Vishay offers high- temperature aluminum electrolytic capacitors

Experts at Vishay Intertechnology Inc. of Malvern, Pa., are introducing a new family of high-temperature aluminum electrolytic capacitors for military and automotive applications. Vishay`s new capacitors, which operate in temperatures as hot as 150 degrees Celsius, are to smooth, filter, couple, and decouple circuits. The devices, called the EBH/EGH series, have useful lifetimes without derating of 1,500 hours at 150 C, 5,000 hours at 125 C, 19,000 hours at 105 C, and more than 500,000 hours — longer than 57 years — at 40 C. The devices offer a range of capacitance options from 220 micro farads to 22,000 micro farads with tolerances of plus-or-minus 20 percent.
