Low-profile design for tantalum polymer capacitors
Epcos is now shipping polymer tantalum capacitors in case size X, measuring only 1.5 mm high, 7.3 mm long and 4.3 mm wide.
Offering high reliability and available at an extremely attractive price, the series has a voltage range between 130 and 320V RMS for overvoltage protection in line voltage applications.
The Energeti Q series is split into Q14 and Q20 varistors.
The Q14 range, with dimensions of 14 x 14mm, offer a surge current rating of 8kA (8/20ms), while the Q20 model (20mm) offers a surge current rating of 15kA (8/20ms).
The series, which forms part of the Epcos range of SIOV metal oxide varistors, provides a wide operating temperature range of between -40 and +85C and an insulation resistance of 1.0Gohm.
With tinned copper wire terminals, the varistors are epoxy resin coated, which is flame-retardant to UL94V0.
The series is UL, CSA and CECC approved.
