EMI suppression capacitors superior robustness in challenging environments

Rutronik now offers the F340 Y2 interference suppression film capacitors from Vishay. Certified in accordance with ENEC, CSA, CQC and UL for Safety and Humidity Robustness, the AEC-Q200-qualified Y2-class EMI suppression capacitors at 305VAC rated voltage provide outstanding performance in very harsh environments (THB Grade IIIB acc. IEC 60384-14: 2013 ed.4 / AMD1: 2016, withstanding 85C/85 RH/1.000h at URAC). The Automotive Grade components are appropriate for operation up to 125C for a limited time and for common mode filtering in DC buses up to 1500VDC. As a result, they are ideal for EMI filtering in automotive and industrial power electronic applications under very harsh environmental conditions.

The capacitor series is designed for a rated voltage of 305VAC and provides a capacitance range from 0.01µF to 1µF. Furthermore, the capacitors can be used with DC voltages up to 1,500VDC at +85C and 1,000VDC at +105C. The film capacitors use polypropylene film as a dielectric and are installed in a flame-retardant plastic housing sealed with epoxy resin and tested in accordance with UL class 94V-0.

They are RoHS-compliant, lead-free and are predestined for applications under particularly harsh conditions, such as in automotive BEV/PHEV applications (OBC, e-Compressors, Heating Systems, Traction Inverter) or renewable energy inverters, industrial motor drives, UPS systems, or other standard line bypass Y2 applications.

Application examples include the automotive industry, OBC, HVAC e-compressors, inverters for renewable energies, UPS, systems, and Industrial motor drives.
