THE VERY LATEST RUBYCON NEWS ON THE KXF SERIES

KXF SERIES - FURTHER MINIATURIZATION WITHIN THE LOW-PROFILE SEGMENT

RUBYCON developed the KXF series of snap-in elcaps especially for applications with limited above-board height. At a height of 20mm, the series can help designers avoid time consuming assembly steps, such as the bending of radial electrolytic capacitors. Compared to the existing RUBYCON low-profile snap-in series (AXF), the new KXF series offers 30% less volume.

With the ability to reduce the diameter, designers thus have increased board space available, while higher capacitance values are an added benefit. And, despite the reduced size, the KXF series maintains the same high permissible ripple current.

OVERVIEW OF KEY KXF CHARACTERISTICS:
-Rated Voltage Range: 160V to 450V
-Capacitance Range: 39µF to 820µF
-Dimensions: 20x20mm to 35x20mm
-Temperature Range: -25°C to +105°C
-Service Life (guaranteed): 3,000h at 105°C
