From 1st December 2013 onwards, standard newly manufactured ELECTRONICON capacitors of the PFCPower Factor Correction and Power Electronics ranges which are routine-checked on testtest is test rigs with integrated labeling facilities are being provided with a modified data matrix code.
The extended matrix code is composed in the DATAMATRIX? ECC 200 standard and can be scanned and utilized by the user as well. It allows for complete product traceability by means of biunique identification of
(1)the testtest is test results (9…12 digit testtest is test ID)
(2)the manufacturing batch (9 digit production order no.)
(3)the product code (12…18 digit ELECTRONICON product code without "." and "-")
In particular, the following parts are affected by this change:
(1)all capacitors from series 275…280 except terminal design "D"
(2)all capacitors from series E50, E53, E55
(3)all sticker-labelled capacitors from series E62, E63 and E65
(4)parts of the E51 and E54 series
We are convinced that this extension enhances the safetyClass X capacitors are used in "across-the-line" applications where their failure would not lead to electric shock. Class X safety caps are used between the "live" wires carrying the incoming AC current. In this position, a capacitor failure should not cause any electrical shock hazards, rather, a capacitor failure "between-the-lines" would usually cause a fuse or circuit breaker to open. of our processes and is in the best interest of our customers. This modification does not refer to capacitors with bespoke labeling.
