Panasonic Industry Europe introduces new FP series automotive-qualified Aluminium electrolytic capacitors

Radial capacitors offer high ripple current and large capacitance values

Munich, July 2018: Panasonic Industry Europe is releasing a new series of automotive-qualified Aluminium electrolytic capacitors benefiting from very high ripple current (2 to 2.5 times higher than existing FC series products) and large capacitance values (up to 60% higher than existing FC series products). FP series radial lead type devices also feature a high endurance of 4000h up to 5000h at 105°C.

Further technical details of FP series capacitors include an operating temperature range of -55°C up to +105°C, a rated voltage of 25VDC up to 35VDC, a capacitance range of 510μF up to 2000μF, and a capacitance tolerance of ±20% (120Hz/+20°C). FP series devices are fully RoHS compliant and AECQ-200 compliant.

Mustafa Khan, Product Marketing Manager Capacitors at Panasonic comments: “It has been while since we last released a new product in this category, in fact six years, so we are happy to augment our THT portfolio for the automotive market which is a key growth area in Europe.”

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
