NEW Vibration-Proof Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors
KYOCERA AVX has introduced the new AEVA and AEVB Series of aluminium electrolytic capacitors, specifically engineered to address the demanding conditions of harsh industrial environments. As a leading global manufacturer of advanced electronic components, KYOCERA AVX developed these series to overcome the mechanical stress challenges that have historically limited the application of aluminium electrolytic capacitors in industrial settings.
These new capacitors are distinguished by their compact, surface-mount form factors and robust design, delivering high-CV and long-lifetime performance. A key differentiator is their innovative construction, featuring unique plastic supports and specialised termination shapes that significantly improve vibration performance and maximise soldering area, thereby increasing board mounting strength. This design enables them to reliably withstand up to 30g acceleration and operate across wide temperature ranges, setting them apart from conventional can-type aluminium electrolytics.
