ULP Series Capacitors

Cornell Dubilier Knowles ULP series of ultra-low-profile aluminum electrolytic capacitors is game-changing for engineers designing compact electronic devices. Designed specifically for applications requiring bulk capacitance and the lowest board profiles, type ULP offers considerably higher energy density than arrays of surface mount capacitors. ULP technology allows the circuit designer to use a single component that saves space, weight, and cost while improving reliability.

With energy density exceeding 0.4 J/cc, a single ULP capacitor provides much greater bulk storage in a smaller footprint than a bank of low-profile SMT capacitors. Due to its low weight, the ULP is ideal for use in portable devices and is well suited for a wide range of applications where height profile, board space, and weight are critical design factors. In such situations, the ULP is not only cost-competitive, but it also improves circuit reliability through use of a single component versus an entire array of SMT capacitors. At 2 mm and 3 mm thin, type ULP offers very high energy density in a low-profile aluminum electrolytic.
