Cornell Dubilier MLS flatpack aluminium electrolytic capacitors

Cornell Dubilier has announced an expanded line of MLS flatpack aluminium electrolytic capacitors. The additions to the MLS Series include a high-vibration package (HVMLS) and a high-reliability burn-in option (HRMLS). The devices are suited to military and commercial flight-based power systems that require high energy density, rugged capacitors for bulk storage.

The capacitors are packaged in flat, stainless steel cans, 1.3 cm in height, with a near-hermetic, precision-welded construction, tested up to 24,000 m. Their flat form factor allows them to be fitted into tight spots, easily cooled and easily ganged for compact, high-bulk storage.

The HVMLS version is enhanced with ruggedised internal terminations and compressed can edges that keep the internal winding secure when tested up to 50 g (g-force) vibration. The HRMLS version is burned-in up to 48 h at rated voltage and 85°C.
