“Vishay Intertechnology Inc. announced that it has added the RoHS-compliant 153 CRV series to its range of vertical SMD aluminum electrolytic capacitors. Devices in the 153 CRV series are compatible with Pb-free soldering processes and offer long useful operating life from 200,000 hours at 40°C, enabling designers to save space without sacrificing performance or reliability. The new capacitors are charge- and discharge-proof, and will withstand surge voltages up to 1.15 times rated voltage and reverse voltages up to 1V, all applied under IEC 60384-18 specifications. In addition, a vertical SMD construction ensures minimum board space.” Source: eetasia.com
