AVX Corporation, a leading manufacturer of passive components and interconnect solutions, has launched its FFLI power film capacitor series, specifically targeting DC filtering. One major advantage of the technology is that unlike aluminium electrolytic devices where there is a high risk of the case exploding at the end of the capacitor’s life, the FFLI Series devices simply experience a reduction in capacitance of about 5% upon reaching end-of-life.

With an expected life of 100,000 hours, FFLI series devices are qualified to IEC 61071 for power electronic capacitors. They also meet the environmental testing requirements of IEC 60068-1 and pass IEC 61373 shocks and vibration tests. Devices feature a CV rating of up to 3000μF and 1900Vdc/100Arms, and can operate in temperatures of up to 95degC.

Explains product manager, Gilles Terzulli: “These new film metalized products are especially suitable for use in modular banks of capacitors for applications such as solar panel installations or wind turbine energy generators.”
