Summary of Surface Mount Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors NACY Series Datasheet

The Surface Mount Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors NACY Series datasheet describes a range of capacitors designed for surface mounting with a cylindrical V-Chip construction. These capacitors are distinguished by their low impedance at 100KHz, which is up to 20% lower than the NACZ series capacitors. With an RoHS compliance, indicating that the capacitors are free of certain hazardous materials, they are also suitable for use in environmentally-conscious applications.

The NACY series capacitors offer a wide operating temperature range from -55°C to +105°C, making them capable of performing in various thermal environments. Capacitance values range from 2.2 µF to 6800 µF with a tolerance of ±20% (measured at 120Hz/+20°C). They are engineered to facilitate automatic mounting and are suitable for reflow soldering processes. Notably, certain models in the series meet the requirements of AEC-Q200, an automotive industry quality standard, however, interested parties are encouraged to contact NIC for supporting test data.

The maximum leakage current after two minutes at 20°C is rated at 0.01CV or 3 µA, whichever is greater, where ‘C’ is the capacitance in µF and ‘V’ is the rated voltage in VDC. The capacitors also feature anti-vibration terminations for enhanced durability.

In terms of performance after exposure to high temperatures, the NACY series capacitors are tested for load life at 105°C. Capacitance change is maintained within +25% of the initial measured value, where smaller capacitors with a 6.3mm diameter are tested up to 1,000 hours, and larger ones with a 12.5mm diameter are tested for up to 2,000 hours. They also retain tan δ (dissipation factor) to less than 200% of their specified value and maintain leakage current below the specified maximum.

The datasheet further details the available standard product sizes and case codes which are listed along with corresponding working voltages, capacitance, and physical dimensions (diameter x length in mm). This level of detail allows users to precisely identify the capacitor that meets their requirements regarding both electrical characteristics and physical footprint.

Furthermore, the datasheet highlights the NACY series’ low temperature stability by showcasing the impedance ratio at 120 Hz when comparing measurements taken at +20°C to those taken at sub-zero temperatures (-40°C and -55°C).

For additional reference, NIC Components Corp’s relevant websites are provided, such as lowESR.com and SMTmagnetics.com, suggesting that these capacitors are specifically targeted towards applications requiring low Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) and surface mount technology (SMT) compatibilities. It is also noted that the specifications in the datasheet are subject to change.
