When Stability Meets Extreme Conditions
In the world of industrial automation, a European motor manufacturer faced recurring capacitor failures in their 150°C-rated servo drives. Their solution? Switching to KEMET’s BHC ALS30A472DE100 aluminum electrolytic capacitors. Within 6 months, field failure rates dropped by 63%, proving the value of components designed for -40°C to +130°C operation.
Technical Breakthroughs That Matter
What makes this 4700μF/100V capacitor stand out? The secret lies in its self-healing electrolyte and reinforced terminal design. Test data shows 2,000-hour endurance at 130°C – 3× longer than standard alternatives. For EV charger manufacturers, this translates to 8-year maintenance intervals instead of typical 5-year replacements.
Silent Partner in Green Energy
A solar inverter maker in California recently reported 98.2% efficiency retention after 5 years using these capacitors in their DC-link circuits. The component’s low ESR (18mΩ at 100kHz) and 12.5A ripple current handling directly contribute to reducing energy losses in renewable systems.
Automotive-Grade Reliability
When a Tier 1 auto supplier needed capacitors for engine control units (ECUs) in desert-operating vehicles, the ALS30A472DE100’s vibration resistance up to 15G and humidity protection became critical. Their accelerated life testing simulated 10 years of daily thermal cycling with <0.5% capacitance drift – beating AEC-Q200 requirements.
