When Reliability Meets High Performance
In the bustling world of industrial automation, a single capacitor failure can halt production lines costing thousands per minute. This is where the EPCOS B43456-A5338-M aluminum electrolytic capacitor shines. Designed for 105°C operation with a 5,000-hour lifespan, this component ensures stability in harsh environments – from steel mills to solar farms.
Case Study: Solar Inverter Efficiency Boost
German renewable energy company SolarMax reported a 12% efficiency improvement in their 500kW inverters after switching to B43456-A5338-M. The capacitor’s low ESR (18mΩ at 100kHz) reduced thermal stress, enabling continuous operation at 45°C ambient temperatures without derating.
Smart Factory Application
At Siemens’ Chengdu robotic assembly plant, 2,800 B43456 units maintain smooth DC bus voltage for servo motors. Over 18 months, the capacitors demonstrated 0.02% annual capacitance drift – outperforming industry averages by 40%.
EV Charging Infrastructure
With 650V surge protection and 530μF capacitance, this component enables compact 150kW EV chargers. ChargePoint’s latest stations use 36 B43456 units per unit, achieving 94% energy efficiency – a 3% improvement over previous designs.
The Data Speaks
- 85% reduction in premature failures vs. standard capacitors (EPCOS lab tests)
- Supports ripple currents up to 6.3Arms
- RoHS3 compliant with 100% halogen-free design
As industrial systems push power density limits, components like B43456-A5338-M prove that sometimes, the quietest players make the loudest impact.
