Axial Metallized Polyester and Polypropylene Film Capacitors for AC and DC Circuits

Axial film capacitors using metallized polyester and metallized polypropylene dielectric materials are applied in AC and DC circuits requiring stable capacitance and low loss characteristics.
Different body styles, including cycloidal and oval forms, provide mechanical options for through-hole assembly and point-to-point wiring.

Dielectric Material Characteristics

Metallized polyester film capacitors are typically used for general-purpose coupling and filtering,
while metallized polypropylene film capacitors provide lower dielectric loss and improved performance in frequency-sensitive circuits.
Both dielectric types support stable operation across a wide temperature range.

• Metallized polyester for general-purpose applications
• Metallized polypropylene for low-loss performance
• Stable capacitance over operating temperature
• Suitable for AC and DC circuit use

Mechanical Body Styles

Cycloidal and oval body structures allow selection based on mechanical space and mounting orientation.
Axial lead configuration supports flexible placement in traditional through-hole designs.

• Cycloidal body style
• Oval body style
• Axial lead configuration for through-hole mounting
• Temperature capability up to 105°C

Applications

• Measurement and instrumentation equipment
• AC and DC circuits in household appliances
• Audio frequency circuits
• Coupling and filtering networks

Design Considerations

• Select dielectric based on loss and frequency requirements
• Verify temperature rating for operating environment
• Consider body style for mechanical fit
• Ensure voltage rating matches circuit conditions
