Today, the adoption of electric vehicles for both consumer and commercial purposes is growing rapidly. By 2023, EVs will account for 17 percent of global vehicle sales. For EV designers and purchasing agents, this drive toward increased electrification poses the challenge of finding high-quality components that can withstand rising temperatures, voltages, and power without sacrificing reliability, availability, and footprint.
Multilayer Ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) are commonly used in EV electronics and subsystems due to their high temperature ratings, small size, and easy surface mounting feature. To help you choose the right automotive-grade capacitors for your EV project, this white paper discusses key considerations and certifications for EV components, common use cases in EV subsystems, and capacitor requirements for specific applications.
