TDK offers hybrid polymer capacitors with very high ripple current capability

April 09, 2024

TDK Corporation (TSE:6762) presents the B40910 series of hybrid polymer capacitors which can handle up to 4.6 A (100 kHz, +125 °C). This is because at room temperature the surface mount components offer an extremely low ESR value of 17 mΩ and 22 mΩ, respectively. Furthermore, their ESR does not change as much with temperature as standard electrolytic capacitors with liquid electrolytes. The 10 x 10.2 mm or 10 x 12.5 mm (D x H) small components have a rated voltage of 63 V and cover a capacitance range from 82 µF to 120 µF.

As their temperature range spans from -40 °C to +145 °C, the reflow solderable capacitors are typically used in demanding applications in automotive and industrial segments. Their useful life is more than 4000 h at a temperature of +135 °C at the rated voltage and the maximum ripple current IAC,max.

Larsen & Toubro Builds Data Centers with Effective Cooling Using Cadence Reality DC Design

Sponsored by Cadence Design Systems

Larsen & Toubro built the world’s largest FIFA stadium in Qatar, the world’s tallest statue, and one of the world’s most sophisticated cricket stadiums. Their latest business venture? Designing data centers. Since IT equipment in data centers generates a lot of heat, it’s important to have an efficient and effective cooling system. Learn why, Larsen & Toubro use Cadence Reality DC Design Software for simulation and analysis of the cooling system.
