APL90 is an AEC-Q200-qualified rectangular aluminum polymer capacitor designed for 48V automotive applications requiring compactness. Offering a low profile and footprint, it offers high capacitance, high ripple current performance, and robust vibration resistance. Rated at 125ºC, the APL90 offers excellent volumetric efficiency in a shape that lends itself to stacking into modules.

The rectangular shape allows these capacitors to be mounted in horizontal or vertical positions for easy use with a heat sink from the large surface area of the aluminum case or along its thickness. It is a solution for applications requiring very low profiles and systems needing high energy-efficient 48V power supplies used in high-end data centers.

Benefits
 

• Rectangular shape for good volumetric efficiency and modular stacking options
