Passive Components for 48V Motor Control

ZS Series

Conductive polymer hybrid aluminium electrolytic capacitors. Panasonic’s hybrid capacitors combine the benefits of aluminium electrolytic and specialty polymer capacitors resulting in a device that features high endurance, low ESR, high tolerance for ripple current, inrush currents and elevated temperature.

Hybrid capacitors are known for their stable electric characteristics at high frequencies while maximizing reliability. Panasonic’s hybrid capacitors are compact, allowing significant board space savings; vibration-proof parts are also available.

With the growing demand for eco-friendly cars, energy efficiency, and the need to comply with environmental regulations, vehicles are rapidly shifting from gasoline-powered to hybrid electric and electric vehicles.

These changes have increased the need for the miniaturization and weight reduction of ECUs and stabilization measures for power supply circuits in response to increases in current values. 

Features

  • Contribute to ECU miniaturization and weight reduction by achieving a larger current.
  • Contribute to ECU miniaturization and weight reduction by achieving a larger capacity.
  • Excellent vibration resistance eliminates the need for anti-vibration reinforcement during mounting processes, allowing customers to streamline their production processes.

Applications

  • Automotive applications for hybrid electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, electric vehicles, and gasoline-powered vehicles
    • Integrated starter generator (ISG)
    • Electric power steering (EPS)
    • Oil pump ECU
    • Water pump ECU
    • Transmission ECU
    • Radiator fan control (RFC)
