General Purpose, Pulse and DC Transient Suppression
A50 Series Metallized Polyester Film, Axial, 50 – 1,000 VDC
(Commercial & 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.
In addition to commercial grade, automotive grade devices
are available and 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 for use in "series with
mains" type applications.
