General Purpose, Pulse and DC Transient Suppression PFR Polypropylene Film/Foil; Radial

Category: Capacitors, Electronics, Kemet Electronics Corporation

Overview

The PFR Series capacitors from KEMET Electronics Corporation are designed with polypropylene film and metal foil electrodes. They are encapsulated in self-extinguishing resin, conforming to UL 94 V-0 standards, indicating a high level of flame retardancy.

Applications

These capacitors are suited for high-speed applications that require low losses at high frequencies and high dV/dt. Such applications typically include electrical ballasts, televisions, and telecommunications equipment.

Benefits

The capacitors in the PFR Series offer a broad range of features, catering to various electronic needs:

– Rated voltage options from 63 to 1,000 VDC, and 40 to 250 VAC

– Capacitance range from 0.0001 to 0.022 pF

– Lead spacing fixed at 5 mm

– Capacitance tolerance options: ±1%, ±2%, ±2.5%, ±5%, ±10%

– Operates effectively within extreme temperatures ranging from -55°C to +100°C as per the Climatic category (55/100/56) according to IEC 60068-1

– Packaging conforms to IEC 60286-2 standards for tape and reel

– RoHS compliant and has lead-free terminations ensuring environmental safety and compliance.

Legacy Part Number System vs. New KEMET Part Number System

The Legacy Part Number System provides an identification approach utilizing a configuration that encompasses the series designation (PFR), rated voltage, capacitance code (pF), capacitance tolerance, lead spacing, size code, and packaging option. An example is demonstrated by PFR10163J1IL4BULK.

The New KEMET Part Number System refines the identification process by specifying leads spacing, capacitance, capacitance tolerance, rated voltage, capacitor class (F for Film), series, and packaging options. This system’s example is shown as 411H101063.
