Vishay Intertechnology Upgrades 193 PUR-SI Solar Series of Snap-in Power Aluminum Capacitors With Higher Voltage Ratings
Lowering the Cost of Solar PV Inverters, Devices Feature Rated Voltage to 570 V at +60 °C, Category Voltage of 475 V at +105 °C, and Open-Circuit Voltage Up to 600 V
MALVERN, Pa. — Aug. 15, 2022 — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today announced that it has upgraded the Vishay BCcomponents 193 PUR-SI Solar series of snap-in power aluminum capacitors with a higher rated voltage of 570 V and a category voltage of 475 V. Targeted at solar applications, the devices offer operation up to 600 V at specific conditions, long useful life, and high rated ripple current up to 2.46 A at +105 °C and 100 Hz.
Featuring a cylindrical aluminum case with a pressure relief valve, insulated with a blue sleeve, 193 PUR-SI Solar series capacitors are available in five case sizes ranging from 35 mm by 30 mm to 35 mm by 60 mm. As polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitors with a non-solid electrolyte, the RoHS-compliant devices are ideally suited for DC-Link buffering and filtering applications. In addition to solar PV inverters, typical end products will include industrial motor controls and power supplies.
