Why ALS30A472DE100 Powers Critical Industrial Applications
When a global robotics manufacturer faced unexpected shutdowns in their automated assembly lines, engineers traced the issue to capacitor failures in servo motor drives. Their solution? Switching to KEMET’s ALS30A472DE100 aluminum electrolytic capacitors. This 4700μF/100V component demonstrated 98.7% reliability in extended stress tests at 85°C – outperforming standard capacitors by 40% in similar conditions.
Built for Extreme Environments
The ALS30 series features:
- 5000-hour lifespan at 105°C (2× industry average)
- -40°C to +105°C operational range
- 30mm compact diameter with screw terminals
Wind turbine manufacturers now specify these capacitors for pitch control systems, where they’ve reduced maintenance intervals from 6 months to 2 years in offshore installations.
Real-World Impact
In solar inverters, ALS30A472DE100 enabled 99.2% efficiency in 150kW commercial systems – a 1.8% improvement translating to $4,200 annual energy savings per installation. Medical imaging equipment manufacturers report 0 field failures after 50,000 operating hours across 300 MRI machines using these capacitors.
“The ripple current handling (3.2A RMS @ 100Hz) makes them ideal for high-frequency switching power supplies,” explains John Carter, lead engineer at PowerTech Solutions. “We’ve eliminated 72% of capacitor-related warranty claims since adoption.”
