8,000 Hour, 105° C Aluminum Electrolytic Snap-in Capacitors

The 381-383LL snap-in series, designated with an expected life of 8,000 hours at full-rated conditions, demonstrates superb stability in capacitance and DC leakage current over time on test. The snap-in series is targeted for use in critical applications where long life and reliability are paramount.

Capacitance values range from 740µF to 100,000µF at working voltages of 16 to 250 WVDC with ripple current ratings up to 10 Amps @ 105 °C. The snap-in series is available in two pin configurations in the smaller diameters with 4 and 5 pin options in the larger diameters.

General applications include any circuit requiring high capacitance with low ESR, high ripple current and long life. This includes switch-mode power supplies, UPS systems, solar and other high-power inverters.


Highlights

  • 8,000 life at full rated conditions
  • Stable capacitance over operating life
  • Reduced leakage current over operating life
  • Stable ESR and dissipation factor over operating life
  • RoHS Compliant
381 Ll 1

Applications Include:

    3 CELL DSF & DGH


    Three-cell devices offer greater energy potential and power output than single or dual-cell parts in standard PCB layouts

    3-cell DSF & DGH capacitors provide very fast power discharge that cannot be matched by conventional capacitors or batteries. That large capacity makes it possible to support brief power interruptions, supplement batteries, or even be used in place of batteries in many applications.

  • TYPE MXT, X2, EMI/RFI Suppression Capacitors, Harsh Environment
    Released Nov, 2023

    TYPE MXT, X2, EMI/RFI Suppression Capacitors, Harsh Environment

    Type MXT Series Metallized Polypropylene Film Capacitor, designed to suppress conducted electromagnetic/radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI) at a circuit’s power input. These capacitors are perfect for use in harsh environments having met the demanding 85/85 THB (Temperature, Humidity, Bias) test requirements. Class X2 capacitors, like the MXT, are typically connected across the AC input to prevent interference from spreading through power lines or other devices on the same circuit.
