High-voltage EMI suppression capacitors

21 January 2009 Circuit & System Protection

Vishay has announced the release of three new X2 electromagnetic interference (EMI) suppression film capacitors with an increased maximum mains voltage of 310 V a.c. and a wide range of lead pitches and capacitance values.

While most standard EMI suppression film capacitors provide a voltage rating of 275 V to 305 V a.c., the new MKP 339 X2, MKP 338 2 X2, and MKP 336 2 X2 devices offer designers an increased voltage rating while continuing to meet safety approvals and maintaining the same compact dimensions.

Utilising the latest film technology to offer lead pitches from 7,5 mm to 27,5 mm, capacitance values from 1 nF to 4,7 μF, and a permissible DC voltage of 630 V, the capacitors are optimised for 50 and 60 Hz applications in power supplies, electronic ballasts, EMI filters, CRT and LCD TVs and monitors, and white goods.

Climate tested according to EN 60068-1 (55/110/56/B), the encapsulation of the devices consists of a flame retardant UL-class 94 V-0 plastic case, which is epoxy resin sealed. Supplied loose in box or taped on ammopack or reel, the lead-free capacitors are RoHS-compliant and feature tinned wire leads.
