Vishay MKP385e automotive grade AC and pulse film capacitors
Vishay Intertechnology introduces a new series of Automotive Grade AC and pulse metallized polypropylene film capacitors for hybrid and electric vehicles
The MKP385E series of automotive grade AC and pulse metallised polypropylene film capacitors is ideal for hybrid and electric vehicles. With a maximum operating temperature of +125 °C (observing voltage derating), MKP385e series devices ensure compliance with IEC 60384-17 and AEC-Q200 Revision D, while withstanding temperature humidity bias (THB) testing of 60 °C, 93 % RH for 56 days at rated voltage.
- Designed to ensure high and stable pulse strength and ripple current capabilities over a long service life under harsh environmental conditions
- Offered in compact packages to increase density
