Designed for use in power supplies, the SE-4 metallized polyester SMT capacitor withstands solder reflow to 260°C. The device provides a capacitance to 40.0 µF, and provides a dv/dt to 217 V/µs.

AVX has developed a low-profile tantalum solid electrolytic chip capacitor with a conductive polymer electrode that meets the “lead-free 3 × 260°C reflow” requirements. Designated the T case, TCJ ...

NIC Components' NACZ series of surface-mount electrolytic capacitors can now be exposed to a maximum soldering temperature of +255°C. The new temperature rating makes these devices more compatible ...

Discrete electronic components such as resistors, capacitors and even larger IC's are shrinking down smaller every year, and that makes it harder for the average home maker or hobbyist to create their ...

Reflow soldering – setting components on a PCB in blobs of solder paste and heating the whole assembly at once to melt all joints simultaneously – has been the subject of many ingenious hacks. Once it ...

As new energy vehicles (NEVs) integrate two-in-one on-board charger (OBC) and DC-DC converter systems, engineers face a persistent issue: capacitor leakage current drift after high-temperature reflow ...

In our previous issues in this series on making circuit boards, we covered placing solder paste and placing components. Now it’s time to bake our cake! There are a variety of methods for reflowing a ...
