Product Withdrawal and Replacement Notification
The datasheet communicates the withdrawal of specific Metallized Polyester Film Capacitors (MKT) – Series B32520/B32529 from EPCOS’ product line. The affected ordering codes, B3252900335 and B3252900475M, are being replaced with B3252905335* and B3252905474M* respectively. Dates for the withdrawal and the last periods for orders and shipments are provided, strongly urging customers to contact EPCOS sales offices for alternative products and further assistance.
General Product Information
These capacitors are designed for general-purpose applications such as blocking, coupling, decoupling, bypassing, and RFI filtering in the automotive industry. The operating temperature maximizes at 125°C and the products meet the IEC climatic category of 55/125/56.
Construction and Features
They feature a dielectric made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), with stacked-film technology applicable for lead spacing ranging from 5mm to 15mm, and wound capacitor technology for lead spacing between 10mm to 37.5mm. The components come in a plastic case sealed with epoxy resin, both compliant with UL 94 V-0 standards.
Key Features
The capacitors boast high pulse strength and high contact reliability. They are also RoHS-compatible, with halogen-free options available upon request.
Terminals and Marking
Terminals come as parallel wire leads with lead-free tinning, and special lead lengths can be requested. The components are marked with the manufacturer’s logo, rated capacitance, capacitance tolerance, rated DC voltage, date of manufacture, series, and lot number. The product offers two types of presentation: bulk for untaped packaging and taped for either Ammo pack or reel, with additional information accessible in the chapter titled “Taping and packing.”
Dimension Drawings and Availability
Comprehensive dimensional drawings provide lead spacing and diameters for different types within the series. The availability of products might be subject to change post-withdrawal announcement, and interested parties are advised to check with EPCOS sales network for the latest information.
Customer Guidance
Customers are directed to read “Important notes” at the end of the document for further guidance on product handling and safety considerations.
