Additional Details

The PHE840 series capacitors are designed to operate reliably under continuous AC stress and are capable of withstanding voltage transients. The self-healing property ensures long-term reliability by clearing minor dielectric breakdowns. The UL 94 V-0 flammability rating of the plastic case ensures a high level of safety, preventing fire spread in the event of component failure. The 275VAC voltage rating is suitable for a wide range of applications, including power supplies, household appliances, and lighting ballasts. The design minimizes inductance and equivalent series resistance (ESR), contributing to efficient high-frequency noise filtering. The resin filling protects the internal components from moisture and other environmental factors, further enhancing the capacitor's robustness. The PHE840MB6150MB10R17T is an excellent choice for applications requiring reliable interference suppression and long-term performance in demanding environments.
