General Purpose, Pulse and DC Transient Suppression
A50 Series Metallized Polyester Film, Axial, 50 – 1,000 VDC
(Automotive Grade)
Overview
The A50 Series is constructed of metallized polyester film
(wound technology) with axial leads of tinned wire. Axial leads
are electrically welded to the contact metal layer on the ends of
the capacitor winding. The capacitor is encapsulated in polyester
tape wrapping with thermosetting resin end filled.
Automotive grade devices are available and meet the demanding
Automotive Electronics Council's AEC–Q200 qualification
requirements.
Applications
Typical applications include blocking, coupling, decoupling,
bypassing and interference suppression in low voltage
applications such as automotive. Not suitable for across-the-line
application (see Suppressor Capacitors).
