H-Chip Aluminum Polymer Capacitor

H-Chip Aluminum Polymer capacitors provide a low profile surface mount (SMT) package. The main advantage of this capacitor design is the extremely low ESR and ESL. This is the reason why H-Chips are the perfect solution for input and output capacitors of SMPS.
H-Chips are a suitable alternative for tantalum capacitors and MLCC´s. In comparison to tantalum capacitors, there is no voltage derating related to rated voltage necessary and they are not flammable.
Compared to MLCC´s, H-Chips do not have a DC-Bias behavior. Furthermore, H-Chips offer a more stable temperature performance compared to Class 2 ceramics (e..g. X7R / X5R) and have a long lifetime performance.
H-Chips will be available in four different product series:

• WCAP-PHGP: General Purpose
• WCAP-PHET: Extended Temperature 125 °C
• WCAP-PHLE: Low ESR
• WCAP-PHSE: Super Low ESR

The main characteristics are:

• Capacitance range:         15 µF up to 560 µF
• Rated Voltage:                 2 V(DC) up to 35 V(DC)
• Temperature range:        -55 °C up to 125 °C
• Endurance:                        1000 h up to 2000 h
• ESR:                                    3 mΩ up to 40 mΩ

H-Chip Aluminum Polymer Capacitors are typically used in the following applications:

• Input and output capacitors for SMPS
• Noise suppression
• DC/DC Converter
• Mainboards
• Telecommunication & base stations
• Server
