EC-Series Metalized Polypropylene DC-link Film Capacitors

CDE’s EC-Series metalized polypropylene DC-link film capacitors offer large capacitance values, high Joule energy, and large current ratings in a single welded metal package. This dry resin-filled package can have a variety of low inductance terminal options, and brackets for mounting, and can also incorporate additional metal structures to accommodate additional components such as resistors, chill plates, etc.

EC-Series capacitors are well suited for many inverter applications including:

Unique features of the EC-Series capacitor include:

Large Capacitance values at high voltages – By utilizing fabricated welded metal packages, CDE can incorporate large capacitance values with higher voltage ratings.
Rugged metal cases – Welded metal cans fabricated from alum, brass, steel, and stainless steel are provided for rugged packages up to 500 lbs.
Inverter design flexibility – With an already fabricated metal package, CDE can fasten onto the metal container's unique brackets to accommodate a variety of functionality.
