Type 716P
Vishay Sprague
Polypropylene Film Capacitors
High Performance, ORANGE DROP®
Type 716P ORANGE DROP® is a high
performance version of the popular Type 715P. It
is made from polyproplyene and foil with copper
leads for the ultimate in high pulse current and high
rms current capabillity. It is a pressed unit for better
utilization of board space.
The 200 V, 400 V and 600 V ratings are single section,
extended foil units allowing for high frequency, high current
applications. The 800 V, 1200 V and 1600 V ratings are
series-wound extended foil with a floating metalized common
foil with provides self-healing characteristics in addition to
high frequency, high current capabilities.
Capacitance change with temperature is less than 3 % over
the entire operating temperature range. The temperature
coefficient is negative and virtually linear at 180 ppm/°C over
the temperature range of + 25 °C to + 105 °C. This
characteristics means the Type 716P is suitable for matching
with positive TC resistors and inductors to maintain circuit
stability.
Type 716P ORANGE DROP® capacitors are conformally
coated with a flame retardant epoxy.
PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
Operating Temperature: - 55 °C to + 85 °C, standard;
+ 105 °C provided working voltage is reduced to 50 % of
+ 85 °C rating
Insulation Resistance: After a 2 minute charge at rated
voltage or 500 V, whichever is less
At + 25 °C: 400 000 Megohm for C ≤ 0.5 Microfarads
200 000 Megohm - Microfarads for C > 0.5 Microfarads
At + 85 °C: 20 000 Megohm for C ≤ 0.5 Microfarads
10000 Megohm - Microfarads for C > 0.5 Microfarads
At + 105 °C: 2000 Megohm for C ≤ 0.5 Microfarads
1000 Megohm - Microfarads for C > 0.5 Microfarads
Capacitance, Tolerance and Dissipation Factor:
Capacitors shall be measured at a frequency of 1000 Hz at
+ 25 °C or else be referred to measurements made at that
frequency and temperature. The maximum dissipation factor
is 0.1 %.
Dielectric Withstanding Voltage:
Capacitors rated below 1000 volts shall withstand a DC
potential of 250 % of rated voltage applied between terminals
for not more than 5 seconds.
Capacitors rated 1000 volts and above shall withstand a DC
potential of 200 % of rated voltage applied between the
terminals for not more than 5 seconds. The test voltage must
be applied and discharged through a resistor of 1 ohm per
volt.
Humidity Test: Condition capacitors with no voltage applied
for 72 hours at 95 % relative humidity and 75 °C. Remove
capaitors from humidity chamber, wipe surface dry of
moisture and dry in circulating air for 4 hours. Measure
insulation resistance after a 2 minute charge at + 25 °C and
rated voltage or 500 VDC, whichever is less. Minimum
product of insulation resistance and capacitance shall be
50 000 Megohm - Microfarads after test but need not exceed
100 000 Megohm. Not more than one failure in 12 units
tested shall be permitted.
DC Life Test: Capacitors are capable of withstanding a
500 hour life test at + 85 °C at 150 % or rated working
voltage. After test, capacitance shall not have changed by
more than 5 % of initial value, insulation resistance shall not
have decreased by more than 50 % of the initial limit and
dissipation factor shall not have increased to more than
0.1 %.
AC Life Test: Capacitors shall withstand the maximum
60 Hz voltage for a period of 500 hours at + 85 °C.
Not more than one failure allowed in 12 units tested.
