Panasonic offers small capacitor with big values

Panasonic – New FKS series

This is a significant reduction in can size on previous capacitors, said the supplier.

The FKS series offers increased capacitance values than previous products.

For example, the new 25V 33µF FKS capacitor, which comes in a 4×5.8mm can size, uses just 62% of the space of the supplier’s previous FK series parts.

Dr. Martina Ciacchi, head of Panasonic capacitor team in Europe: “The FKS series also features a price decrease of about 10% when compared to an FK product with the same capacitance value. ”

Panasonic is offering 25 new part numbers in the FKS series aluminium electrolytic capacitor family this quarter, in voltage classes between 6.3V and 50V and  capacitance range from 33µF to 1800µF.

Can sizes vary from 4×5.8mm to 10×10.2mm.

Most likely applications include industrial automation, automotive, power management, audio and white goods.
