APPLICATION TARGETS
• Inverters: Input Filtering where high reliability, high ripple current
caps required – DC Link.
– RF Amplifiers: (Inverters used in semiconductor processing
equipment, MRI Imaging)
– Alternative Energy Inverters: (Fuel Cell, Solar / PV, Wind)
– Power Backup: (Inverters used in UPS, SMPS, Flywheel
Storage)
– Electric Vehicle Inverters: (fork lifts, trains, electric carts)
– Motor Drive Inverters: (Elevators, motor controllers)
– Welding inverter
• Resonant Tank Circuits: Induction Heating Equipment

UNL Series Film Capacitor
Snapmount Alternative?
• Not a one (UNL) for one
(snap-in) replacement.
• Does customer have
more capacitance than
required just to handle
the ripple?
• Is there a need for high
reliability, long life?
• Is customer currently
using caps in series to
handle the bus voltage?
• Benefits of UNL Vs
Snap-ins

–
Higher Voltage 3x
Self healing
Up to 10x ripple current
Longer Life 20 x
Non polar
No electrolyte
More stable with temp.
10+ yr. shelf life
UNL Series Film Capacitor
Snapmount Alternative?
• Where high reliability and high current are key
requirements.
Eg: UNL6W30K designed into an MRI gradient
amplifier
• Replaced 3 snapmount capacitors with 1 UNL.
– Business currently exceeds $300K annually through
distribution.
• Benefits to customer
– Reduced Component count from from 324 snap-ins
per system to 108.
» Smaller Size
– Longer life, more reliable film technology
– Lowered manufacturing costs
Type UNL Metallized PP
Working Design Opportunities
Induction Heating
• Designed into an induction heater application
for Paper Drying. $45K through REL
– Replaced Electronic Concepts.
– One capacitor per device
– Used for its high ripple capability
Alternative Energy
• Solar Power Inverter, Canada
– Currently using up to 25,000 pcs per year of
Electronic Concepts.
– Two in series for 1200 V bus
Type UNL Metallized PP
COMPETITION
• Electronic Concepts - “Unlytic”- UP36 &
UP37 Series.
– Strength: They are present at all the major
inverter accounts.
– Weakness: Higher cost and quality issues
have opened the door for us at several
accounts.
Type UNL New Product Launch
