Kemet: New PEx227 and PEx228 Aluminum Electrolytic capacitor series with New 80V Options for 48V Automotive and Industrial Systems
Files
Our partner Kemet, a YAGEO Group company recently announced the expansion of their PEx227 and PEx228 aluminum-electrolytic capacitor series to include new 80 V variants — a response to the growing demands of 48 V automotive and industrial power systems. This expansion covers several subfamilies (e.g. PES, PEV, PEB, PEG, PEH), providing designers with a broader voltage range to meet modern system requirements.
The new 80V addition bridges the voltage gap between existing 63V and 100V ranges, delivering a balanced solution that combines high capacitance, low ESR, and proven AEC-Q200 reliability up to +150°C. This enhancement ensures stable operation under severe thermal and vibration conditions, supporting applications such as DC-Link filtering, smoothing, decoupling, and power conversion in environments where performance and endurance are paramount.
