MKP 1848 DC-Link Film Capacitors

Vishay MKP1848x DC-Link AEC-Q200 qualified capacitors offer very low ESR (equivalent series resistance) down to 1.3 mΩ and 1.5 mΩ, depending on case size, voltage, and capacitance selections. DC-Link capacitors play a vital role in the performance of industrial and automotive power conversion. ESR and capacitance stability are key to ensuring a long lifetime and predictable behavior during the capacitor service life. The exposure to harsh environmental conditions of heat and humidity can affect the stability of ESR and capacitance of the DC-Link capacitor, affecting its performance in power electronics devices such as renewable energy inverters, UPS systems, automotive on-board chargers, and thermal management systems. Expected environmental conditions are, therefore, a valuable design input for DC-Link capacitor selection.
