Low-profile film capacitors

25 January 2012 Passive Components

TDK-EPC has developed a wide range of EPCOS MKP and MKT film capacitors with low insertion heights. The new parts of the B32*6T series with a lead spacing of 37,5 mm feature insertion heights of only 15 or 19 mm.

They are designed for rated voltages of between 63 and 2000 V d.c. or 250 to 400 V a.c. and their capacitance ranges from 0,1 to 82 μF. Depending on type and technology (MKT or MKP), the capacitors are designed for maximum operating temperatures of 105°C, 110°C or 125°C.

Applications include DC link circuits as well as DC or AC filtering in converters and power supplies. Their reduced insertion heights make these capacitors especially suitable for applications that require a low-profile design for constructional reasons. These include induction cookers, photovoltaic micro inverters, power supplies for flat-screen TV sets and LED lighting. Their low insertion heights also ensure high mechanical resistance to vibrations and shocks, making them equally suitable for subassemblies in automotive electronics.
