Electrolytic Capacitors target industrial applications.

TAIPEI, TAIWAN - October 12, 2009 - Yageo Corporation, a leading global passive components supplier, announced today the release of five new screw type Ecaps featuring extended product life and wide temperature range. Yageo's new screw type Ecaps are designed mainly for industrial applications, particularly suitable for use in heavy duty equipment including elevators, railways, welding machine, uninterruptible power supply systems and power adapters. Samples have been sent to major European customers with mass production underway. Yageo's new screw type Ecap comes in five product series including NP, NM, NF, NH and NG targeting respectively general purpose, wide temperature range, long life, high temperature and low-voltage high capacitance applications with superior working temperature from 85ºC to 105ºC and an increased lifespan from 2000 to 5000 hours.

Mr. Vincent Hu, President of Yageo Global Sales business group, said "Yageo has a solid customer base in Europe and our Ecaps are known for their reliability and stability. Backed by Yageo's latest innovation, we have, through an improved aluminum roll shape in the nucleus of electric capacitors, increased corrosion areas and enhanced capacitor efficiency. Ripple current tolerance can go up to 47 ampere. Introduction of the new screw type Ecaps has strengthened Yageo's one-stop-shop service in our pursuit of further business growth in the European market."

Yageo is poised to take advantage of its technology strength and diverse products rage combined with pricing edge to expand its European market presence and global leading position. In its effort to support customers need for dynamic applications, Yageo will continue to develop longer lifespan and wider temperature range Ecap products in the near future.
