VISHAY 056 PSM-SI Series Aluminium Electrolytic Capacitor, 3300 µF, 40V - 40

The VISHAY 056 PSM-SI Series is a high-performance, long-life miniature snap-in aluminium electrolytic capacitor designed for robust and demanding applications. Offering a substantial capacitance of 3300 µF at a 40V DC rating, this component is engineered for stability and endurance in a wide range of electronic circuits. With its low Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) of 0.067 ohm and high ripple current capability of 2.55A, it ensures efficient power delivery and minimal energy loss, making it ideal for smoothing and filtering operations where consistent performance is critical.

This capacitor features a polarized, non-solid electrolyte design within a cylindrical aluminium case, insulated with a distinctive blue sleeve for protection and identification. Its compact, snap-in terminals facilitate secure and straightforward mounting on printed circuit boards, with a standard 10mm lead spacing. The 056 PSM-SI Series is built to withstand challenging conditions, boasting an extended operational lifespan of 12,000 hours at a continuous high temperature of 85°C, alongside a broad operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. It is also designed to be charge and discharge proof, enhancing its reliability in systems with fluctuating power levels.

Primary Applications

This series is exceptionally versatile and is typically specified for general-purpose industrial equipment, audio/video systems, and power supply units. Its high capacitance and stability make it perfectly suited for smoothing and filtering in both standard and switched-mode power supplies (SMPS), as well as for energy storage in pulse discharge systems. The combination of long life, high ripple current handling, and proven durability under thermal stress makes it a dependable choice for engineers seeking a capacitor that balances performance with longevity in compact form factors.
