BCcomponents Product specification
Ceramic disc capacitors Safety, Class X1; Y2, 250 V (AC)
series DN
FEATURES
•Complying with “EN 132 400” and
“IEC 60384-14, 2nd edition,
including amendment 1.1995”
•High reliability
•Kinked (preferred) or straight leads.
APPLICATIONS
•Across-the-line
•Line by-pass
•Antenna coupling.
DESCRIPTION
The capacitors consist of a ceramic
disc both sides of which are
silver-plated. Connection leads are
made of tinned copper having a
diameter of 0.6 mm or 0.8 mm.
The capacitors may be supplied with
kinked or straight leads having a lead
spacing of 7.5 mm (0.300") or 10 mm
(0.400") and a lead length from
4 to 30 mm. The standard tolerance on
capacitance is ±10% for Y5P material
and ±20% for Z5U material.
Encapsulation is made of flammable
resistant epoxy resin in accordance
with “UL94V-0”.
