Polypropylene Pulse/High Frequency Capacitors
R73, Polypropylene Film/Foil, Radial
(Automotive Grade)
Overview
The R73 Series is constructed of polypropylene film and metal
foil or metallized film and metal foil with radial leads of tinned
wire. 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 94
V–0 requirements. Two different winding constructions
are used depending on voltage parameters. Please see
the Performance Characteristics for more information.
Automotive grade devices (up to lead spacing 22.5 mm) meet
the demanding Automotive Electronics Council's AEC–Q200
qualification requirements.
Applications
Typical applications include resonant circuit, high frequency
high current, snubber and silicon-controlled rectifier
(SCR and IGBT) and SiC (e.g. MOSFET) commutation
circuits as well as applications with high voltage and high
current. Not suitable for across-the-line application
(see Suppressor Capacitors).
