General Purpose, Pulse and DC Transient Suppression
A50 Series Metallized Polyester Film,
Axial, 50 – 1,000 VDC, (Automotive Grade)
Overview
The A50 Series is constructed of metallized polyester film
(wound technology) with axial leads of tinned wire. Axial
leads are electrically welded to the contact metal layer
on the ends of the capacitor winding. The capacitor is
encapsulated in polyester tape wrapping with thermosetting
resin end filled.
Automotive grade devices meet the demanding Automotive
Electronics Council's AEC–Q200 qualification requirements.
Applications
Typical applications include blocking, coupling, decoupling,
bypassing and interference suppression in low voltage
applications such as automotive. Not suitable for across-
the-line application (see Suppressor Capacitors).
