TDK-EPC has expanded a wide range of EPCOS MKP and MKT film capacitors with low insertion heights. The new capacitors with a lead spacing of 37.5 mm possess insertion heights of only 15 mm or 19 mm. These components are developed for rated voltages of between 63 V and 2000 V DC or 250 to 400 V AC. Their capacitance ranges from 0.1 µF to 82 µF. Based on type and technology (MKT or MKP), these capacitors are designed for maximum operating temperatures of 105°C, 110°C or 125°C. They can be used in DC link circuits as well as DC or AC filtering in converters and power supplies. Their reduced insertion heights make these capacitors especially ideal for applications that require a low-profile design for constructional reasons. These include induction cookers, photovoltaic micro inverters, power supplies for flat-screen TV sets and LED lighting. Owing to their low insertion heights, they offer very high mechanical resistance to vibrations and shocks, making them equally suitable for subassemblies in automotive electronics.

EPCOS develops, manufactures and markets electronic components, modules and systems, focusing on fast-growing leading-edge technology markets, which include information and communications technology, automotive electronics, industrial electronics and consumer electronics.

In SAW components, ceramic components, capacitors and inductors alike, EPCOS consistently stands for superlative electronic performance. Approximately 26,300 employees at over 20 design and production locations and a tightly meshed sales network give us a genuine global footprint. More than half of our sales professionals are engineers and technical experts. In fiscal 2011 EPCOS posted sales of about EUR 1.9 billion.
