Vishay Intertechnology has launched the MKP1848e, an AEC-Q200 certified, metallized polypropylene movie capacitor engineered for demanding automotive, power, and industrial environments. The MKP1848e capacitor, which helps operation at temperatures as much as 125 °C, is designed to face up to harsh operational and environmental stresses, making it appropriate for EV powertrain functions.
The MKP1848e affords rated capacitance values starting from 1 microfarad to 140 microfarads and helps voltages from 500 VDC to 1300 VDC. Vishay says the gadget achieves low equal collection resistance (ESR) values right down to 1.0 milliohm and helps ripple present as much as 44.5 A. The capacitor offers 25% greater ripple present density in comparison with previous-generation units with an identical quantity. The MKP1848e can even face up to temperature humidity bias circumstances per Grade III of IEC60384-16 version 3 (60 °C, 93% relative humidity, 1344 hours at rated voltage) and endures 1000 thermal shock cycles from -40 °C to 125 °C, every with a 30-minute dwell.
The MKP1848e matches the excessive voltage requirements required for EV and PHEV platforms, withstanding working voltages from 250 VDC to 800 VDC at 125 °C for a restricted interval. The part options non-compulsory personalized terminals and helps compact designs with pitch choices as little as 22.5 mm, enabling as much as 40% quantity discount at 500 VDC and 15% at 900 VDC.
Goal functions additionally embody quick chargers, photo voltaic inverters, hydrogen electrolyzer rectifiers, battery storage programs, motor drives, and uninterruptible energy provides. Samples and manufacturing volumes of the MKP1848e are at the moment accessible with a typical lead time of 10 weeks.
