Recent growth in various industries and increasing raw material costs has led to a void in supply for a variety of passive components, with the most severe shortage being Ceramic Capacitors. With an increased demand for passive components from the automotive, consumer, and IoT sectors, finding the right product readily available is becoming increasingly difficult.
As a solution, we have created a list of several capacitor families from Panasonic that are alternatives to classic multilayer ceramic capacitors.
The Surface mount, SP-Cap™ family from Panasonic is a conductive polymer aluminum electrolytic capacitor family that boasts several sub-series. The SP-Cap™ EEF-LX Series features low ESR and ESL specifications and boast large capacitance configurations.
