Murata's new MLCCs with extended creepage distance for EV electronics
Leading electronics manufacturer Murata has introduced multi-layer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) products that successfully draw on the company’s advanced resin molding capabilities. The EVA series of MLCCs have properties that will be highly appealing to electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers. These capacitors are ideal for a wide variety of applications, such as on-board chargers (OBCs), inverters and DC/DC converters, battery management systems (BMS), and wireless power transfer (WPT) implementations.
Developed in accordance with IEC60384-14 requirements, the new safety-certified Y2 class MLCCs will be highly effective at suppressing common mode noise in next generation Evs. Housed in surface-mount packages (each with a 12.7mm x 6.0mm footprint, plus a 3.7mm profile), these compact components have 305VAC/1500VDC voltage ratings and support industry-leading 10mm creepage distances. Consequently, they are able to address the greater isolation that migration to 800V powertrains will mandate, yet also remain aligned with the need for miniaturization in modern automotive systems. The capacitance values of the EVA series range from 0.1nF to 4.7nF. These MLCCs are AEC-Q200 qualified, with an -55 Deg C to+125 Deg C operation temperature range covered. They have elevated withstand voltages of 2000VAC/60s and...
