Metallized Polypropylene Capacitors for Electric Auto Tech
R41T and R76H series offer a high-power density solution for harsh environments and electric vehicle applications
KEMET Corporation has launched the R41T and R76H series AEC-Q200 qualified metallized polypropylene film capacitors. This series builds on the company’s long-standing expertise in power management solutions by leveraging advances in manufacturing technology and new materials to address the stringent requirements of the latest automotive applications, including those for electric vehicle (EV) powertrains and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).
This addition to KEMET’s product portfolio has a 125ºC maximum operating temperature and exceeds the requirements of 85ºC/85% relative humidity temperature-bias-humidity tests. The R41T and R76H film capacitors support the design of high-performance, high-reliability circuits including those based on Wide Band Gap (WBG) semiconductor solutions. According to BloombergNEF’s Electric Vehicle Outlook 2019, (https://about.bnef.com/electric-vehicle-outlook/) up to 57% of passenger vehicles are projected to be electric by 2040. These new film capacitors complement the rapid growth in electronic content on a typical passenger vehicle.
The R41T and R76H series is available immediately via KEMET distributors. To learn more about these film capacitor technologies visit http://www.kemet.com/film.
