Cornell Dubilier Electronics, Inc. (CDE) has launched its automotive-grade MYH series of Y2 class RFI and EMI suppression capacitors that are designed for harsh environments. These line-to-ground capacitors filter out electromagnetic noise in applications such as motors, automated meter readers, UPS, power supplies, charging systems and appliances.
The AEC-Q200-qualified suppression capacitors meet a 2,000-hour temperature, humidity and bias (THB) life test. The THB test, conducted at 85°C/85% relative humidity at rated voltage, subjected these components to twice the industry standard test hours required to meet IEC 60834, Class III-B for THB, CDE said.
They also passed AEC-Q200 automotive testing. Tests include mechanical shock and vibration, thermal cycling, solvent resistance and solderability, which qualify the capacitors for use in the most demanding industrial, automotive and consumer applications.
These film capacitors are constructed from metallized polypropylene film encapsulated with a self-extinguishing resin and plastic box that meets the UL 94V-0 requirements.
Key specs include a capacitance value range from 0.001 to 1 µF in 29 standard values, at 300 VAC, 50/60Hz. Capacitance tolerance is +/-10% (+/-20% optional). The operating temperature ranges from -40°C to 110°C. The series meets multiple international safety agency approvals, including UL, CSA and VDE for safety and performance in Y2, line-to-ground applications.
The MYH Series capacitors are available now from authorized distributors.
