In addition, V-TCU parts also offer 1.2 to 2.2 times larger capacitance values (220 to 680µF) while downsizing by one can size (G to F size or F to D8 size).
Suited for applications such as automotive ECU in DC/DC filtering and output ripple smoothing, the can-shape surface-mount capacitors feature a footprint from 6.3×7.7mm up to 10×10.2mm and a lifetime of 2,000 hours for smaller can sizes and 3,000 hours for larger can sizes.
Stefan Fritsch, Panasonic, commented: “With the new V-TC and V-TCU aluminium electrolytic capacitors our customers benefit from the high ripple current and capacitance capabilities while maintaining the same land pattern as before.”
