Called the ZL series, the parts come in five case sizes from 5mm diameter (ø) x 5.8mm high (47 or 82μF), to 10ø x10.2mm (470 or 680μF). There are two capacitance values at each case size, one rated at 25V and a smaller capacitance rated at 35V. The company makes two other comparisons with its […]
It has a design service for vehicle companies seeking custom power distribution units that handle between 60 and 1,000V “that are compact, robust and can be flexibly configured”, it said. “Press-fit technology makes it possible to implement solutions that have proven to be reliable under extreme operating conditions,” according to Wurth. “Low contact resistance leads […]
March 14, 2024 — Infineon Technologies AG recently launched the new CoolSiC™ MOSFET 2000 V in the TO-247PLUS-4-HCC package to meet designers’ demand for increased power density without compromising the system’s reliability even under demanding high voltage and switching frequency conditions. The CoolSiC MOSFETs offer a higher DC link voltage so that the power can […]
“It is the first discrete silicon carbide device with a breakdown voltage of 2,000V on the market, with a creepage distance of 14mm and clearance distance of 5.4mm,” according to the company. “The devices are ideal for solar string inverters as well as energy storage systems and electric vehicle charging.” The package measures ~16 x […]
February 29, 2024 — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. recently introduced five new half-bridge IGBT power modules in the newly redesigned INT-A-PAK package. Built on Vishay’s Trench IGBT technology, the VS-GT100TS065S, VS-GT150TS065S, VS-GT200TS065S, VS-GT100TS065N, and VS-GT200TS065N offer designers a choice of two best in class technologies — low VCE(ON) or low Eoff — to lower conduction or switching losses in high current inverter stages for […]
“We are acutely aware of the increasing power requirements of industrial applications, and the need for high efficiency,” says CCO Andrea Bricconi, “for example as the use of AI proliferates, the power demanded by the exponential growth in power demanded by datacentres is growing almost exponentially. Other applications, such as solar inverters, amplifiers, transport and […]
Panasonic has introduced the ZV Series – an Electrolytic Polymer Hybrid capacitor with advanced characteristics. It achieves a maximum Ripple Current (3.3~4.6 Arms) – claimed to be approximately 50% higher than comparable case-sizes. While comparable capacitors usually come up with a ESR of around 16 mΩ at 35V, the ZV series has an ESR of […]
