Printed Circuit Board Mount Power Film Capacitors
C4AF, Radial, 2 or 4 Leads, 250 – 600 VAC,
for Harsh Environment AC Filtering (Automotive Grade)
Overview
Applications
The C4AF capacitor is a polypropylene metallized film
capacitor with a rectangular, plastic box-type design
filled with resin, and uses 2 or 4 tinned wires.
These capacitors are intended to withstand harsh
environmental conditions.
Typical applications include AC and harmonic filtering
in UPS systems, motor drives, renewable energy, and
automotive systems.
Automotive grade devices meet the demanding Automotive
Electronics Council's AEC–Q200 qualification requirements.
Benefits
• C4AF-T High Ripple Current & THB
• C4AF-F Miniaturized & Advanced THB
• Self-healing
• Low loss
• High contact reliability
• Optimized AC voltage performance
• Suitable for high frequency applications
• Able to withstand harsh environmental conditions
• Automotive grades (AEC–Q200)
