Category: Capacitors, Electronics, Rubycon America Inc

Overview

Rubycon’s SGV Series CHIP ALUMINUM ELECTROLYTIC CAPACITORS are designed to offer reliable performance in various electronic applications, with a feature set that includes a long operational lifespan and suitability for high-density mounting. The series facilitates lead-free reflow soldering and adheres to RoHS compliance, demonstrating its commitment to environmental standards.

Key Specifications

These capacitors operate efficiently across a wide range of temperatures and voltages:

Category Temperature Range spans from -55°C to +105°C, with operating life assessed particularly in the 40°C to 105°C range.
Rated Voltage Range is broad, starting at 6.3V DC and extending up to 400V DC.
Capacitance Tolerance is set at ±20% at 20°C, 120Hz.

Electrical Characteristics

The Leakage Current, a crucial metric for capacitor performance, is specified for a range of rated voltages, with a maximum leakage current detailed for each voltage level.

The Dissipation Factor (also known as tanδ) is outlined, with maximum values given depending on the case size and rated capacitance, ensuring that the energy loss within the capacitor remains controlled.

Performance and Reliability

Endurance is a vital feature of the SGV Series, with capacitors designed to withstand a specified ripple current at 105°C for durations from 2000 to 5000 hours, depending on the rated voltage.

Following this endurance test, the capacitors are expected to maintain:

Capacitance Change within +25% of the initial value.
Dissipation Factor not exceeding 200% of the specified initial value.
Leakage Current not surpassing the specified value.

Low Temperature Performance and Ripple Current Multipliers

The SGV Series capacitors are tested for their stability at low temperatures, gauged by an Impedance Ratio with set maximum values. These details guarantee functionality in a range of thermal environments.

Additionally, the datasheet outlines multipliers for adjusting the permissible ripple current based on the frequency, ensuring these components can accommodate various operational demands.

Product Identification and Ordering

Each capacitor within the SGV Series is marked for easy identification, featuring the series name, lot number, capacitance value, and rated voltage. This marking system streamlines the process of verification and quality control.

The part numbering system includes a series code (SGV), rated voltage, case size (DxL), capacitance value, and any additional options that may be specified.
