TDK introduces ModCap UHP for high-current DC link applications with +105 °C operation without derating

January 15, 2026

January 15, 2026

TDK Corporation (TSE: 6762) announces the new ModCap UHP (B25648A) series of DC link capacitors, setting a new benchmark for power electronic applications. ‘UHP’ stands for ‘Ultra-High Performance’, and this series enables continuous operation at hotspot temperatures of up to +105 °C without power derating. Compared to previous ModCap generations, which required derating starting at +90 °C, the new design enables higher current density and a longer lifetime in challenging conditions.

By combining a new high-temperature dielectric with a modular design, the ModCap UHP series extends the lifetime of capacitors … Read More → "TDK introduces ModCap UHP for high-current DC link applications with +105 °C operation without derating"
