characterized with very high capacitance in a small volume.
By vertical stacking of the ceramic elements, the footprint
required for mounting the capacitors is greatly reduced.
TurboCaps
TM
are ideally suited as filters in the input and
output stages of switch mode power supplies (SMPS). With
their ultra-low ESR, these capacitors are designed to handle
high ripple current at high frequencies and high power levels.
The DIP leads in either thru-hole or surface mount
configurations offer superior stress relief to the ceramic
elements. The leads effectively decouple the parts from the
board and minimize thermally or mechanically induced
stresses encountered during assembly, temperature cycling
or other environmental conditions.
