RS Components (RS) is stocking two new low Equivalent Series Resistance (ESRLow Equivalent Series Resistance) polymer capacitors from the Panasonic Industrial Devices range.
POSCAP and OS-CON offer reliable, efficient, long lifetime solutions for digital and telecommunications applications, and meet the growing demand for energy reduction in industrial equipment and automotive systems.
POSCAP is a solid chip capacitor with a sintered tantalum anodeAn electrodeA solid electric conductor through which an electric current enters or leaves in a medium through which current enters any nonmetallic conductor. and a highly conductive polymer cathodeThe negative electrodeA solid electric conductor through which an electric current enters or leaves in a medium of a capacitor.. Its low impedanceThe total opposition that a circuit offers to the flow of alternating current or any other varying current at a particular frequencyThe number of complete cycles or vibrations per unit of time. Rate of alternation in an AC current. Expressed in cycles per second or hertz (Hz).. It is a combination of resistance R and reactance X, measured in ohms. and low ESRLow Equivalent Series ResistanceLow Equivalent Series ResistanceLow Equivalent Series Resistance (down to 5 mΩ) enable excellent performance at high frequencyThe number of complete cycles or vibrations per unit of time.

Expressed in cycles per second or hertz (Hz). while maintaining a low profileLow profile (height) and a high capacitanceThat property of a system of conductors and dielectrics which permits the storage of electricity when potential difference exists between the conductors. Its value is expressed as the ratio of a quantity of electricity to a potential difference. A capacitance value is always positive. range.
The device offers excellent noise-absorption characteristics, and provides high heat resistance, spanning a wide temperature range of between -55°C and +125°C.
OS-CON is a solid aluminium capacitor containing highly conductive polymer electrolyte material. OS-CON offers low ESRLow Equivalent Series ResistanceLow Equivalent Series ResistanceLow Equivalent Series Resistance, excellent noise reduction capability and frequencyThe number of complete cycles or vibrations per unit of time. Rate of alternation in an AC current. Expressed in cycles per second or hertz (Hz). characteristics.
In addition, OS-CON has a long life span of up to 30 years, and can operate efficiently at even the lowest temperatures due to the solid electrolyte. OS-CON and POSCAP are suitable as a smoothing, backup and bypass capacitorAn alternative name for decouplingA decoupling capacitor is a capacitor used to decouple one part of an electrical network (circuit) from another. Noise caused by other circuit elements is shunted through the capacitor, reducing the effect they have on the rest of the circuit capacitor as it is used to bypass the power supply or other high impedanceThe total opposition that a circuit offers to the flow of alternating current or any other varying current at a particular frequencyThe number of complete cycles or vibrations per unit of time.
