Low Inductance DC Link Capacitor (600 to 3600VDC) High Current (Up To 120A) Long Life, Solid Resin Fill

E50 pk16 dc capacitor

The E50 (PK16™) capacitor can be universally used for the assembly of low inductance DC buffer circuits and DC Link filters; with its high energy density it can replace banks of series-connected electrolytic capacitors as well as large film capacitors in rectangular cases. Thanks to its compact cylindrical aluminum (N1/N5) or plastic (N4) can designs this capacitor is ideal for both the electrical and mechanical requirements of high-speed IGBT converters.

Its robust terminals and the robust fixing stud allow for very simple and reliable mounting that unites lowest inductance and highest current strength.
