AVX’s polypropylene dielectric DC Link Film Capacitor Series

AVX Corporation has introduced a line of polypropylene dielectric DC link film capacitors. Designated the FB Series, the 2-leaded capacitors feature a voltage rating of 550-1200 and a capacitance range from 0.68-75 µF, are RoHS compliant and are available in a range of case sizes containing over 100 new ratings. Suitable applications for the series include DC power supplies and inverters for solar power, electric drive and industrial power systems.

The FB Series DC link capacitors combine low loss film technology with the self-healing properties of the dielectric to ensure long lifetimes and low thermal losses in power applications. It also features comprehensive capacitance/voltage ratings up to 1.2 kV.

Rated for use from -40 to +100°C, the FB Series DC link film capacitors are available in 14 case sizes with three standard lead pitch options: 27.5, 37.5 and 52.5 mm.
