Cornell Dubilier Introduces High Energy Density DC Link Capacitors for Larger Inverter Systems
Cornell Dubilier announced availability of its Type 947D high energy density dc link capacitors for larger inverter systems. The 947D is well suited for dc link applications where high bus voltage, high capacitance, and high ripple current are required for smoothing and filtering.
Compared with major competitive types, the 947D dc link capacitor offers up to 20% more capacitance in the same size case with lower ESR and higher ripple current ratings. Since a fused, segmented metallization pattern is used, the 947D capacitors offer greater open circuit protection and superior control of capacitance loss than competitive types. The pattern is deposited on a low-loss, high-grade polypropylene dielectric. Built-in fuse links limit capacitance loss to a small segment within the capacitor in lieu of the larger areas of uncontrolled capacitance loss observed with non-segmented types.
Laird Macomber, Technology Manager at Cornell Dubilier Electronics stated "This segmented feature enhances open circuit protection, limits capacitance loss and increases reliability in critical DC Link applications", he added "CDE’s advanced processing, testing and 100% burn-in greatly reduce or eliminate infant mortals and early field failures".
Available in 130 to 3600 µF and rms current ratings in excess of 100 A, The 947D dc link capacitors are packaged in cylindrical aluminum cases with diameters of 85, 90, 100 and 116 mm. Voltage ratings range from 800 to 1300Vdc. The heavy duty M8x20 threaded studs or optional M6 threaded inserts are used to connect the high current terminals to the inverter’s bus. An optional M12 mounting stud at the bottom of the case provides a robust mechanical connection where needed. Where increased strike distance between live parts is important for applications, the UL94V-0 plastic top offers greater terminal-to-case and terminal-to-terminal insulation.
With a 200,000 hour life expectancy at nameplate ratings of current, voltage and temperature, the 947D DC Link capacitor will excel at providing reliable filtering and smoothing for today’s demanding applications in inverters for wind and solar energy, electric vehicles, motor drives, UPS systems, and more.
Opinion: Unraveling the Ultra-Low Power Design Issues
In OEM quantities Type 947D capacitors are available with pricing from $35. Samples are available in 4 to 6 weeks, production in 8 to 10 weeks.

Energy Efficiency with Class D Amplifier Modules
Class-D switching amplifiers are helping audio designers create personal multimedia devices and home audio/visual systems that demonstrate how compact and stylish equipment can also deliver high sound quality and high audio output power. The key to this breakthrough, providing freedom from the large and bulky boxes housing traditional audio products, lies in the class-D amplifier’s high energy efficiency, which is typically around 90%. This allows designers to reduce or eliminate heatsinks as well as using smaller-sized PCBs and smaller components such as transformers, connectors and power supplies.

The Role of Hall Effect Sensors in Power Distribution Infrastructure
Power distribution units (PDUs) form an essential part of modern computing and data communications hardware. They provide multiple outputs for transferring electrical power with maximum efficiency, controlling the power capacity and safeguarding against the possible causes of supply interruption. With an ever increasing need from tech savvy consumers for higher data throughput and greater quantities of data storage capacity, as well as tough international legislation now governing CO&sub2; emissions, the demands being placed on these units are proving challenging for engineering teams to satisfy.
