Panasonic announces their EEH-ZE series conductive polymer hybrid aluminum SMD electrolytic capacitors. Panasonic hybrid capacitors, combining the advantages of electrolytic capacitors with those of solid polymer capacitors, have established themselves as reliant and across-the-board solutions in automotive and industrial applications alike.

The EEH-ZE series (Type V-ZE) hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitors are ultra-high temperature capacitors that have an endurance of 2,000 hours at +145°C. These surface-mount conductive polymer hybrid components offer a nominal capacitance range of 33 µF up to 330 µF at voltage ranges from 25 V_DC up to 63 V_DC and feature an operating temperature range of -55°C up to +145°C, as well as low ESR and high ripple current. The products are AEC-Q200 compliant, can endure high humidity conditions rated at +85°C / 90% - 2,000 h while offering tiered ripple current ratings at +135°C and +145°C. The EEH-ZE series features one of the highest endurance ratings in the industry allows 2,000 hours at +145°C and 4,000 hours at +135°C. AEC-Q200 qualification ensures optimal quality and reliability. Panasonic's hybrid capacitors are ideal for a broad spectrum of applications including input/output filtering in power converters and voltage regulators, power and battery decoupling, and clock circuitry. Their endurance and low ESR makes them ideal for use in automotive applications, servers, base stations, and industrial PCs, yet they are small enough for wireless and IoT designs.
