Engineered for RF and microwave applications, the Suntan TS18Q Series MLCC delivers high Q performance, low ESR, and stable capacitance, making it an ideal solution for precision RF designs.

In PCB designs where space is limited and operating conditions are demanding, engineers face pressure to select components that balance compactness, thermal stability, and long-term reliability — all without increasing cost or complicating the assembly process.

Suntan’s TS13C Series SMD Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors are designed to address these needs, offering practical benefits that help engineering teams reduce risk, save board space, and improve production efficiency.

How TS13C Helps You Build Better Products

1. Save Board Space Without Sacrificing Voltage or Performance

TS13C is available in 12.5–16mm case sizes, with voltage ratings from 160V to 450V. This allows it to replace larger through-hole capacitors in tight spaces, enabling more compact or multifunctional product layouts — especially useful in:

• Power modules
• Lighting drivers
• Automation controllers

Your Benefit: Smaller footprint, same voltage — unlock room for more functions or smaller enclosures.

2. Withstand Harsh Conditions Over Time

Rated for +125°C operation and 5,000-hour load life at 105°C, TS13C offers a long service life even in thermally challenging environments such as industrial control cabinets or LED power systems.

Your Benefit: Lower replacement rates, fewer field failures, reduced maintenance cost.

3. Simplify Your SMT Production Line

TS13C supports reflow soldering, ensuring it can be assembled with your standard SMD process — no manual insertion or rework required.

Your Benefit: Shorter production cycles, consistent soldering quality, lower assembly cost.

4. Maintain Electrical Stability Under Load

With low ESR, stable capacitance, and ripple current ratings up to 320mA (at 120Hz), TS13C performs reliably under pulse load and voltage fluctuations — making it ideal for converters, inverters, and filtering circuits.

Your Benefit: Consistent output, better filtering, and fewer design adjustments needed during prototyping.

Typical Use Cases

Many of our clients apply TS13C in:

• AC-DC and DC-DC power supplies
• Motor drive boards
• Base station modules
• Embedded control systems

In each case, TS13C helps them stay within their size, temperature, and reliability requirements — while meeting cost targets.

Final Consideration: Lower Design Risk

When choosing capacitors for high-voltage or high-temp designs, mistakes can lead to redesigns, compliance failures, or unexpected costs. TS13C is built according to JIS C-5141/C-5102 standards and is RoHS and halogen-free compliant, giving your team confidence in both performance and documentation.
