Richardson RFPD Introduces High Reliability DC Link Power Film Capacitors
from Spectrum Advanced Specialty Products
|
February 22, 2012 Press Release
- Ideal for Power Inverter Applications Requiring Superior
Life Expectancy Under Harsh Operating Conditions

February
22, 2012 – La Fox, Illinois: Richardson RFPD, Inc. today announces immediate
availability and full design support capabilities for a line of high
reliability
DC link power film capacitors from Spectrum Advanced Specialty Products
("Spectrum"). The
55DC Link Series is ideally suited for power inverter applications
which require superior life expectancy under the harsh operating conditions
of wind and photovoltaic installations. The capacitors utilize segmented,
self-healing metallized polypropylene for a life expectancy greater
than 100,000 hours and feature high capacitance density and ripple current
capabilities that make them an ideal replacement for electrolytic capacitors.
They offer low Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) and Equivalent Series
Inductance (ESL), are compact and cost effective, and are tested to
the environmental specifications of MIL-STD-202.
Key features of the
55DC Link Series include:
- Capacitance Range: 160 μF to 680 μF standard (others available
upon request)
- Capacitance Tolerance: +/- 10% standard
- Rated Voltage: 900 to 1300 VDC
- Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to +85°C standard (+105°C
upon special request)
- Test Voltage Between Terminals: 150% rated voltage for 10 sec
- Test Voltage Between Terminals and Housing: 5kVDC for 10 sec
- Enclosure/Construction: aluminum housing, brass terminals with
dry resin, UL 94V-0 encapsulant
- RoHS Compliant
Custom, application-specific designs are welcome, with a variety of
terminations and specifications available. Spectrum

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...
