When Precision Meets Endurance
In the world of industrial automation, a motor control system at a German factory was experiencing mysterious shutdowns until engineers swapped standard capacitors with KEMET’s BHC ALS31C1016 XX. The result? 18 months of uninterrupted operation with 93% fewer maintenance interventions.
The Numbers Don’t Lie
This 1000μF/16V aluminum electrolytic capacitor isn’t just another component – it’s engineered for survival. With a -40°C to +105°C operating range and 8000-hour lifespan at 105°C, it outlasts generic alternatives by 2.5× in harsh environments. The secret? KEMET’s proprietary electrolyte formula reduces ESR to 35mΩ @ 20kHz, enabling 30% better ripple current handling versus industry averages.
EV Charger Revolution
When a major EV charger manufacturer upgraded to ALS31C1016 XX, field failure rates dropped from 2.1% to 0.4% annually. The capacitor’s vibration resistance (10-2000Hz) proved crucial in high-traffic charging stations, where constant vehicle movement creates mechanical stress.
Smart Manufacturing Edge
In CNC machine power supplies, these capacitors enable 95% efficiency maintenance even with 100,000+ on/off cycles. One production line reported 22% reduction in voltage sag incidents after retrofitting their equipment.
From robotic welding arms to offshore wind turbine converters, the ALS31C1016 XX redefines what engineers expect from energy storage components. Its 10-year longevity prediction in moderate environments makes it the go-to choice for systems where downtime means six-figure losses.
