The MKP1848e features a compact footprint and pitch options down to 22.5 mm, enabling volume reductions up to 40% and 15%, respectively, at 500 VDC and 900 VDC. It offers rated capacitance from 1 µF to 140 µF and low ESR down to 1.0 mΩ, in rated voltages from 500 VDC to 1300 VDC. The device provides 25% higher ripple current density than previous-generation solutions with the same volume [2].
To meet the standard high voltage levels of electric (EV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV), the MKP1848e withstands operating voltages from 250 VDC to 800 VDC at +125 °C for a limited time. It also features high thermal shock capabilities, withstanding 1000 temperature cycles from -40 °C to +125 °C, with a 30-minute dwell time for each temperature extreme [3].
Samples and production quantities of the MKP1848e are available now, with lead times of 10 weeks. Vishay manufactures one of the world’s largest portfolios of discrete semiconductors and passive electronic components that are essential to innovative designs in various markets [1].
