The extremely light andspace-saving design of Epcos power capacitors enables therealisation of ultracompact designs in automotive electronics.Rated at 2000uF, the power capacitors have a dielectric strengthof 450V DC.
Thanks to their space-saving stacked windingtechnology, they measure only 292 x 146 x 56mm.
At an operatingfrequency of 8kHz, a current up to 150A RMS can be applied to thecapacitor.
In turn, the very low-inductance capacitors optimiseconvertor design because only low voltage peaks, for example, canoccur.
Further advantages of the capacitors include theiroil-free design and self-healing capability.
A wide operatingtemperature range extends from -40 to +105C.
