Product Description:

A reliable module identified by part number ECA162-01 comes from B & R Automation company within the ECZ Multi Analog Modules series. It offers capacitance of 1600 µF which smooths voltage fluctuations and stabilizes DC link performance. Rated voltage reaches 160 V to endow the module with resilience against high‑voltage spikes. Tolerance sits at ±20% which allows predictable energy storage margins under worst‑case conditions. This device operates at temperatures between -25°C to +85°C to manage thermal cycling in diverse process environments.

After one minute’s application of rated voltage, leakage current follows I = 0.1 CV + 40 µA which enforces strict self‑discharge limits. The dissipation factor does not exceed 0.20 at 20°C and 120 Hz; therefore, it preserves dielectric efficiency and curbs energy loss. Impedance ratio Z(-25°C)/Z(+20°C) holds at 3 that secures consistent performance in cold‑start scenarios. Device’s shelf-life spans 1000 hours at 85°C without voltage applied which enables flexible inventory storage before deployment. Self‑healing capability is inherent to maintain oxide layer integrity and prolongs overall lifespan. It also uses a mounting type of radial leaded connections, thus streamlines wave‑solder processes and enhances mechanical stability.

Endurance rates at 2000 hours at 85°C to confirm long‑term reliability under continuous operation. RoHS compliance is affirmed and guarantees adherence to environmental directives. The case size for this module measures 30 × 50 mm which condenses footprint. Offering a lead spacing of 10 mm allows reliable solder adhesion and reduces risk of short circuits. Additionally, a ripple current capacity for ECA162-01 variant reaches 2.8 A at 120 Hz and 85°C, filtering high‑frequency noise and protects downstream components. The equivalent series resistance is 0.03 Ω at 120 Hz and 20°C that minimizes power dissipation and lowers heat buildup.
