The Cornell Dubilier 381LQ series represents a significant advancement in capacitor technology, offering a compact and high-ripple solution for a wide range of applications. These snap-in aluminum electrolytic capacitors are approximately 23% smaller and 5mm shorter than the 381LX series, achieved through a new can closure method that allows for the installation of capacitor elements into smaller cans. This design enables equipment size reduction without compromising performance. The 381LQ series retains the robust capabilities of the 381L, making it ideal for applications where space is limited and high performance is required. They are commonly used in power supplies, lighting systems, and other industrial equipment.
