Class 1 and 2: 55/125/21

Class 3: 30/85/21

APPROVALS

EIA 198

IEC 60384-9

DESIGN

• The capacitors consist of a general purpose MLCC

• The lead wires are 0.5 mm and are made of 100 % tinned

copper clad steel wire

• The capacitors may be supplied with straight or kinked

leads having a lead spacing of 2.5 mm and 5.0 mm

• Coating is made of yellow colored flame retardant epoxy

resin in accordance with UL 94 V-0

CAPACITANCE RANGE

10 pF to 1 μF

TOLERANCE ON CAPACITANCE

± 5 %, ± 10 %, ± 20 %, + 80 %/- 20 %

RATED VOLTAGE

50 VDC, 100 VDC, 200 VDC, 500 VDC

TEST VOLTAGE

• 50 VDC and 100 VDC: 250 % of rated voltage

• 200 VDC: 150 % of rated voltage + 100 VDC

• 500 VDC: 130 % of rated voltage + 100 VDC

INSULATION RESISTANCE AT 500 VDC

• 50 VDC and 100 VDC: 100 G or 1000 F whichever is less

at rated voltage within 2 min of charging

• 200 VDC and 500 VDC: 10 G or 100 F whichever is less

at rated voltage within 2 min of charging

DISSIPATION FACTOR

Class 1

0.1 % max. when C

 30 pF

(at 1 MHz; 1 V where C

 1000 pF, and at

1 kHz; 1 V where C > 1000 pF)

For C < 30 pF: DF = 100/(400 + 20 x C)



DF = Dissipation factor in %;



C = Capacitance value in pF

Class 2

2.5 % max. (at 1 kHz; 1 V)

Class 3

5 % max. (at 1 kHz; 1 V)
