Aec-q200 qualified DC link film capacitors for space-limited applications

    Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has released a new low specification, AEC-Q200 qualified DC-Link metallized polypropylene film capacitor. The Vishay Roederstein MKP1848Se DC-Link is the first device capable of withstanding Temperature Humidity Bias (THB) testing at 60C/93% relative humidity for 56 days at rated voltage and is designed to meet the needs of high humidity automotive applications.

     Automotive grade capacitors are available in four building heights - 12mm, 15mm, 18mm and 24mm - and 12 standard size options. Due to its low profile design and high humidity resistance, the radial unit is ideal for space-constrained automotive applications including HVAC systems, on-board and inductive battery charging systems, air conditioning compressors, and motor drives for electric vehicles and PHEVs.

     MKP1848Se dc-link capacitors offer rated capacitance from 1 μ F to 75 μ F with ESR down to 3mOhm. Rohs compliant devices provide high ripple current capability of up to 27A at rated voltages of 500VDC, 700VDC, 900VDC, and 1200VDC at +85 ° c.
