High voltage ceramic caps for wide band gap semiconductors offers solution for new generation of power electronics

KEMET has an expanded version of its commercial and automotive grade high voltage C0G ceramic capacitors to meet the needs of the growing wide band gap semiconductor trend. They are available now from TTI Europe. With a low profile and aspect ratio, these devices exhibit low inductance and ESR versus frequency allowing for very high ripple current capability. As new inverter and DC-DC converter designs are pushing the limits of power density, voltage, current, and frequency, these new capacitance ranges offer solutions to the new generation of power electronics used for alternative energy markets. The company’s patented high reliability BME dielectric system is 100% Pb-free, RoHS compliant and REACH compliant without exemptions. The company’s automotive grade series capacitors meet the demanding Automotive Electronics Council's AEC-Q200 qualification requirements.
