ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS

Medium Power Film Capacitors

FFV3 General Description

The series uses a non-impregnated metallized polypropylene

or polyester dielectric, with the controlled self-healing process,

specially treated to have a very high dielectric strength in oper-

ating conditions up to 105°C.

The FFV3 has been designed for printed circuit board mounting.

DC FILTERING

APPLICATIONS

The FFV3 capacitors are particularly designed for DC filter-

ing, low reactive power.

PACKAGING

Self-extinguishing plastic case (V0 = in accordance with UL 94)

filled thermosetting resin.

Self-extinguishing thermosetting resin (V0 = in accordance with

UL 94; I3F2 = in accordance with NF F 16-101).

LIFETIME EXPECTANCY

One unique feature of this technology (as opposed to elec-

trolytics) is how the capacitor reacts at the end of its lifetime.

Whereas, with an electrolytic, there is a strong risk of explo-

sion of the case. However, with our line of film capacitors, the

capacitor will simply experience at the end of life a loss of

capacitance of about 2%, with no risk of explosion.

Please note that this is theoretical, however, as the capacitor

continues to be functional even after this 2% decrease.
