Safety-Certified Industrial-Grade Capacitors

KEMET’s capacitors are an ideal solution for suppressing line disturbances at the source

Image of KEMET's Safety Certified Industrial Grade CapacitorsKEMET’s CAS surface-mount safety-certified capacitors are specifically designed for interference-suppression AC line filtering applications. When comparing to radial leaded disc capacitors, the CAS surface-mount form factors provide engineers the ability to miniaturize their designs with a higher density solution. With 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.

With a working voltage of 250 VAC in line-to-line (Class X) and 250 VAC in line-to-ground (Class Y) applications, these safety capacitors meet the impulse test criteria outlined in IEC Standard 60384. Meeting subclass X1 and Y2 requirements, these devices are certified to withstand impulses up to 5 kV (X1/Y2) and 2.5 kV (X2) respectively.
