TDK Capacitor Life & Rating Application (CLARA) Tool

More About TDK

TDK Capacitor Life and Rating Application (CLARA) Tool is an intuitive search-oriented simulation tool for TDK and EPCOS film capacitors. The tool helps designers find the most desirable products for application conditions in just a few clicks. The conditions can be simulated easily within the design tool, and the tool allows designers to include personal notes during a search. TDK CLARA Tool also offers part characteristics and a part comparison to help find the right capacitor for an application.
