TDK Corporation has extended its portfolio of EPCOS film capacitors for DC link applications with the robust new B3277*M series. The new types are suitable for extreme environmental conditions โ a fact that has been proven by means of a THB test (temperature, humidity, bias) at 85ย ยฐC, 85 percent relative humidity with a rated voltage applied for 1000 hours.
The capacitors of the new series are designed for rated voltages of between 450ย Vย DC and 1600ย Vย DC and offer capacitance values of between 0.33ย ยตF and 120ย ยตF. The maximum operating temperature of these RoHS-compatible components is 105ย ยฐC. Depending on the voltage and capacitance, the lead spacings are 27.5ย mm, 37.5ย mm and 52.5ย mm, and a 2-pin or 4-pin version is available for each lead spacing. The service life of the self-healing capacitors is 50,000 hours at the rated voltage and an operating temperature of 85ย ยฐC.
Typical applications include DC links of converters for photovoltaic plants, as well as frequency converters and power supplies for industrial applications. The series is qualified in accordance with AEC-Q200.
