Vishay Precision Group Mkt 18Nf 5% 400Vdc Pitch 10Mm / Loose, Straight Lead 4 Mm Vishay BFC236956183

The BFC236956183 is a metallized polyester film capacitor designed for applications such as blocking, coupling, bypassing, and energy reservoir functions. It features a capacitance range from 0.001 to 1.0 ¬µF with a tolerance of ¬±10% or ¬±5%. The capacitor is rated for DC voltages of 63 V, 100 V, 250 V, 400 V, and 630 V, and AC voltages of 40 V, 63 V, 160 V, 220 V, and 250 V. Constructed with vacuum deposited aluminum electrodes and a flame-retardant epoxy coating (UL-class 94 V-0), it is suitable for long-life applications with a maximum operating temperature of 105 ¬8C. The climatic category is rated at 55/105/56, indicating its performance in various environmental conditions. The capacitor is available in both taped on reel and loose in box packaging, making it versatile for different assembly processes. Engineers should consider this capacitor for projects requiring reliable performance in a compact form factor, particularly in applications where space and thermal management are critical.
