General Description

Dielectric: Polypropylene lm with self-healing dual

metallized electrodes.

Enclosure: UL 94V-0 ame-retardant plastic case and

resin.

Marking: Ink stamped with Aerovox, part number,

capacitance value, nominal DC voltage, and date code,

at a minimum.

Terminals: Tinned copper, terminal sizes and styles

are specied in outline drawings on page 4.

Ripple Current: The Maximum Rms current is the

maximum current owing through the capacitor at

Resistance to Solder Heat:

Test Conditions

Solder Temperature 260°C ±5.0°C

Test Duration 10 seconds ±1 s

Performance Requirements:

Capacitance Delta of < 2.0%

Accelerated Pulse Handling Capability:

Test Conditions:

A capacitor under test will be charged through an

impedance of a magnitude greater than the discharging

impedance. The capacitor under test will be charged to

the rated DC voltage and discharged through an imped-

ance capable of producing a minimum voltage gradi-

ent with time (DV/DT). The test will be performed in

accordance with the requirements for the voltage

gradient multiplier and charge and discharge cycles as

listed below.

Voltage Gradient Multiplier Test Cycles

6x 100

4x 1000

2x 1 million

Example:

An RBPS part rated 1.0 uF 1,000 VDC has a DV/DT

rating of 600 volts per microsecond. This part would

be capable of withstanding 100 cycles at a minimum

of 3,600 volts/microsecond, 1000 cycles at 2,400 volts/

microsecond, or 1 million cycles at 1,200 volts/micro-

second.

Performance Criteria After Testing

Capacitance Delta < 3%

ESR Absolute value < 150% of

original measured value

RoHS Compliant

Type RBPS IGBT Snubber Capacitor Modules

Why Use Snubber Capacitors?

With the evolution of power technology, new higher

speed Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) make

it possible for high power converters to operate up to 10

kHz or more. IGBTs are replacing the slower Darling-

ton transistors, simplifying circuit design and reducing

cost. IGBT power modules are now being designed

into AC and DC motor drive inverters, uninterruptible

power systems, electric vehicles and alternate energy

production systems.

Power systems containing IGBTs must be designed so

the transient voltages caused by the hi di/dt that occurs

at gate turn off is minimized. Left uncontrolled, this

transient voltage can exceed the blocking voltage rating

of the IGBT and cause it to fail. To reduce the tran-

sient voltage, either di/dt or the parasitic DC bus induc-

tance of the power circuit must be reduced. This is best

achieved by decoupling the parasitic bus inductance us-

ing a non-inductive wound lm capacitor mounted as

near as possible to the IGBT module terminals.

Snubber capacitors, constructed of polypropylene lm

dielectric and dual metallized lm electrodes, are the

optimal capacitor design for IGBT applications. While

lm/foil capacitors are often used because of their su-

perior current carrying capability, they fail in a short

circuit mode, which may cause damage to the IGBT

module. Aerovox’s snubber capacitors combine high

current carrying capability with low inductance, low

dielectric losses and capacitance stability across a wide

frequency range. They offer the self-healing property

of metallized lm (not failing in a short circuit mode)

with the high peak current carrying capability (dv/dt) of

lm/foil construction.

Aerovox’s snubber capacitors, manufactured with poly-

propylene m and dual metallized electrodes, available

with direct IGBT module terminals, radial wire leads,

or a unique printed circuit board dual in-line pin mount,

provide the highest electrical performance of any snub-

ber capacitors currently available.
