Devices offer 100µF capacitance at 6.3V and are part of the only family of polymer devices on the market capable of withstanding the lead-free requirement for reflow at 3x260degC. The company guarantees operation up to 125degC, with parts offering a defined ESR specification after reflow soldering. They also exhibit a safer non-ignition failure mode as well as improved capacitance retention compared to conventional MnO2 electrode capacitors.
The new capacitor will be ideal for designers of small 4.5-5.5V battery-operated handheld equipment such as mobile phones, PDAs, MP3 players and digital cameras.
