Capacitors for DC Link

Up to +135 °C • Automotive grade

THB-robust • High current capability

UL 810-qualified versions

TDK provides a wide range of voltage and capacitance options to meet the customer requirements for DC link designs. These capacitors are available in 2-, 4- and multi-pin versions and come in rectangular and cylindrical shapes.

Focusing on high energy density, ripple current, ambient temperature, and humidity, TDK’s DC link film capacitors cover applications ranging from industrial variable-speed drives to solar, automotive, and consumer applications. In addition to their compact size and low ESR, their low self-inductance provides an excellent design option for fast switching applications using the latest wide bandgap (WBG) switching devices in SiC and GaN technology.

Latest developments

B3271 Series
TDK introduces new film capacitors for DC link applications: The B3271 series features high energy and power density. These are rated for DC voltages from 500 V to 1600 V, offer capacitance values from 0.47 µF to 170 µF, and can operate up to +105 °C. At rated voltage and an operating temperature of +70 °C, the typical life of the rugged, and self-healing capacitors is 95,000 hours.

xEVCap
TDK presents a standardized and modular DC link capacitor design - xEVCap- for powertrain inverters in passenger cars, commercial and off-highway vehicles, and machinery tools. This approach helps inverter designers meet varying capacitance and current requirements for lower volume applications while saving valuable development time thanks to the modularity and scalability of the xEVCap solution.

High-Performance IGBT Modules

IGBT manufacturer Semikron uses TDK DC-link and snubber capacitors on his latest development, the SkiiP^®4 high-performance module, which switch currents in the kA range. At this performance level unwanted and in some cases harmful voltage overshoots can occur due to DC link leakage inductances.
