Polypropylene Pulse/High Frequency Capacitors
R73 Series 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 94V–0 requirements. Two different winding constructions
are used depending on voltage parameters. Please see
the Performance Characteristics for more information.
Automotive grade devices are available (up to lead spacing
22.5 mm) and meet the demanding Automotive Electronics
Council's AEC–Q200 qualification requirements.
Applications
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. Not suitable for across-the-
line application (see Suppressor Capacitors).
