Learn How to Select the Right Automotive-Grade
Ceramic Capacitor for Your EV Applications
Today, electric vehicle (EV) adoption for both consumer and commercial purposes is rapidly growing. In 2023, EVs made up 17 percent of worldwide automobile sales. For EV design engineers and purchasing agents, this drive towards increased electrification results in the challenge of finding cutting-edge components that can handle increasing temperatures, voltage, and power without sacrificing reliability, availability, and footprint.
Multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) are commonly used in EV electronics and subsystems because of their high temperature ratings, tiny size, and easy surface mount form factor. To help you choose the right automotive-grade capacitors for your EV project, this white paper discusses the key considerations and certifications for EV components, common use cases in EV subsystems, and capacitor requirements for specific applications.
