Aluminum Caps Have Long Lives In DC/DC Bricks

Set to meet the demand for 125ûC-rated output capacitors in brick-size dc/dc converters, the Type ESRH surface-mount, polymer aluminum electrolytic capacitor is available with ratings from 68 µF at 8V to 270 µF at 2V. The components have expected lives of more than 10 years in most dc/dc converter applications. They can withstand overvoltages of three times their rated value and can deliver peak currents to 60A and handle continuous ripple currents of 2A or 3A. Price in OEM quantities begins at $0.34.
