DC-Link capacitors are specially designed for applications in high power converter technology where due to increasing electrical requirements they are more and more substituting electrolytic capacitors. Manufactured with a low-loss polypropylene dielectric they show a higher current-carrying capability as well as lower dissipation/self-heating at high frequencies compared to electrolytic capacitors. Further outstanding features are, e.g.:
◆ Very high capacitance/volume ratio
◆ High rating voltage
◆ Very low dissipation factor and ESR
◆ Very high insulation resistance
◆ Excellent self-healing properties
◆ Long life expectancy
◆ Non-polar construction
◆ High shock and vibration resistance
◆ Outstanding mechanical stability
