Medium Power Film Capacitors
FE (RoHS Compliant)
The FE series uses a non-impregnated metallized
polypropylene dielectric specially treated to have a very high
dielectric strength in operating conditions up to 100°C.
The FE has been designed for printed circuit board
mounting. FE series performance characteristics make them
a viable alternative to aluminum electrolytic technology due
to much lower ESR and much higher surge voltage
capability (dv/dt).
APPLICATIONS
The FE capacitor is particularly designed for DC filtering, low
reactive power.

PACKAGING MATERIAL
Self-extinguishing plastic case (V0 = in accordance with UL 94)
filled thermosetting resin.
Self-extinguishing thermosetting resin (V0 = in accordance with
UL 94; I3F2 = in accordance with NF F 16-101).
OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE
Operating temperature range: -40ºC to +100ºC
LIFETIME EXPECTANCY
One unique feature of this technology (versus aluminum
electrolytics) is how the capacitor reacts at the end of its
lifetime.
Unlike aluminum electrolytic film capacitors do not have a
catastrophic failure mode. Film capacitors simply experience
a parametric loss of capacitance of about 2% from initial
value, with no risk of short circuit.
The capacitor continues to be functional even after this 2%
decrease.

* Insert K for 10% capacitance tolerance (standard): J = +5% and M = +20% tolerances available on request.
# Insert C for 5.00 (0.197) lead length (standard): L = 15 (0.591) available on request.
Values outside this standard range may be available – please contact AVX for any special requirements.
AVX reserves the right to supply capacitors to a tighter capacitance tolerance or higher voltage rating, in the same case size.
