BC Components Product specification
Ceramic disc capacitors Class 2, low loss (0.5% max.)
1 kV, 2 kV and 3 kV
FEATURES
•High reliability
•Low losses
•High capacitance in small size
•Kinked (preferred) or straight leads.
APPLICATIONS
In electronic circuits where low losses
and high capacitance per volume are
essential, for example:
•SMPS
•HF ballast
•Snubber and high voltage circuits.
DESCRIPTION
The capacitors consist of a ceramic
disc both sides of which are
silver-plated. Connection leads are
made of tinned copper having a
diameter of 0.6 mm or 0.8 mm.
The capacitors may be supplied with
outward kinked or straight leads with
a lead spacing of 5 mm (0.200"),
7.5 mm (0.300") or 10 mm (0.400")
and a lead length from 4 to 30 mm.
The standard tolerance on
capacitance is ±10%. Encapsulation
is made of gold coloured epoxy-resin,
flammable resistant in accordance
with
“UL94V-0”
.
