NIC Components has introduced a range of flat chip surface mount solid aluminium electrolytic capacitors. The NPC series offers low impedance and low ESR at high frequencies, plus high ripple current ratings at 105ºC. Parts are available with rated capacitances between 47µF and 330µF and working voltages of 2VDC to 6.3VDC.

The new range features a fused construction for greater safety and is compatible with EIA (7343) ‘D’ land patterns. Overall case dimensions are 7.3mm x 4.3mm, with case heights ranging between 1.9mm to 2.9mm. The NPC series is fully RoHS compliant, includes gold termination plating and is compatible with Pb-free reflow soldering processes. The operating temperature range of –55ºC to +105ºC makes the NPC series suitable for applications in harsh and difficult environments.
