HYBRID CAPACITORS

For DCDC Converters or Smart Meter Control Boards

Tough against humidity and extreme temperature, longer lifetime, perfect for outdoor usage.

  • Higher ripple (up to 5.8 Arms)
  • Small case size (down to 5 x 5.8 mm)
  • Super-low leakage current
  • AEC-Q200 compliant
  • Anti-vibration type available for all standard type (Φ6 )

Hybrid capacitors combine a conductive polymer and electrolyte liquid to enable high performance and high reliability. As features of both technologies, large ripple current (low equivalent series resistance - ESR), low leakage current and high reliability all contribute to downsizing and the high reliability of the equipment. In addition, hybrid has a long lifetime thanks to polymer technology, and its ESR shows little change, even at low temperatures, and high humidity resistance performance. This makes it perfect for use with smart meters that are installed outdoors or exposed to low temperatures.

FILM CAPACITORS

Safety and Reliability Guaranteed for Optimized Solar Inverter Design

Zero safety risk and high resistance against moisture

 

  • Rated voltage 275VAC to 310VAC (EMI suppression safety class X2), 250VAC to 600VAC (output AC filter), 450VDC to 1100VDC (input DC filter and snubber)
  • 0.0082μF to 10μF (EMI suppression safety class X2), 0.1μF to 110μF (input /output filter and snubber)
  • -40°C to 110°C
  • Built-in fuse function
  • High moisture resistance
  • Flame-retardant plastic (case and sealing resin)

The outstanding feature of Panasonic‘s film capacitors is the intergrated safety function. An original in-house patterned metallization process is the basis of a special structure which performs as a fuse mechanism that prevents the capacitor from experiencing short mode failure. Additionally, it achieves a very stable capacitance level over the capacitor‘s lifetime and therefore guarantees high reliablility. Furthermore, a long lifetime is realized by high temperature and moisture resistance using an originally developed sealing technology.

POLYMER CAPACITORS

OS-CON Conductive Polymer Aluminum Solid Capacitors

High voltage, high reliability and long lifetime.

  • A wide voltage range from 2 to 100 volts
  • High capacitance up to 2700μF
  • Low ESR down to 5mΩ
  • Long lifetime
  • High ripple current

OS-CON is an aluminum solid capacitor with high conductive polymer. OS-CON acquires low equivalent series resistance (ESR), excellent noise reduction capability and frequency characteristics. In addition, OSCON has a long life span and its ESR shows little change, even at low temperatures, which makes it perfect use in security, surveillance cameras and any applications that are installed outdoors or exposed to low temperatures. Low temperatures and long usage can deteriorate capacitance and ESR of capacitors that contain liquid, but OS-CON, due to its solid material, is not affected by these factors.

Fixed resistors play an important role in energy management by limiting the flow of current and dissipating energy as heat. They are commonly used in power supplies, motor control circuits, and other electronic systems to regulate voltage, current, and power. By limiting the amount of current that flows through a circuit, fixed resistors help prevent damage to other components and improve the overall efficiency of the system. In some cases, fixed resistors are used in combination with other components, such as capacitors, to create filters that help reduce noise and improve the quality of the power supply. Overall, fixed resistors are essential components in energy management systems and play a critical role in maintaining the stability and reliability of electronic devices.

POWER CHOKE COILS

Metal Composite Magnetic Core Technology for High Current Capability and Outstanding Reliability

Downsize your application to invisibility.

 

  • Variety of inductance ranges: from 0.33uH to 100uH
  • Package size from 5 x 5 mm to 12 x 12 mm
  • Up to 85A saturation, 53A rated / 0.33μH
  • Operation temp. -55°C to +155°C, up to +180°C in short time
  • Miniaturization: -50% space saving vs. ferrite inductor
  • Vibration resistance from 10G to 30G

With the ETQP series, Panasonic offers metal composite power inductors with best-in-class reliability and efficiency. The unique magnetic core material provides no hard saturation characteristics against DC bias current and allows for very low power loss and reduced DC resistance. It has a much higher energy density compared with ferrite inductors, which in turn leads to 30% to 50% smaller case sizes and therefore perfectly supports the ongoing trend of downsizing electronic systems with high current capabilities. In addition, the inductance value does not vary over temperature, which further helps to ease the development of electronic systems. Together with its high heat resistance, it is the perfect power inductor to guarantee the highest reliability in energy management systems.

LIGHT TOUCH & DETECTOR SWITCHES

For Detection of Cover Opening and HMI-Operation

A mechanical sliding spring design ensures consistent signal output.

  • Consistency in quality with simple structure
  • Long life
  • High accuracy: All parts are produced in-house, A mechanical full control over production process and quality management

When it comes to building automation systems, detector switches are mainly used in safety or security applications. One example is lid-opening detection: Unauthorized opening of housings can result in injuries because of high voltage or system failure. By detecting the opening, the system can switch off and shut down to avoid any accidential contact or manipulation. For physical user-interface applications, a large variety of tactile (light touch) switches is available. Each switch is engineered for low contact resistance, small bounce noise, high contact reliability and a sharp tactile feel.
