TS10 Polystyrene Film Capacitors – End of Production Notice and Design Migration Guidance

Overview

The TS10 polystyrene film capacitor series will be discontinued from October.
Due to limited application scope and higher production cost, future development will focus on polyester and polypropylene film capacitor technologies.

Product Status

• TS10 series scheduled for end of production
• Orders accepted prior to the discontinuation date
• Not recommended for new design-in

Application Considerations

Polystyrene film capacitors are typically used in specialized circuits where specific dielectric characteristics are required.
With the discontinuation of the TS10 series, alternative film capacitor types should be evaluated during new product development.

Design Migration Guidance

• Avoid specifying TS10 in new designs
• Review existing BOM for lifecycle planning
• Evaluate polyester and polypropylene film capacitors as replacement options
• Verify electrical and mechanical compatibility during substitution

Supply Planning

Customers requiring TS10 for ongoing production should place final orders before the discontinuation date and consider last-time-buy planning based on product lifecycle requirements.

Conclusion

The TS10 series discontinuation reflects a transition toward film capacitor technologies with broader application coverage and production scalability.
Design migration and supply planning are recommended for existing applications.
