Panasonic’s SVPC Series of OS-CON™ Aluminum-Polymer Solid Capacitors come in both Surface Mount and Through-Hole variants. These capacitors are versatile, covering a voltage range from 2.5 VDC to 16 VDC, with capacitance values spanning from 39 µF to 2700 µF. They exhibit a low equivalent series resistance (ESR) range from 9 mΩ to 35 mΩ. OS-CON capacitors play a major role in the optimization of solar inverters. To efficiently generate energy from the sun, the solar panel must absorb energy from the sun continuously as the earth rotates. By detecting and tracking the live position of the sun and adjusting the angles of the panel to ensure that it always faces the sun the solar energy harvest can be maximized. Due to its long lifespan and minimal ESR changes even in low temperatures, OS-CON is ideal for outdoor and surveillance camera applications.
Panasonic Industry’s solar inverters and EV charging systems additions are now available in EMEA, Newark in North America, and element14 in APAC.
