Rutronik is expanding its portfolio with Kemet’s APL90 series aluminum polymer rectangular capacitors. The capacitors are AEC-Q200 qualified and suit the requirements of 48V vehicle applications and platforms that require compact designs.
The series currently offers a capacitance of 1,100μF, 63VDC rated voltage, plus good vibration resistance and high ripple current capability. An important area of application for the APL90 series is the automotive sector as a DC link in 48V inverters for mild hybrid electric vehicles. These capacitors also suit data center applications such as input capacitors in power supply units for 48V systems.
With an operating temperature of -55 °C to 125°C, the component delivers outstanding volumetric efficiency. Its shape is ideal for efficient arrangement in modules and can bepositioned both horizontally and vertically. The rectangular shape allows easy use with a heat sink either along the large surface of the aluminum housing or along its thickness.
