DC Link Capacitors
In electric vehicles (xEV), DC link capacitors are essential to managing the flow of power between systems. DC link capacitors are used to smooth power for stable motor performance, handle energy from regenerative braking, and protect components from surges. Film capacitors are ideal for use as DC link capacitors in electric vehicles due to their superior current-performance resistance, high-frequency characteristics, reliability, and safety.
Nichicon develops and manufactures custom DC link capacitors, noise filter capacitors, snubber capacitors, and filter capacitors for xEV motor drive inverters. We make our power film capacitors using high-reliability polypropylene film metallized at our own facilities, ensuring the highest quality possible.
Automotive companies rate our capacitor modules highly because they can be flexibly configured to match a variety of shapes. As we continue to strengthen our supply system to meet growing demand, now is the perfect time to partner with Nichicon for your xEV power management solutions.

Film Capacitors Engineered for the Demands of xEV
Nichicon film capacitors for xEV deliver superior performance and customability.
Nichicon is trusted in the automotive industry for its high-quality, high-performance film capacitors.
Features
Our film capacitors for xEV possess the excellent electrical characteristics of film capacitors and the flexible appearance and terminal shapes needed for use in vehicles.
The sharp high-frequency characteristics of our film capacitors provide exceptional filtering effects for stable power output and low energy loss.
Our film capacitors are designed to handle high ripple current with impressive capacity and superior current density per unit volume. The robust withstand capability allows for stable operation even under fluctuating load conditions, making them ideal for xEV power applications.
Nichicon’s xEV film capacitors are built to last. You can expect maintenance-free performance for 10 years or more, even in the challenging temperature conditions typical of automotive environments.
Safety and reliability are at the core of Nichicon’s film capacitors. The self-healing design automatically restores functionality after minor dielectric breakdowns, while automatic shutoff features provide added security against electrical faults. We use segmented metallized film, which offers superior self‐healing compared to standard metallization through the use of fuses.
Nichicon’s integrated design philosophy enables film capacitors to support smoothing and filtering applications within xEV systems.
Our custom film capacitors provide exceptional flexibility to designers. Choose from square and cylindrical exterior options and adaptable terminal configurations.
