New board level capacitors are self-healing with a flame retardant case

New Yorker Electronics has released two new series of self-healing capacitors from ASC Capacitors. The new BLF (board level filter) and BLS (board level snubber) capacitor series include double-sided metallised polyester film electrodes and are non-inductive wound, yielding no inductance value. The new BLS Series has high-density packaging and is ideal for high frequency, high pulse and high AC voltage applications. It has a consistent shape in a case is flame retardant and also impervious to all known solvents. The series has a dielectric strength of 160% of rated voltage for two seconds, tolerances between ±5% and ±20% and insulation resistances of C<0.33 µF, R=30,000 MEG. OHM @ 20 ±3°C and C=0.33µF, RC=10,000 MEG.OHM X µF. It comes standard in voltages of 630Vdc (400Vac), 1200VDC (600VAC), 1600VDC (650VAC) and 2000VDC (700VAC) with a capacitance range between 0.0022 and 3.3 µF. The new BLF Series is also a metallised polypropylene AC filter capacitor with non-inductive winding. It offers high reliability and enhanced self-healing characteristics with low losses and low ESR. Like the BLS, the BLF has an operating temperature between -40C to +105C. They come standard with voltage ranges of 180V, 275V and 350V. The capacitance range is standard at 1-70µF, with other ratings reviewed on request. The series has a dielectric strength of 160% of rated voltage for two seconds and capacitance tolerances between ±5% and ±20%.
