NIC Components has introduced a new range of SMT Capacitors designed to provide memory back-up under power failure conditions.The NEXC series offers the ability to conventionally mount this V-chip style device. NIC also offers five series of leaded parts for through-hole applications providing a breadth of range to address most applications. On-board memory has become a key feature of many pieces of electronic equipment. This has created a need for reliable, small form-factor power back-up to ensure retention of data in situations where power is lost or interrupted. The surface mountable V-chip style NEXC series has a double layer construction and is housed in low-profile cases. Capacitance values range from 0.047F to 1.0F and rated voltages are 3.5VDC and 5.5VDC. Operating temperature range is –25ºC to +70ºC, and a lead-free RoHS compliant finish is offered as standard.

Solutions to memory back-up are provided by the NEXA, NEXG, NEXM, NEXT and NEXS series. The ranges are offered with a wide choice of capacitance values between 0.01F and 5.6F, and voltage values between 3.5VDC to 12VDC. All have a double layer construction and meet RoHS requirements. Operating temperature range for the NEXA, NEXG, NEXM and NEXS series is –25ºC to +70ºC. The NEXT series is suitable for use between –40ºC and +85ºC.
