Overview
The TDK datasheet presents information on their Metallized Polyester Film Capacitors (MKT), specifically the B32520 B32529 series. These capacitors are designed for general-purpose applications and are part of EPCOS AG’s product lineup, a TDK Group Company.
Applications
Typical applications for these capacitors include:
– Blocking
– Coupling and decoupling uses
– Bypass functions
– RFI suppression in automotive applications
Climatic and Temperature Specifications
These capacitors can operate at a maximum temperature of 125 °C and fall under the climatic category of 55/125/56 as per IEC 60068-1.2013 standards.
Construction Details
Constructed with a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) dielectric, the series utilizes either stacked-film or wound capacitor technology. Various lead spacings are available, ranging from 5 mm to 37.5 mm, contingent on the capacitor type. The case and sealing are made from materials rated UL 94 V-0 for safety against flammability.
Features and Benefits
Key features of these capacitors include:
– High pulse strength for robust performance
– High contact reliability ensuring a stable connection
– RoHS compliance, attesting to the environmental consideration in manufacturing
– Availability of halogen-free capacitors upon request
– AEC-Q200 compliance, denoting suitability for automotive quality standards
The terminals are parallel wire leads with lead-free tinned finishing, and special lead lengths can be requested based on application needs.
Marking and Packaging
The capacitors are marked with the manufacturer’s logo, rated capacitance, tolerance, rated DC voltage, manufacture date, and series/lot number for larger lead spacings. Packaging options include bulk (untaped) or taped for automated processing, with further details available in a separate taping and packing chapter.
