Type UNL Metallized PP APPLICATION TARGETS

• Inverters Input Filtering where high
  reliability, high ripple current caps required
  DC Link.
• RF Amplifiers (Inverters used in semiconductor
  processing equipment, MRI Imaging)
• Alternative Energy Inverters (Fuel Cell, Solar /
  PV, Wind)
• Power Backup (Inverters used in UPS, SMPS,
  Flywheel Storage)
• Electric Vehicle Inverters (fork lifts, trains,
  electric carts)
• Motor Drive Inverters (Elevators, motor
  controllers)
• Welding inverter
• Resonant Tank Circuits Induction Heating
  Equipment

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

9
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 PPWorking 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

11
Type UNL Metallized PPCOMPETITION

• 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.
