ECQ-UA Series Metalized Polypropylene Film Capacitors (Automotive-Type)

Panasonic's ECQ-UA series automotive-type, metalized polypropylene film capacitors are AEC-Q200 qualified and Class X2-rated. The devices benefit from Panasonic's original in-house patterned metallization process with fuse mechanism function. This unique technology delivers stable capacitance levels over the product lifetime and higher reliability of the application.

The ECQ-UA series film capacitors feature an operating temperature range of -40°C to +110°C, a rated voltage of 275 V_AC extendable to 310 V_AC for short periods, and a nominal capacitance range of 0.1 µF to 4.7 µF. A flame-retardant plastic case and non-combustible resin are utilized leading to accreditation in accordance with UL/CSA and European safety regulation for Class X2. These devices are fully RoHS and REACH compliant.

The capacitors offer high humidity resistance (THB test: +85°C, 85%, 240 V_AC, 1,000 hours) and high thermal shock resistance (-40°C to +85°C, 1,000 cycles). Functioning as interference suppression capacitors, the ECQ-UA series is ideal for a broad spectrum of applications including input/output filtering for charging stations or the input side of on-board chargers, industrial power supplies, the range of EV/PHEV applications, and renewable energy infrastructure.

The AEC-Q200 compliance of the ECQ-UA series ensures that these film capacitors are meeting the ultra-stringent quality standards in the industry.
