The Vishay product portfolio includes capacitors based on polyester, polypropylene, and high-temperature PEN dielectrics. The new Vishay BCcomponents MKP 339 series of X2 RFI capacitors features capacitance values from 0.001 µF to 4.7 µF. Quality and reliability approvals include IEC 60384-14 2nd edition and EN 132400, UL, CSA, and CQC. Available capacitance tolerances are ±20% and ±10%. MKP 339 capacitors are offered in case sizes that are smaller than those previously available. In addition, the height profile of products with C-values greater than 100 nF is reduced by 1 mm to 2 mm. As a result, the capacitors are especially useful in applications where board space is limited and mounting height is restricted. The boxed MMKP 383 series capacitors are based on a double metallized electrode design that utilizes a polypropylene dielectric and meets performance grade 1 (long life standards). These devices are very well suited for electronic lighting ballasts and resonance applications. Features include a capacitance range from 470 pF to 2.7 µF, high pulse load, and high current capabilities with rated voltages up to 2500 Vdc and 900 Vac respectively. The small dimensions and low-profile design of the capacitors make them ideal for electronic ballast applications. MMKP 383 capacitors are available in loose packaging or tape-on-reel in 15 mm, 22.5 mm, and 27.5 mm, as well as 7.5-mm bent back pitch. In new automotive lighting systems, xenon HID lamps are used to provide enhanced driver safety and comfort. Vishay’s MKN 312 capacitors have the specifications needed to activate xenon bulbs, including capacitance value from 70 nF to 120 nF, rated voltage of 800 Vdc, and pulse load of 25000 V/µs, and operate reliably in high-temperatures up to 150 °C. The capacitors are based on the new PEN film technology that enables exceptional performance at high temperatures. Increasing emphasis on caring for the environment and reducing energy consumption has resulted in increased usage of compact florescent lamps (CFLs). Vishay offers a dedicated range of MKT 365-367 film capacitors for use in standard CFLs. For high-performance CFLs, Vishay offers the MKN 4719 series of capacitors, which is suitable for usage at temperatures above 125 °C. Many Vishay products are designed to fulfill the RoHS directives issued by the European Union (Directive 2002/95/EC). The products described in this brochure are completely RoHS-compliant and suitable for usage in lead (Pb)-free soldering processes.
