METALLIZED POLYPROPYLENE
SERIES 1213
EFC Series 1213 are metallized polypropylene capacitors. This series offers the advantage
of superior stability, self healing, high insulation resistance, low dissipation factor and high
frequency operation. Suggested applications include: timing circuits, switch mode power
supplies (SMPS). Packaging options include: wrap and fill (TF, TC), radial lead box (EFR),
axial lead (EC, EF). Application options include: switching power supply (SP).
SPECIFICATIONS
4. INSULATION RESISTANCE
1. TEMPERATURE RANGE
At 25 OC after 2 minutes charge time at rated voltage
or 500 VDC, whichever is less, the minimum IR shall
be 80,000 Megohm-Microfarads, but need not exceed
120,000 Megohms.
- 55 OC to + 85 OC at rated voltage.
To 105 OC with 25% voltage derating.
2. CAPACITANCE
Capacitors < 1.0 MFD shall be measured
_
at 1 KHz + 20 HZ. Capacitors >1.0 MFD
5. HUMIDITY RESISTANCE
Series 1213 shall meet the requirements
of MIL-STD. 202C, Method 103B.
shall be measured at 60 HZ. Measurements
shall be taken at 25 OC.
3. DIELECTRIC STRENGTH
At 25 OC, 150% of rated voltage when applied
terminal to terminal for one minute through a
current limiting resistance.
6. DISSIPATION FACTOR
Shall be 0.1 % max. when measured as in Par. 2.
7. LIFE TEST
Will withstand the application of 150% rated voltage at +850C for 250 hours
with not more than one failure in 12 permitted.
