Philips Components Product specification
Miniature ceramic plate capacitors Class 1, 1000 V (DC)
(flanged types)
FEATURES
•High reliability
•High-frequency circuits
•High stability
•Space saving
•High temperature circuits
•Professional circuits.
APPLICATIONS
In a great variety of electronic circuits,
e.g. in filters and tuning circuits where
stability and low losses are a
requirement. Because of their small
size the capacitors are suitable for
use in circuitry with high component
density such as SMPS.
DESCRIPTION
The capacitors consist of a thin
rectangular ceramic plate, both sides
of which are metallized, and tinned
connecting leads are secured using a
high melting point solder. The
capacitors are encapsulated in epoxy
lacquer, which is resistant to all
commonly used cleaning solvents.
They have small dimensions and
narrow tolerances on the lead
spacing. The leads are provided with
a flange, which guarantees that the
leads are free of lacquer, and its
shape allows soldering gasses to
escape freely, ensuring excellent
solderability. This makes the
capacitors suitable for both
hand-mounting and automatic
insertion. The electrical properties are
characterized by low losses, a narrow
tolerance on capacitance
(±0.25 pF or 5%), high stability and,
owing to the absence of silver, an
extremely good DC behaviour.
