Suitable for use in isolated power supplies for inverter circuitry, the working voltage of the NX series of screw terminal electrolytic capacitors has been extended from 550 to 630V.

Suitable for use in isolated power supplies for inverter circuitry, the working voltage of the NX series of screw terminal electrolytic capacitors has been extended from 550 to 630V.

This has increased the range of capacitors available in this series by 10% plus the size range up to 100 x 250mm.

High ripple current is a feature of the NX series, the maximum ripple being 47A RMS (standard ripple 42A).

High reliability is a result of the capacitors' long life of 20kh at +85C (160kh at +55C).

Capacitance range is 1000 to 27000uF, and tolerance is +/-20%.

The NX series of electrolytic capacitors are available with flame-retardant electrolyte and bushes that provide enhanced vibration and insulation.
