Why This Tiny Component is a Game-Changer for EV Makers
In the race to extend electric vehicle range, engineers at a leading European automaker discovered an unexpected ally – the KEMET BHC ALS71A363DE040 capacitor. When implemented in their 800V battery management systems, these aluminum electrolytic capacitors demonstrated 12% better energy recovery during regenerative braking compared to previous solutions.
Industrial Power Systems Get a Reliability Upgrade
A recent case study from Siemens Energy revealed how switching to ALS71A363DE040 capacitors in wind turbine converters reduced maintenance intervals from 18 to 30 months. The component’s -40°C to +125°C operational range and 8,000-hour lifespan at 105°C proved crucial in harsh offshore environments.
Key Performance Metrics
- 36mF capacitance with ±20% tolerance
- 40V DC rated voltage
- Low ESR of 18mΩ at 20kHz
- Surge voltage withstand up to 45V
The Data Center Energy Efficiency Breakthrough
Google’s 2023 sustainability report highlighted a 2.4% reduction in UPS energy losses across Asian data centers after adopting these capacitors. The 71ALS series’ 93% charge retention after 3,000 hours at peak load became a critical factor in achieving their PUE targets.
With global shipments surpassing 5 million units in 2023 according to TTI Market Insights, the ALS71A363DE040 continues to power innovation across transportation and energy sectors. Its hybrid electrolyte formulation sets new benchmarks for compact energy storage solutions.
