VISHAY 056 PSM-SI Series Electrolytic Capacitor, Long Life, Snap-In - 40

The VISHAY 056 PSM-SI Series is a high-performance, miniature snap-in aluminium electrolytic capacitor, engineered for demanding applications. Designed with a long operational life and superior reliability, it is an essential component for power management circuits requiring robust performance and durability.

This capacitor features a long useful life of 12,000 hours at a rated temperature of 85°C, supported by low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) for efficient operation. Its non-solid electrolyte and polarised aluminium construction are housed in a compact, cylindrical aluminium case with a distinctive blue insulating sleeve, offering both protection and easy visual identification.

Key Features and Benefits

• Extended Service Life: The 12,000-hour operational life at 85°C ensures long-term reliability and reduces the need for frequent replacements in critical systems.
• High Ripple Current Capability: Excellent performance in circuits with significant AC components, such as in power supply filtering and smoothing applications.
• Robust Construction: The charge and discharge proof design makes it suitable for pulse systems and other demanding environments where rapid energy transfer is required.
• Compact Miniature Design: The snap-in terminals and minimized footprint allow for space-efficient PCB (printed circuit board) mounting in densely packed assemblies.
• Broad Application Suitability: Its robust specifications make it a versatile choice for a wide range of industrial and commercial electronic systems.
