VISHAY 101 PHR-ST Series Screw Terminal Electrolytic Capacitor, 15000 µF, ± 20% - 63

The VISHAY 101 PHR-ST Series Screw Terminal Electrolytic Capacitor is a high-performance passive component engineered for robust, long-term operation in demanding power and filtering circuits. Constructed for stability and reliability, this polar aluminium electrolytic capacitor features a rugged screw terminal design, ensuring secure and low-resistance connections essential for handling high ripple currents and maintaining circuit integrity over an extended lifetime.

With a substantial capacitance of 15000 µF and a ± 20% tolerance, it is ideally suited for applications requiring substantial energy storage and voltage smoothing, such as in DC link circuits for motor drives, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and industrial power conversion equipment. Its 63V DC rating provides a reliable voltage margin for operation in standard industrial power rails.

A key specification is its impressive rated lifetime of 10000 hours at a maximum operating temperature of 85°C, making it a dependable choice for systems designed for continuous, high-temperature operation. This is supported by a low Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) of just 0.016 ohm and a high ripple current rating of 9.7A, which together ensure efficient performance with minimal self-heating and power loss, contributing to the overall longevity and efficiency of the host system.

Its compact physical form factor is designed for straightforward mounting, and the screw terminals offer superior mechanical strength compared to traditional leaded designs, making it resistant to vibration and mechanical stress. This capacitor is a core component for engineers and technicians building or maintaining industrial-grade electronic power systems where durability, performance, and operational life are non-negotiable.
