Type UNL Metallized PP 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 PPWorking 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 PPCOMPETITION

• 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.
