Industrial-grade power capacitors for uses with increasingly high voltages introduced by Cornell Dubilier
LIBERTY, S.C. – Cornell Dubilier Electronics Inc. in Liberty, S.C., is introducing 380LX and 381LX aluminum electrolytic capacitors for rugged and industrial electronics designers who push applications boundaries into high voltages. The 380LX and 381LX power capacitors include voltages to 600 volts DC.
The 380LX and 381LX snap-in series have a published load life of 3,000 hours when tested at rated voltage and ripple current at rated temperature.
The 380LX series of capacitors is designed to operate in temperatures as hot as 85 degrees Celsius, while the 381LX series meets the same load life at 105 C. These components demonstrate life in real-life applications where conditions typically are lower than the capacitor's maximum specified ratings.
Newly added capacitance values in the range of 150 to 330 microfarads are offered at 550 and 600 volts DC in the 380 LX series and 140 microfarads to 340 microfarads at 500, 550, and 600 volts DC in the 381LX series.
Developed at Cornell Dubilier's technology center in Liberty, S.C., these ratings come with enhanced ripple current capability to 3.7 amps at full-rated conditions.
Company officials say they expect these snap-in capacitors of relatively high voltages are for the latest inverter circuits for renewable energy, UPS systems, battery chargers, motor drives, welders, and other applications that require high-performance components to improve system reliability.
