Niobium Oxide for Automotive

Niobium Oxide based solid electrolytic capacitors well suits applications where high reliability, long life and high safety is of primary focus – such as automotive, civil aircraft on board equipment or long operation life industrial devices.

OxiCap® products for these applications offer extremely stable and robust performance, high reliability down to 0.2%/1000hrs at 85°C. Products are up to 125°C or 105°C category temperatures (ref series specification), environmentally friendly and RoHS compliant technology, lead free terminations on SMD designs, same as conventional Tantalum case size, very safe non-burning high resistance failure mode are ideal for all such circuits where maximum 10 rated voltage capacitors are applicable. Series focused to meet AEC-Q200 requirements.

Elektra Award received in 2005 for Product of the Year in Passive Components category.
