STORAGE LIFE of HYBRID CAPACITORS

Evans Tantalum Hybrid Capacitors have unlimited storage life due to the following factors. Evans Hybrid Capacitors use Tantalum Pentoxide anodes and Ruthenium Oxide cathodes. These electrodes are ch...

MTBF of Hybrid Capacitors

All Hybrid Capacitors use Tantalum pentoxide anodes and Ruthenium Oxide cathodes with wet electrolyte. This design has been proven in over 15 years of field service and numerous customer application...

Life Calculation+Technical Analysis

Potentiostatically charged Hybrid capacitors age predictably by a mechanism involving electrochemical reactions that reduce the efficiency of the cathode and consume electrolyte. One of these reacti...

The Capacitors with the Highest Available Power Density in Medium Voltage Range

Tantalum Hybrid capacitors take advantage of the best features of electrolytic and electrochemical capacitors. They combine an anode from an electrolytic capacitor, a cathode from an electrochemical...
