February 27, 2009 Product news Extension of the MKT series B3252* To further increase the competitiveness of the standard MKT series B3252*, EPCOS has introduced the following changes: Miniaturization of existing capacitance values (B3252xE*) Extension with additional capacitance values in lead spacing (LS) 22.5 and 27.5 Extension of product range in LS 37.5 (B3252xR*) The newly added film capacitors in LS 22.5, 27.5 and 37.5 are fully competitive with the R60 and JSP series from Kemet and MKS4 from WIMA in all the following points: Dimensions (at least equal, often smaller) Electrical data (equivalent) Capacity range (at least equal, often with more capacitance values) Applications of these large MKT capacitors include: High-end consumer products, as replacement of aluminum electrolytic capacitors (e.g. in vacuum cleaners) DC-link for hybrid and electrical vehicles (e.g. fork-lift trucks) Power supply for base stations All capacitors with the new capacitance values are already available as serial products.
