KYOCERA AVX Introduces Robust Vibration-Proof Aluminum Capacitors for Industrial Use
KYOCERA AVX Launches Innovative Vibration-Proof Capacitors
KYOCERA AVX has taken a significant step forward in the electronic components industry with the release of its new AEVA and AEVB Series aluminum electrolytic capacitors. Designed specifically for robust industrial environments, these capacitors exhibit remarkable performance under high mechanical stress. This innovation represents a leap in the longevity and reliability expected in demanding applications.
What Sets AEVA and AEVB Series Apart?
One of the standout features of these new capacitors is their compact design, which makes them an excellent choice for surface-mount applications. The AEVA and AEVB Series are built to withstand harsh conditions, showcasing the ability to endure up to 30g of acceleration while operating across a wide temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. This broad operational capacity makes them suitable for a variety of applications involving high vibration and temperature fluctuations.
Enhanced Performance and Reliability
Unlike traditional aluminum electrolytic capacitors, the AEVA and AEVB Series come equipped with innovative plastic supports that bolster vibration resilience. This design not only enhances the capacitors' durability but also optimizes the soldering area through unique terminations, which ultimately increases the mounting strength on circuit boards.
In addition to these features, both the AEVA and AEVB Series capacitors utilize liquid electrolyte dielectrics that provide high-capacitance values within smaller packages compared to their can-type counterparts. They demonstrate very low Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) and are designed for low leakage, resulting in negligible energy loss during use.
Specifications and Applications
The AEVA Series capacitors are available in five case sizes (0810, 1010, 1213, 1616, and 1821), supporting voltage ratings from 6.3V to 100VDC and capacitance values from 10μF to 4,700μF, while maintaining a ±20% tolerance. On the other hand, the AEVB Series comes in four sizes (0810, 1010, 1213, and 1616) with voltage ratings between 16V and 50VDC and a capacitance range of 47μF to 2,200μF. Both series ensure rated lifetimes of up to 5,000 hours at 125°C operational temperatures, exemplifying reliability in demanding environments.
These capacitors are ideally suited for applications in robotics, embedded motor control units, photovoltaic inverters, power tools, DC/DC converters, and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). They are shipped in 15-inch reels, perfect for automated placement, and comply with RoHS standards, ensuring a commitment to environmentally friendly production practices.
Quality Assurance and Testing
KYOCERA AVX emphasizes the importance of quality and durability in all their products. Each capacitor from the AEVA and AEVB Series undergoes rigorous testing in accordance with international standards, guaranteeing that they meet the exceptional quality that KYOCERA AVX is renowned for.
Mack Cartagena, a Staff Research Development Engineer at KYOCERA AVX, stated, "Mechanical stress has long been a critical concern for aluminum electrolytic capacitors. To overcome this common challenge, we enhanced the structural integrity of our new series significantly, ensuring those components remain reliable even under the most severe conditions."
Conclusion
KYOCERA AVX is committed to driving technological innovation, and the AEVA and AEVB Series vibration-proof aluminum electrolytic capacitors are a testament to this goal. As industries continue to seek components that deliver reliability and longevity, these capacitors stand out as premier choices for professionals in sectors that demand excellence.
