Safety-Rated Industrial-Grade Disc Capacitors - C700 Series

KEMET’s C700 safety-rated disc capacitors are specifically designed for interference suppression AC line filtering applications. Having internationally recognized safety certifications, these capacitors are well-suited for applications that require keeping potentially disruptive or damaging line transients and EMI out of susceptible equipment. They are also an ideal solution when needing to suppress line disturbances at the source.

Safety-certified capacitors are classified as either X or Y capacitors. Class X capacitors are primarily used in line-to-line (across-the-line) applications. In this application, there is no danger of electric shock to humans should the capacitor fail but could result in a risk of fire. The Class Y capacitor is primarily used in line-to-ground (line-by-pass) applications. In this application, failure of the capacitor could lead to a risk of electric shock.

These safety capacitors meet the impulse test criteria outlined in IEC standard 60384. These devices meet subclass X1 and Y1/Y2 requirements and the flame test requirements outlined in UL Standard 94 V-0.
