Using SABIC's ELCRES™ HTV150A ultra-thin dielectric film, the Japanese company Nichicon has produced a capacitor that offers stable performance at high temperatures (up to 150 °C) and voltages (up to 1000 V) for use in AC/DC drive inverters for electric cars. The ELCRES™ HTV150A film capacitor, produced by segmented metallization of the film, has been durability tested at 150°C for 2000 hours and at 130°C for 3600 hours.
