General Purpose, Pulse and DC Transient Suppression
R73 Series Polypropylene Film/Foil, Radial
Overview
Applications
The R73 Series is a capacitor with polypropylene film and metal
foil or metallized film and metal foil electrodes. The capacitor
is encapsulated in self-extinguishing resin in a box of material
meeting the requirements of UL 94 V–0.
Typical applications include deflection circuits in televisions
(flyback tuning), switching spikes suppression in switched mode
power supply (SMPS), snubber and silicon-controlled rectifier
(SCR) commutation circuits, and switching circuits in electronic
ballasts, as well as applications with high voltage and very high
current.
