Hybrid polymer electrolytic capacitors from Panasonic, the ZC, ZS, and ZL series, are gaining in popularity among designers of automotive and industrial battery management systems (BMS) and battery disconnect units (BDUs) thanks to their low ESR, high resistance to heat, and high ripple current capability.
These capacitors are constructed with a conductive polymer and liquid electrolyte. This hybrid structure produces attractive characteristics including low leakage current, and high reliability.
In BMS and BDUs, these features provide a range of benefits including:
