Samsung Electro-Mechanics announced that it has developed the world’s largest multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) for electric vehicles. The company plans to expand its high-end electronics lineup to accelerate its penetration into the automotive electronics market.
Note: MLCC can keep current in the circuit stable, and is mostly used in smartphones, personal computers, home appliances, 5G devices and Internet of Things devices. With the introduction of various advanced technologies, the use of MLCCs in automobiles is also proliferating.
According to recent estimates, there are at least 3,000 to 10,000 MLCC components in a car, such as its powertrain, safety components, driving-related equipment and infotainment systems.
According to reports, the MLCC developed by Samsung Electro-Mechanics is developed as a component for electric vehicles. It is 33nF (125 degrees Celsius) at 250V and 10µF (125 degrees Celsius) at 100V. As a result, MLCCs can now handle the highest capacitance in the industry among MLCCs at the same voltage.
