The SE4 is a new type of hi-rel surface-mount film capacitor with reliability that is comparable to MIL-PFR-55514. It was developed to meet the "next generation" challenges facing the electronic
industry. The SE4 is an ideal replacement for un-encapsulated PPS, polyester and ceramic capacitors. It has the ability to withstand solder re-flow to 260 and has capabilities to operate at +125
without showing any signs of degrading by solder process.
Other performance characteristics include voltages to 200 VDC, DV/DT as high as 217 v/us in a compact case, which allows for miniaturization and/or increased pcb density.
What makes this all possible is a unique
design and assembly combined with the total encapsulation.This ensures operational integrity and long service life.It also protects from humidity (as high as 90%), flux removing solvents as well as
other hostile atmospheres.
Two styles of lead frame configurations are offered. The "Gull Wing" style lends itself to visual inspection. The "J" style is ideal for pcb space utilization.
With the introduction of the SE4, the circuit designer has a surface mount polyester power supply capacitor that incorporates a unique combination of capabilities to increase circuit performance.
Production and overall system cost savings can also be realized.
