Polyester Capacitors
Filmite® “E”, ORANGE DROP®, Radial Lead
FEATURES
•Utilizes minimum area where printed wiring
board space is most important
•Wound from PETP polyester film and thin gauge
foil under carefully controlled atmospheric
conditions
•Protected against moisture by a conformal coating of
epoxy
•Specifically designed for printed wiring board applications
•Widely used in computers, instrumentation and
telecommunications equipment
•100 VDC through 600 VDC, may be operated up to
+ 125 °C with proper dearting
PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
Operating Temperature: - 55 °C to + 85 °C
To + 105 °C when working voltage is reduced to 70 % of
+ 85 °C rating; to + 125 °C when 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: 100 000 Megohm for C ≤ 0.25 Microfarads
25000 Megohm - Microfarads for C > 0.25 Microfarads
At + 85 °C: 10 000 Megohm for C ≤ 0.15 Microfarads
1500 Megohm - Microfarads for C > 0.15 Microfarads
At + 105 °C: 1500 Megohm for C ≤ 0.17 Microfarads
250 Megohm - Microfarads for C > 0.17 Microfarads
At + 125 °C: 200 Megohm for C ≤ 0.13 Microfarads
25 Megohm - Microfarads for C > 0.13 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
shall be 0.75 %
Dielectric Withstanding Voltage:
Capacitors shall withstand a DC potential of 250 % of rated
voltage applied between 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 capacitors 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 5000 Megohm - Microfarads after
test but need not exceed 10 000 Megohm. Not more than
one failure allowed in 12 units tested.
DC Life Test:
Capacitance are capable of withstanding a 500 hour life test
at + 85 °C at 150 % of 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 1 %.
