IREN proposes $875 million convertible notes offering due 2031
MALVERN, Pa. - Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE:VSH), a $2 billion market cap component manufacturer with a strong current ratio of 2.7, has launched a new AEC-Q200 qualified DC-Link metallized polypropylene film capacitor designed for automotive, energy, and industrial applications. The company, which has maintained dividend payments for 12 consecutive years, currently appears overvalued according to InvestingPro analysis.
The Vishay Roederstein MKP1848e operates at temperatures up to +125°C and delivers ripple current up to 44.5 A. It withstands temperature humidity bias in accordance with Grade III of IEC60384-16 ed.3 standards.
The capacitor offers rated capacitance from 1 µF to 140 µF and low ESR down to 1.0 mΩ, with rated voltages from 500 VDC to 1300 VDC. According to the company, it provides 25% higher ripple current density than previous-generation solutions with the same volume.
For electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle applications, the component withstands operating voltages from 250 VDC to 800 VDC at +125°C for a limited time. It can also endure 1000 temperature cycles from -40°C to +125°C.
The company states the capacitor’s compact footprint and pitch options down to 22.5 mm enable volume reductions up to 40% and 15%, respectively, at 500 VDC and 900 VDC.
Potential applications include on-board chargers, power trains, HVAC systems, e-compressors, and DC/DC converters in automotive settings, as well as fast chargers, solar inverters, and battery storage systems in energy and industrial environments.
Samples and production quantities of the MKP1848e are currently available with lead times of 10 weeks, according to the press release statement.
