This new series of miniature switchmode power supply filter capacitors uses BME (Base Metal Electrode) construction to achieve 300-400% capacitance increases and component size reductions compared to their PME (Precious Metal Electrode) counterparts per the examples below.
BME Size / Capacitance Comparison
Technology | Chips | Volts | Max. Cap. |
|---|---|---|---|
PME | 1x 1825 | 50V | 1.2μF |
BME | 1x 1812 | 50V | 4.7μF |
PME | 2x 2225 | 100V | 4.4μF |
BME | 2x 2220 | 100V | 22μF |
