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 PP Working 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 PP COMPETITION 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.
