EPCOS B32520/B32529 Metallized Polyester Film Capacitors (MKT) Data
This datasheet describes EPCOS’ B32520/B32529 series Metallized Polyester Film Capacitors, also known as MKT capacitors, which are general-purpose capacitors suitable for applications such as blocking, coupling, decoupling, and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) suppression in automotive electronics. The B32529 series and specific types from the B32520 series have been announced for withdrawal, with their last order and shipment dates listed.
Product Withdrawal Information
The following products from the datasheet are being withdrawn: B3252900335 & B3252900475M, with recommended substitute products being B3252905335* and B3252905474M* respectively. The withdrawal was effective from April 4, 2014, with the deadline for last orders on July 15, 2014, and last shipments scheduled for October 15, 2014.
Product Specifications
The capacitors have a maximum operating temperature of 125°C and comply with the climatic category 55/125/56 as per IEC 60068-1. Dielectric construction consists of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) using either stacked-film or wound capacitor technology. The devices are enclosed in a plastic case and sealed with epoxy resin, both of which meet the UL 94 V-0 standard.
Features and Benefits
These capacitors are characterized by high pulse strength and high contact reliability, with a RoHS-compliant composition. Halogen-free versions are available upon request. The capacitors feature parallel wire leads with lead-free tinned finish, and special lead lengths can be made available. They come in a wide range of dimensions, offering lead spacings from 5 mm to 37.5 mm and lead diameters from 0.5 mm.
Marking and Packaging Options
Capacitors are marked with the manufacturer’s logo, capacitance value, tolerance code, rated DC voltage, date of manufacture, series, and lot number. Delivery can be in bulk or taped form, either as Ammo pack or reel, with details on taping specified in a separate chapter.
Customers affected by the product withdrawal are advised to contact their nearest EPCOS sales office for support in selecting appropriate substitutes. Further contact details are available on the company’s website.
Note: Due to the withdrawal of certain products, the provided specifications and features refer to the remaining active series and types within the B32520/B32529 MKT capacitor range.
