Axial-lead and soldering star capacitors
Low ESR
up to 140
°C
B41694, B41794
Applications
For automotive applications with high EMV requirementes
Features
Very high ripple current capability
Very low ESR at temperatures down to 55
°C
High vibration resistance
High reliability of 1000 h at up to 140
°C
Shelf life up to 15 years at storage temperatures up to 40
°C.
To ensure solderability, the capacitors should be built into the
application within one year of delivery. After a total of two
years' storage, the operating voltage must be applied for one
hour to ensure the specified leakage current.
Construction
Charge/discharge-proof, polar
Aluminum case with insulating sleeve
Negative pole connected to case
Terminals
Axial leads, welded to ensure perfect electrical contact
Also available with soldering stars
Taping and Packing
Axial-lead capacitors will be delivered in pallet package.
Capacitors with d

30 mm are also available taped
on reel.
Soldering star capacitors are packed in cardboard.
