The Type 401C is a low-ESR aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for high-ripple current applications requiring full performance from -55 °C to +105 °C. It features Thermal-Pak™ extended cathode construction for efficient heat dissipation in all mounting orientations. The 401C284M016BF8 variant has a capacitance of 280,000 µF with a voltage rating of 16 Vdc, a case code of BF measuring 2.00 inches in diameter by 5.75 inches in length, and a maximum ESR of 3.5 mΩ at 20 kHz. It supports ripple currents up to 37.9 A at 85 °C and meets EIA IS-749 ripple life testing for 2,000 hours at 85 °C. Capacitance tolerance is ±20%, and DC leakage is limited to 1.5 √CV µA with a 4 mA maximum.
