Electrolytics last longer at high
voltages
NRE-WB aluminium electrolytic capacitors are ideal for use in electronic ballasts for fluorescent lighting and other high-voltage applications that require high-temperature long-life performance.
Reduced case size NRE-WB aluminium electrolytic capacitors from NIC Components Europe are ideal for use in electronic ballasts for fluorescent lighting and other high voltage applications that require elevated temperature, extended load life performance The greater efficiency of fluorescent lighting - which is able to convert approximately 25% of its energy to light versus just 5% achieved by filament lighting - coupled with an ongoing drive towards greater efficiency, has created a large and growing market for electronic lighting ballasts

Capacitor arrays have reduced trace distances
Now available from NIC Components, a range of 0805 size ceramic chip capacitor arrays that feature reduced trace distance, improving performance for high-speed applications.
NRE-WB miniature radial leaded devices have a high ripple current rating of up to 2.0A (100kHz, +105C), and are available with capacitance values from 10 to 220uF and voltage ratings of between 200 and 450V DC.
Extended load-life of up to 10,000 hours at high temperature makes NRE-WB capacitors suitable for applications where the replacement of worn components is difficult and cost prohibitive.
A wide operating temperature range of -25 to +105C enables the new capacitor series to give stable, reliable performance in applications where high temperatures are present such as fluorescent lighting or in densely packed high voltage power supplies.
Case sizes range from 10 x 20 to 18 x 31.5mm depending on rated voltage and capacitance value.
