NEW DOUBLE-SIDED, METALLIZED, POLYPROPYLENE FILM CAPACITOR
27 November 2002 - Vishay Electronic

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. announces the release of a miniaturized, metallized, polypropylene film capacitor designed to perform in high-voltage, high-current, and high-pulse operations at high frequencies. Specified for broad voltage and capacitance ranges, the Vishay Roederstein MKP1841-M is suitable for a variety of applications including S-correction and fly-back tuning, input and output filtering in SPS designs, and protection circuits in switchmode power supplies, snubbers, and electronic ballast circuits.

Specified for broad voltage and capacitance ranges, the Vishay Roederstein MKP1841-M is suitable for a variety of applications including S-correction and fly-back tuning, input and output filtering in SPS designs, and protection circuits in switchmode power supplies, snubbers, and electronic ballast circuits.

With competitive pricing and worldwide availability, the MKP1841-M offers designers a small, reliable, high-performing, and readily available capacitor for end products including TV sets and monitors, power supplies, and energy-saving lamps.

The new capacitor is available in small sizes, ranging from 4.0 mm wide by 10.0 mm long with a 9.0-mm height up to 18.0 mm by 41.5 mm with a 32.5-mm height, depending on capacitance and voltage ratings. Lead-spacing options range from 7.5 mm to 37.5 mm.

The MKP1841-M features 25 capacitance options in a range from 470 pF to 4.7 µF, capacitance tolerances of ±5%, ±10%, and ±20%, and voltage options of 250 VDC, 400 VDC, 630 VDC, 1000 VDC, 1600 VDC, and 2000 VDC. The device's maximum pulse rise time ranges from 133 V/µs up to 9610 V/µs, depending on lead spacing and voltage rating.

Packaged in a flame-retardant plastic case with an epoxy resin seal, the MKP1841-M features exceptional self-healing capabilities, environmentally friendly lead (Pb)-free schooping layers and terminals, and vacuum-deposited aluminum electrodes. The MKP1841-M provides high reliability with an operational life of >300,000 hours, and a failure rate of <2 FIT at 40°C. The capacitor, which is rated for an operating temperature range of -55°C to +100°C, meets IEC test classification 55/100/56, according to IEC 60068, and is suitable for use with any other product from Vishay.

Samples and production quantities of the MKP1841-M are available now, with 10- to 12-week lead times for larger orders.
