The capacitors packed in bandoliers are designed for mounting in printed-circuit boards by means of automatic insertion machines. For detailed tape specifications refer to packaging information: www.vishay.com/doc?28139 ## **Specific Method of Mounting to Withstand Vibration and Shock** In order to withstand vibration and shock tests, it must be ensured that the stand-off pips are in good contact with the printed-circuit board: - For pitches  15 mm capacitors shall be mechanically fixed by the leads - For longer pitches the capacitors shall be mounted in the same way and the body clamped ## **Space Requirements on Printed Circuit Board** The maximum space for length (Imax.), width (wmax.) and height (hmax. ) of film capacitors to take in account on the printed circuit board is shown in the drawings. - For products with pitch  15 mm,  w =  l = 0.3 mm;  h = 0.1 mm - For products with 15 mm < pitch  27.5 mm,  w =  l = 0.5 mm;  h = 0.1 mm - For products with 15 mm < pitch  37.5 mm,  w =  l = 0.7 mm;  h = 0.5 mm - For products with 15 mm < pitch  52.5 mm,  w =  l = 1.0 mm;  h = 0.5 mm Eccentricity defined as in drawing. The maximum eccentricity is smaller than or equal to the lead diameter of the product concerned. **==> picture [236 x 124] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

Insulation resistance as a function of ambient temperature ## **APPLICATION NOTES** - For X2 electromagnetics interference suppression in **standard across the line applications** (50 Hz / 60 Hz) with a maximum mains voltage of 300 VAC - For series impedance applications we refer to application note www.vishay.com/doc?28153 - For capacitors connected in parallel, normally the proof voltage and possibly the rated voltage must be reduced. For information depending of the capacitance value and the number of parallel connections contact: rfi@vishay.com - These capacitors are not intended for continuous pulse applications. For these situations, capacitors of the AC and pulse programs must be used - The maximum ambient temperature must not exceed 105 °C - Rated voltage pulse slope: if the pulse voltage is lower than the rated voltage, the values of the specific reference data can be multiplied by 435 VDC and divided by the applied voltage ## **INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS** ## **General Notes** Sub-clause numbers of tests and performance requirements refer to the “Sectional Specification, Publication IEC 60384-14 ed-4 (2013) and Specific Reference Data.” |**GROUP C INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS**|**GROUP C INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS**|**GROUP C INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS**| |---|---|---| |**SUB-CLAUSE NUMBER AND TEST**|**CONDITIONS**|**PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS**| |**SUB-GROUP C1A PART OF SAMPLE OF**
