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

    Type QAS, Arc Suppressor/Snubber Network

    Type QAS will extend the operating life of electronic and electro-mechanical devices by reducing and/or eliminating the electrical arcing, noise, and EMF. These electrical conditions often cause early failures in relays, switch contacts, and solid-state components such as SCRs and TRIACs.

  • 3 CELL DSF & DGH
    Released Mar, 2024

    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.
