High-Temp. Long Lifetime SMT Aluminum Electrolytics

NIC Components has announced the addition of NAYT series of extended temperature +135 degrees C rated automotive-grade long lifetime capacitors to its expanded family of surface mount (SMT) aluminum electrolytic capacitors.

NAYT series meets automotive grade AEC-Q200 test requirements and features wide operating temperature range of -40 to +135 degrees C, with 2,000 hours load life rating at +135 degrees C (equivalent to 16,000 hours at +105 degrees C and 64,000 hours at +85 degrees C). +135 degrees C rating is well-suited for use as surface mount replacement for radial leaded (LDD) version capacitors when used in long lifetime applications; such as automobile systems, and other high temperature applications.

Capacitance value range of the NAYT series covers 47uF to 1000uF in ±20% (M) tolerance, with voltage ratings from 16Vdc to 50Vdc in 8x10.8mm, 10x10.8mm and 12.5x14mm (DØxH) case sizes. Wide terminal option (‘W’) is offered for use in high vibration applications, such as automotive power train, drive train and industrial controls.

Circuit applications for NAYT series include use as input and output capacitors on dc-dc switchers, point of load regulators, load stepping, bulk storage. Additional uses in ripple noise filtering applications in servers, routers, embedded computing, lighting displays and cellular base stations.

NAYT series is RoHS complaint, and Pb-free SAC Alloy soldering compatibility at +245 to +260 degrees C reflow soldering temperatures. Unit pricing for NAYT series ranges from $0.15 to $0.39 in production volumes.
