BHC Components ALS30 Electrolytic Capacitor 470µF 500V

The BHC Components ALS30 Series is a high-performance, aluminium electrolytic capacitor designed for robust and long-lasting operation in demanding electronic circuits. It features a nominal capacitance of 470 microfarads (µF) and a high 500V DC voltage rating, making it suitable for power supply filtering, energy storage, and smoothing applications in industrial equipment, inverters, and motor drives.

Constructed for reliability, this polarised capacitor offers an extended operational lifetime of 18,000 hours at 85°C. It is built to withstand a broad operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C, ensuring stable performance in challenging environments. The low Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) of 0.194 ohms contributes to efficient power handling and reduced heat generation.

For secure and reliable connections, the capacitor is equipped with screw terminals, facilitating easy installation and robust mechanical contact in chassis-mounted applications. Its compact dimensions and standard 22mm lead spacing make it compatible with a wide range of PCB layouts and mounting configurations.
