stress due to board flexure and TCE mismatch
  • Green / ROHS Compliant
Applications:
  • DC-DC Converters
  • Power Supply Input & Output Filters
  • High Capacitance Applications Where Increased Reliability is Required
