Panasonic Industry Europe releases Safety-rated Automotive Film Capacitors

ECQUA series enables designs of high safety and high reliability

Munich, September 2018: The new AEC-Q200 qualified ECQUA (Class X2-rated) series (Metallized Polypropylene Film Capacitors) from Panasonic Industry Europe benefits from Panasonic’s original in-house patterned metallization process with fuse mechanism function. This unique technology delivers stable capacitance level over the product lifetime and therefore guarantees a higher reliability of the application.

This series features an operating temperature range of -40°C up to 110°C, a rated voltage of 275V.AC extendable to 305 V.AC for short periods, and a nominal capacitance range of 0.1µF up to 4.7µF. A flame-retardant plastic case and non-combustible resin are utilized leading to accreditation in accordance with UL/CSA and European safety regulation for class X2. All the products are fully RoHS and REACH compliant.

ECQUA series capacitors offer a guaranteed high humidity resistance (THB test: 85°C, 85%, 240V.AC, 1000 hours) and high thermal shock resistance (-40°C ⇔ 85°C, 1000 cycles).

Functioning as interference suppression capacitors, ECQUA series is ideal for a broad spectrum of applications including input / output filtering for charging stations or the input side of On-Board chargers, industrial power supplies, the range of EV / PHEV applications and renewable energy infrastructure.

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
