Polypropylene Pulse/High Frequency Capacitors
R73 Series Polypropylene Film/Foil, Radial
(Automotive Grade)
Overview
Applications
TheꢀR73ꢀSeriesꢀisꢀconstructedꢀofꢀpolypropyleneꢀfilmꢀandꢀmetalꢀfoilꢀ
orꢀmetallizedꢀfilmꢀandꢀmetalꢀfoilꢀwithꢀradialꢀleadsꢀofꢀtinnedꢀwire.ꢀ
The radial leads are electrically welded to the metal layer on the
ends of the capacitor winding. The capacitor is encapsulated in a
self-extinguishing solvent resistant plastic case with thermosetting
resin material meeting the UL 94V–0 requirements. Two different
winding constructions are used depending on voltage parameters.
Please see the Performance Characteristics for more information.
Typicalꢀapplicationsꢀincludeꢀdeflectionꢀcircuitsꢀinꢀtelevisionsꢀ
(flybackꢀtuning),ꢀswitchingꢀspikesꢀsuppressionꢀinꢀswitchedꢀmodeꢀ
powerꢀsupplyꢀ(SMPS),ꢀsnubberꢀandꢀsilicon-controlledꢀrectifierꢀ
(SCR) commutation circuits, and switching circuits in electronic
ballasts, as well as applications with high voltage and very
high current. Not suitable for across-the-line application (see
Suppressor Capacitors).
Automotive grade devices are available (up to lead spacing 22.5
mm) and meet the demanding Automotive Electronics Council's
AEC–Q200ꢀqualificationꢀrequirements.ꢀꢀꢀꢀꢀ
