Alchip-MVL series aluminium surface-mount electrolytic capacitors are manufactured by Nippon Chemi-Con and available from exclusive agent, Young-ECC.

The series is aimed at applications that require long-life operation, such as in equipment that runs continuously and in industrial machinery and controls.

Rated voltage is 6.3 to 50V DC with nominal capacitance values from 0.1 to 1000uF.

The capacitors feature a load life at 105C of 3000 to 5000h.

Surface mount cases for the series range in size from 4mm diameter and 5.7mm high to 10mm diameter by 10mm high.

The capacitors have a rated ripple current at 105C, 120Hz ranging from 1.0mA RMS at 0.1uF, 50V through to 313mA RMS at 1000uF, 6.3V.

Suitable for high-temperature operation, the capacitors are rated for operation over -40 to +105C and are designed to vent gas in case of overheating.

MVL capacitor cases are solvent proof for SMT cleaning.
