DC link film capacitor from Vishay Intertechnology is AEC-Q200-certified

9 June 2022  

For space-constrained automotive applications, the metallised polypropylene capacitor is available in four low heights from 12 to 24mm. The Vishay Roederstein capacitor is designed to meet the demands of high humidity automotive applications, and is claimed to be the first to withstand temperature humidity bias (THB) testing of 60°C / 93% relative humidity for 56 days at rated voltage.

The automotive grade capacitor is available in 12, 15, 18 and 24mm heights and 12 standard dimension options. The low profile design and high resistance to humidity ensure that the radial device is suitable for space-constrained automotive applications, including HVAC systems, on-board and inductive battery charging systems, air conditioning compressors, and motor drives for EVs and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV).

The MKP1848Se DC-Link capacitor offers rated capacitance from 1.0 to 75µF and low ESR down to 3mΩ. The RoHS-compliant device provides high ripple current capabilities up to 27A and rated voltages of 500, 700, 900 and 1200V DC at 85°C.

Samples and production quantities are available now, with a lead time of 20 weeks.
