Aluminium electrolytic capacitors: Snap-in series with very high ripple current capability and longer useful life
TDK Corporation offers two new 105 °C snap-in series of EPCOS aluminium electrolytic capacitors with a very high ripple current capability and a longer useful life. The latter is 5000 h for the B43545 series. These capacitors are available with rated voltages of 400 V DC and 450 V DC as well as capacitances of 82 µF to 820 µF.
The The thermal resistances and ESR values of both series were further reduced, so that the ripple current capability was significantly increased. Depending on the type, these new capacitors have dimensions of between 25 x 25 mm and 35 x 55 mm (d x h). They are designed for a maximum ambient temperature of 105 °C.
Their main applications are as DC link capacitors in frequency converters for drives and inverters for photovoltaic installations as well as industrial power supplies.
Main features and benefits:
-Useful life of 5000 h and 8000 h, respectively
-Low thermal resistances and reduced ESR values
-High ripple current capability
