Avnet has announced it now stocks the AVX PA FLB Series medium power film capacitor. The capacitor uses a metallized polypropylene dielectricThe insulating material between the plates of the capacitor. The material is chosen for its ability to permit electrostatic attraction and repulsion to take place across it. The material will have the property that energy required to establish an electric field is recoverable in whole or in part, as electric energy. In other words, a good dielectric material is a poor conductor of electricity while being an effective supporter of electrostatic fields. aluminium can to provide high dielectricThe insulating material between the plates of the capacitor.

If metallized films are used, self-healing should maintain the capacitor's integrity. (puncture) occurs, usually expressed as a voltage gradient (such as volts per mil). The voltage figure used is the average RMS voltage gradient between two electrodes at the time of failure. in operating conditions from -40C to 85C.
A dual 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. feature system consists of over-pressure disconnect and self-healing technology to provide greater component reliability. The FLB series exhibits high over-voltage capabilities and rather than catastrophic failure, the component will experience a parametric loss of capacitanceThat property of a system of conductors and dielectrics which permits the storage of electricity when potential difference exists between the conductors. Its value is expressed as the ratio of a quantity of electricity to a potential difference. A capacitance value is always positive. of around 5%. The FLB series is available in nine different case sizes, three capacitanceThat property of a system of conductors and dielectrics which permits the storage of electricity when potential difference exists between the conductors. Its value is expressed as the ratio of a quantity of electricity to a potential difference. A capacitance value is always positive. tolerances (±5%, ±10%, ±20%) and six voltage ranges.
The components suit applications utilising power factor correction and output AC filtering for power converters, such as UPS systems, solar and wind inverters and motor drives.
