Polypropylene Pulse/High Frequency Capacitors
NOT FOR NEW DESIGN
Applications
Typical applications include timing, oscillator circuits, high
frequency coupling and decoupling applications.
Not suitable for across-the-line application
(see Suppressor Capacitors).

R79, Single Metallized Polypropylene Film, Radial,
5 mm Lead Spacing, Multipurpose Applications
Overview
The R79 Series is constructed of metallized polypropylene
film 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 with a
self-extinguishing thermosetting resin in a box material
meeting the UL 94 V–0 requirements.
