The Cornell Dubilier 381LQ series represents a significant advancement in capacitor technology, offering a compact and high-performance solution for a wide range of applications. These capacitors are on average 23% smaller and more than 5 mm shorter than the 381LX series, achieved through a new can closure method that allows for the installation of capacitor elements into smaller cans. Approaching the robust capability of the 381L, the 381LQ series enables equipment size reduction while retaining original performance. They are ideal for applications where space is at a premium and high ripple current handling is required, such as power supplies, motor drives, and lighting systems.
