VISHAY, represented by Braemac , has announced the release of a new series of compact, lead (Pb)-free electromagnetic interference suppression film capacitors that combine a wide range of capacitance values with pitch sizes down to 7.5mm.
Suitable for filters, power supplies, and mains applications, capacitors in the Vishay Bccomponents 339 X2 series have IEC 60384-14 (2nd edition) and EN 132400 approvals for X2 suppression.
The new 339 X2 series offers capacitance values ranging from 0.001µF to 4.7µF with tolerances rated at either ±10% or ±20%.
Case sizes at many capacitance values are smaller than those of previously available devices, while the height of 339 X2 capacitors with values greater than 100nF is lowered by between 1mm and 2mm. As a result, the capacitors are suitable for applications where board space is limited and mounting height is restricted.
Lead pitch for the capacitors ranges from 7.5mm to 27.5mm.
Capacitors in the 339 X2 series are constructed using a low inductive wound cell of metallised polypropylene film potted in a flame-retardant case made of material that is qualified in accordance with UL94V-O. Maximum operating temperature for the components is 105°C.
All of the new devices have a rated voltage of 275V ac at 50/60Hz, with maximum permissible dc voltage specified as 630V dc. The capacitors can be supplied loose in a box or taped in ammo pack or reel format.
