TDK launches MKP DC capacitors for SiC electronics - Bisinfotech

TDK introduces the B25696H series of MKP DC high-frequency film capacitors tailored for next-generation SiC-based power electronics. With capacitance values ranging from 47 µF to 1280 µF and rated DC ... Read original →

TDK’s new MKP DC-link capacitors aren’t just components—they’re enablers for SiC’s high-frequency promise. By slashing parasitic inductance to ~30 nH and ESR below 1 mΩ, they directly mitigate voltage overshoot that otherwise throttles SiC switching above 50 kHz. This forces upstream dielectric suppliers to innovate in high-temp polypropylene films while accelerating downstream adoption in 800V EVs and multi-MW energy storage. Geopolitically, Japan’s dominance in precision passive devices gains strategic weight, yet exposure to China’s power electronics market poses risk if U.S.-led export controls expand beyond logic nodes into wide-bandgap manufacturing tools. Competitors like Vishay will likely counter with hybrid or stacked-film architectures within 12 months. Expect these ultra-low-inductance caps to become non-negotiable in next-gen converters, igniting a race in co-simulation software ecosystems—where TDK’s CapThermal is just the opening move.
