AVX Corp.: Medium-Power Capacitor Series (posted 10/20/09)

AVX Corp. has developed a medium-power capacitor series that reportedly features high-frequency operation with the lowest stray inductance of any product on the market. Designated the FFVS series, these medium-power capacitors are designed for applications that require high-frequency ripple (>100 kHz) DC filtering for induction heating and inductance of less than 10 nH on certain models.

“Due to the advanced design of this reliable power capacitor, we are able to provide the lowest stray inductance of any product on the market while permitting the conduction of ultra-high-frequency ripples,” said Larry Eisenberger, product manager. “The rugged FFVS series capacitors are ideal in applications where standard devices typically fail as a result of the high-frequency ripple currents experienced.”

The series includes voltage ranges from 600 V (with available capacitance ratings of 22, 90, 140 and 195 µF) to 1900 V (with available capacitance ratings of 14, 22 and 32 µF). The FFVS series capacitors are reliable and offer an extended operating life due to the dry polypropylene dielectric technology feature. Typical applications include wind power, solar power, hybrid vehicles and medical power supplies used in X-ray, CT-scan, MRI and nuclear imaging equipment.
