Panasonic ECW-FG Series Metallized Polypropylene Film Capacitors are rated for 85°C and 85% relative humidity. These film capacitors are tested for up to 1000 hours and are compliant with AEC-Q200 standards. These capacitors are ideal for DC/DC, AC/DC converter circuits in xEV, and high frequency, high current circuits.

When I fill up a gas-powered vehicle, I have just enough time to run into the convenience store to grab a hot dog and soda. When I charge my EV, I’ve got enough time to walk across the street, eat an entire pizza, and then sit in regret. Higher power EV chargers are one reason I’m excited for Panasonic’s ECW-FG series of metalized polypropylene film capacitors. The ECWFC series offers roughly double the current handling capability of previous capacitors, enabling higher output current in the same footprint or the same output current from a smaller and lighter design. The capacitors are offered with allowable current up to 6.4 amps RMS and voltage ratings from 600 to 1100 volts DC. The capacitors are AEC-Q200 compliant, with a flame-retardant plastic enclosure that provides high moisture resistance and thermal shock resistance. They also feature a built-in fuse element that produces open failures to prevent fuming or firing from short circuits.
