The PS series is a radial lead miniature series of aluminum capacitors that uses a solid functional
polymer as the electrolyte. This durable solid capacitor design allows more stable performance and
higher reliability over the expected lifetime than normal liquid electrolyte capacitors. The PS series
features large capacitance, ultra low ESR, high ripple current capability, and lead-free construction
that can withstand the harsh environment of lead-free alloy soldering. The PS capacitors are suitable
for DC-DC converters, voltage regulators, and decoupling applications for computer motherboards.
The PS series has been upgraded to include new 20 and 25 volt models which are recommended as
cost-effective replacements for OS-CON
TM
capacitors.
The PS series capacitors are solvent proof. Refer to the Mini-Glossary for cleaning guidelines and
recommended cleaning agents that are compatible with United Chemi-Con products.
