Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. Film Capacitors BFC238370183

The Vishay Capacitor PP Film 0.018¬µF, 2.5kV, 5%, Radial is a double metallized polypropylene film capacitor designed for applications requiring reliable performance under high voltage conditions. It features a capacitance of 0.018¬µF with a tolerance of ¬±5%. The capacitor is rated for a DC voltage of 2500V and an AC voltage of 125V, making it suitable for use in environments where steep pulses occur, such as switch mode power supplies and motor control circuits. The component is encapsulated in a flame-retardant plastic case and is available with tinned wire leads, ensuring low contact resistance and compatibility with high-density packaging. It operates effectively within a temperature range of -55¬8C to +105¬8C. The capacitor is compliant with RoHS standards and is supplied either loose in a box or taped on a reel for ease of handling in manufacturing processes. Engineers considering this capacitor should note its robust construction and suitability for demanding electronic applications, particularly where high voltage and reliability are critical.
