08 April 2015, Farnell element14 has introduced the containing solid conductive polymer instead of wet aluminium electrolytic, with ESR values below 10mΩ.

Available with price breaks on volume orders the series is the outcome of a general trend among aluminium capacitor manufacturers to develop new polymer alternatives that offer customers a variety of new options, i.e. higher permissible ripple current due to lower ESR at high frequencies, higher long-term stability and lifetime, and no drying-out issues.

With an operating temperature of -55 °C to +105/+125 °C and a load life of 2000 h @ +105 °C the series is available with next day delivery.
