It is available with a rated voltage 25 to 35V DC / 220 560µF and an 80% increase in ripple current capability compared to the ZC series, says the company. The ZTU has been proven for 4000 hours at 125°C and 135°C for applications where high temperature tolerance and high current capability is required.

Suitable applications are in DC/DC or AC/DC inverters, robotics, rectifier circuits as well as automotive applications where conditions are harsh and demanding.

The company also offers a vibration-proof version in both 8.0 and 10mm diameter versions. They are able to handle shocks of up to 30G, while the standard parts have a vibration tolerance of 10G.

According to Panasonic Industry Europe’s Hirofumi Maruyama: “The ZTU series is setting new standards with its ripple current and capacitance specs and reliably guarantees circuit safety at one of the highest temperature ranges currently available on the market”.
