RFI capacitors

Radio interference suppression capacitors must not only satisfy EMC requirements in suppressing outgoing interference from an application but they must also protect the application from incoming power surges. Hence careful selection of these components is essential.

The special feature of WIMA Polypropylene RFI capacitors are the high capacitance values at small case sizes, being available up to 10 µF with AC voltages of 300 VAC, 305 VAC and 440 VAC for class X1, X2 and Y2. Based on the dielectric used they are highly cost-effective. The low attenuation construction results in a high degree of interference suppression with low ESR.

WIMA metallized film RFI capacitors exhibit a safe regeneration behaviour and reliably heal in case of a breakdown (self-healing).

Class X capacitors are connected between phase and neutral or phase and phase conductors. Class Y capacitors have an increased degree of electrical and mechanical safety and are connected, for example, between phase conductors and earthed casing, and thus by-pass operating insulation.

WIMA RFI capacitors are approved according to IEC 60384-14/4, UL 60384-14 respective CAN/CSA-E60384-14 and CQC11-471115-2016.

The specified rated AC voltage takes into account a rise of the mains voltage of up to 10% above the nominal value, in accordance with IEC 60384-14.
