Vishay Intertechnology Introduces Slim Polypropylene Film Capacitor for DC-Link Applications
Device Offers Industry's Broadest CV Range From 2 µF to 100 µF, 500 VDC to 1000 VDC Voltage Ratings, and Low Profiles of 12 mm, 15 mm, 18 mm, and 24 mm
MALVERN, Pa. - Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today announced a new high-performance metallized DC polypropylene film capacitor, engineered for DC-link applications, that features a slim design, the industry's broadest CV range from 2 µF up to 100 µF, and voltage ratings of 500 VDC, 700 VDC, and 1,000 VDC. Providing designers with a number of options for their specific application, the slim MKP1848S features low profiles of 12 mm, 15 mm, 18 mm, and 24 mm.
With a long life of > 100,000 hours at nominal DC voltage and + 70 ºC, the MKP1848S is optimized for inverters, power supplies, solar micro-inverters, on-board chargers (EV/HEV), pumps, and LED drives.
The DC-link capacitor features capacitance tolerance down to ± 5 %, low self- inductance of < 1 nH per mm of lead spacing, high peak current capabilities to 900 A, and high RMS current to 22 A. Offered in a flame-retardant plastic case with a resin seal, the device features a high operating temperature to + 105 ºC, is lead (Pb)-free and RoHS-compliant, and introduces halogen-free materials to Vishay's portfolio of film capacitors.
Pricing for the MKP1848S starts at $2 per piece and varies by capacitance, profile, and voltage value. Samples are available now. Follow film capacitors from Vishay at http://twitter.com/vishayindust.
