Cornell Dubilier Electronics' growing line of 380LX and 381LX aluminum electrolytic capacitors includes voltages up to 600VDC, according to The New Yorker Electronics. According to the company, the new ratings are intended to serve the company's industrial electronics customers, who continue to push the range of applications for these components to higher voltages.
These components have excellent lifetimes in practical applications that are often below the maximum ratings of the capacitors. This series provides a rated load life of 3000 hours when tested at rated voltage and rated temperature. The 380LX series is designed for operation at 85°C, while the 381LX series meets the same load life at 105°C.
The 380LX series offers capacity values of 15 to 330 μg at 550VDC and 600VDC, and the 381LX series offers capacity values of 140 to 340 μg at 500vdc, 550 vdc and 600VDC. These new ratings feature enhanced ripple current capability up to 3.7A at full rating.
These high-voltage management capacitors are expected to be used in the latest inverter circuits for renewable energy, motor drives, UPS systems, battery chargers, welders and other applications that require the highest performance components to improve system reliability.
