On 18^th April 2024, KYOCERA AVX, a prominent global manufacturer specializing in cutting-edge electronic components geared towards driving technological advancement and contributing to a more promising future, introduced two new lines of snap-in aluminum electrolytic capacitors: the SNA Series and SNL Series. Renowned for their high reliability, elevated voltage capacity, and superior performance over extended lifespans, both the SNA and SNL Series capacitors were compatible with lead-free applications and compliant with RoHS standards. Designed to withstand temperatures ranging from -25°C to +105°C, these capacitors found optimal utilization across various commercial and industrial sectors, including frequency converters, solar inverters, power inverters, energy storage systems, and power supplies.

The SNA Series snap-in aluminum electrolytic capacitors showcased remarkable ripple current capabilities, ensuring prolonged performance endurance of 5,000 hours at 105°C. Upon introduction, they were available across three rated voltages (250, 420, and 450VDC), featuring 24 case sizes ranging from 22mm x 25mm to 35mm x 50mm (D x L), and capacitance values spanning from 82µF to 1,500µF ±20%.

Likewise, the SNL Series snap-in aluminum electrolytic capacitors demonstrated endurance of 3,000 hours at 105°C. Upon launch, they were offered in eight rated voltages (160, 200, 250, 350, 400, 450, 500, and 550VDC), with 36 case sizes ranging from 22mm x 20mm to 35mm x 60mm (D x L), and capacitance values ranging from 68µF to 2,200µF ±20%.

Mack Cartagena, a Staff Research Development Engineer at KYOCERA AVX, expressed enthusiasm regarding the debut of the new SNA and SNL Series snap-in aluminum electrolytic capacitors. He emphasized their suitability for diverse commercial, industrial, and high-reliability applications. Both series featured fully insulated cases with polarity markings for straightforward snap-in installation, along with safety vents for reliable overload protection. Lead-times for the new SNA and SNL Series snap-in aluminum electrolytic capacitors were stated to be 20–24 weeks, and they were shipped in bulk packaging.
