The PCST50T40J475S is a harmonic-rated, metallized polypropylene film capacitor designed for AC input filtering and harmonic reduction in power conversion systems. It has a rated voltage of 500 Vac, a capacitance of 40 µF with ±5% tolerance, and uses an aluminum case with a stud terminal. The capacitor measures 2.5 inches in diameter and 4.75 inches in height, with M6x1 threaded tin-plated brass terminals. It operates from -40 ºC to +70 ºC, supports a maximum RMS current of 85 A, and is rated for 60,000 hours of service life with a 94% survival rate. The part is cULus recognized under File Number E71645 and includes a pressure interrupter for safe open-circuit failure mode. Maximum permissible voltage is 110% of rated RMS, and maximum short circuit current is 10 kA per UL 810.
Power Film Ac Applications / Harmonic Filtering Capacitors / 1 Phase
Type PC capacitors are designed to meet the demands of filter applications rich in system total harmonic distortion (THD). This series has a dual protection system utilizing self healing metallized polypropylene and a mechanical pressure interrupter to ensure a safe open circuit mode in the event of overload or end of life.
