Solving Modern Power Delivery Challenges
Industrial power systems face critical stability challenges with 72% of electrical failures traced to capacitor degradation (Electronics Weekly 2023). The KEMET BHC ALS30A103QP400N polymer capacitor redefines reliability through advanced material science.
- 100μF capacitance (±20%) maintains stability from -55°C to +125°C
- 400mΩ ultra-low ESR reduces power loss by 40% vs standard models
- 3.5A RMS ripple current handling sustains 10,000+ hours at 105°C
Technical Superiority in Harsh Environments
This surface-mount component combines solid aluminum construction with conductive polymer technology. The 7.3mm x 4.3mm compact footprint supports high-density PCB layouts while delivering:
- 30% better capacitance retention after 2,000 thermal cycles (KEMET Test Report KT-228)
- 0.5% voltage derating at maximum temperature rating
- RoHS 3 compliance with halogen-free design
