Y2 capacitors operate at high temperatures
Designed for interference suppression at high operating temperatures, the MKP-Y2 capacitors are available from Epcos. In contrast to conventional models designed for a maximum operating temperature of 110 degrees C, the B3202 H/J series capacitors offer a maximum permissible operating temperature of 125 degrees C.
The B3202 H/J capacitors range from 1 nF to 1 microF with a maximum rated voltage of 300V AC. Even under harsh environmental conditions, the capacitors offer a stable capacitance value, says Epcos. This is proven by the thermal humidity bias test with boundary conditions 85 degrees C, 85 per cent relative humidity and a 240V AC operating voltage for 500 hours.
The capacitors are certified according to IEC 60384-14:2013/AMD1:2016 and approved according to AEC-Q200D, UL, and EN. Depending on the capacitance, the products are available in lead spacing of 10mm (B32021H/J), 15mm (B32022H/J), 22.5mm (B32023H/J), 27.5mm (B32024H/J) and 37.5mm (B32026H/J). The housing corresponds to UL94V-0.
Typical application areas for the B3202 H/J Y2 capacitors include interference suppression in filters and at high operating temperatures, such as automotive applications.
