Cutting-Edge High Voltage MLCCs for EV On-Board Chargers

Samsung Electro-Mechanics has introduced a cutting-edge CLLC-resonant MLCC designed specifically for on-board chargers (OBCs) in modern automobiles. The new CL32C223JIV1PN MLCC offers an impressive 22nF capacitance at 1000V, all packed into a compact 1210 (3.2 x 2.5mm) form factor.

As the automotive industry continues its shift towards electrification and enhanced functionality, the demand for MLCCs in vehicles is on the rise. Manufacturers are increasingly relying on these components to meet the evolving requirements of miniaturization, high voltage support, stability, and increased capacitance.

For electric vehicles, the quality and performance of MLCCs are crucial, especially in the context of on-board chargers. These chargers play a vital role in converting AC to DC power, adjusting the output to match the battery's requirements, and implementing power factor correction for efficient energy transfer.

Unlike plastic film capacitors, ceramic MLCCs are preferred for their ability to withstand high temperatures, making them ideal for applications requiring distributed capacitance. Samsung Electro-Mechanics' CL32C223JIV1PN# Class 1 C0G MLCC, operating within a temperature range of -55 to 125°C, is tailored to meet the stringent demands of electric vehicle charging systems.

The mass production of the CL32C223JIV1PN MLCC is already in full swing, with samples readily available for interested parties. This high-performance solution from Samsung Electro-Mechanics promises OEMs and end-users a reliable option as they navigate the challenges and opportunities presented by the era of electrification.
