A new series of Vishay Intertechnology BC Components miniature snap-in power aluminum electrolytic capacitors is now available from New Yorker Electronics. The new Vishay snap-in power aluminum capacitors enable higher power density designs, and the 257 PRM-SI series offers up to 20% higher ripple current than previous-generation solutions in case sizes that are up to 20% smaller while providing longer useful life to

With ripple currents up to 5.05 A, the devices released by New Yorker Electronics allow designers to utilize fewer components to save board space and lower costs. Featuring a cylindrical aluminum case and insulated with a blue sleeve, Vishay 257 PRM-SI capacitors feature rated voltages to 500 V in 25 compact case sizes ranging from 22 mm x 25 mm to 35 mm x 60 mm. The RoHS-compliant devices are also available with 3-pin keyed polarity snap-in terminals.
These polarized aluminum electrolytic snap-in capacitors with non-solid electrolyte are ideally suited for smoothing, buffering and DC-Link filtering in switch mode power supplies used in medical, consumer welding, and test and measurement equipment, in addition to general industrial control and audio/video system applications.
New Yorker Electronics is a franchise distributor for Vishay and supplies its full line of discrete semiconductors (diodes, MOSFETs and infrared optoelectronics) and passive electronic components (resistors, inductors and capacitors).
