Ultra Durable 2 -Designed with Top Quality Highly Efficient
Components
Ultra Cooling - Low RDS(on) MOSFET Design
Low RDS(on) MOSFETs specially designed to produce lower switching
resistance for faster electric current charging and discharging.
Low Power Loss - Ferrite Core Choke Design
Ferrite core chokes comprised of a compound of iron oxide
and other metal elements whose properties hold energy much
longer than common iron core at high frequency.
Longer Life - All-Solid Capacitor Design
Solid capacitors contain a solid organic polymer, while electrolytic
capacitors use a common liquid electrolyte, hence, the terms
solid capacitor versus electrolytic capacitors.
