Choosing the right film capacitor is easy in just a few steps



CLARA is designed to provide an intuitive, search-oriented simulation tool for TDK and EPCOS film capacitor selection. Circuit designers can easily find products that fit their application conditions with just a few clicks of the mouse. CLARA can not only compare the specifications and performance of different products, but also easily simulate the application of products under specific working conditions. In addition, CLARA provides the function of recording personal notes while searching, and the search results contain links that directly point to the TDK product center, making it convenient for users to request samples or inquire about products.



Note:

*Life expectancy is an estimate. If any of the conditions given are beyond the rated rating of the product or if reliability/lifetime values ​​are not given in the respective product datasheet, then the life expectancy is not given in the tool.

Use of CLARA is subject to the terms and conditions of the License Agreement*.

When you use CLARA, functional cookies necessary for the program to run will be stored on your computer, tablet, smartphone and other devices. For more details, please see "Use of Cookies" * .

Precise search techniques

  • Add constraints such as ranges, tolerances, and dimensions



Simulate by product model

There are two options:

  • Method 1

In simple search mode, enter the product model (no need for the full model number) and select the target model from the list

Then select the application and service life simulation

  • Method 2

Select application and service life simulation directly from the CLARA homepage

Enter the product model (at least 11 digits) and select the target model from the list.
