This makes them suitable for EMI suppression in input filters – specifically for applications in the North American market – and output filters of photovoltaic inverters, for example.
The capacitance range extends from 0.47-10µF in accordance with the E12 series. Even under severe ambient conditions the new capacitors are characterised by a stable capacitance, as verified in damp heat tests, in which the change in capacitance does not exceed 7.5% (test conditions: 1000 hours at 85°C with a relative humidity of 85% and a voltage of 330VAC). The maximum operating temperature of the components is 110°C.
The X2 capacitors are approved in accordance with UL and EN and, depending on the capacitance, are available with a lead spacing of 27.5mm (B32924*4*) or 37.5mm (B32926*4*). Both the casing and the epoxy resin sealing material comply with the UL 94 V-0 standard.
The capacitors are especially suitable for applications with higher demands in terms of current capability, as well as capacitive power supplies.
