Capacitor packaging accessories information

What are package capacitors?

As of today, the majority of package capacitors are discrete components that directly mount on the surface of the substrate, module or motherboard. Figure 1 shows an example of various capacitor components and their locations in a typical package.

Where are capacitors located in a typical package?

Figure 1 shows an example of various capacitor components and their locations in a typical package. On the substrate, capacitors are attached on the land side under the die shadow (land-side capacitor: LSC) or adjacent to the die side (die-side capacitor: DSC), where they are used for the reduction of the impedance at high frequency.

What is a capacitor kit?

Capacitors are components used to store an electric charge. Capacitor kits are ideal for design engineers, lab technicians, hobbyists and beginners as they contain an array of different types and specifications of the capacitor. Supplied in convenient compartmentalized packaging for quick reference and easy identification.

Can commercial capacitors be used as DC-BUS capacitors for EV traction inverters?

In this article, several commercial capacitor technologies are considered for use as dc-bus capacitors for EV traction inverters. They are characterized, evaluated, and compared for optimized design for volume reduction.

Can film capacitors be used for EV traction inverters?

Film capacitors are typically used, but other capacitor technologies with higher energy densities can help reduce the overall size. In this article, several commercial capacitor technologies are considered for use as dc-bus capacitors for EV traction inverters.

What are packaging technologies standardized by size?

Some packaging technologies have been standardized by size, like the case sizes for rectangular passive components. With dimensional information built into the nomenclature, engineers can quickly and easily grasp the size difference between a 5025 and a 0201 capacitor without even seeing them.
