Capacitors for Power Electronics
FFLI (RoHS Compliant)
USUAL APPLICATIONS
DC FILTERING
The FFLI capacitor is specifically designed for DC filtering,
PACKAGING MATERIAL
Aluminium cylindrical case filled thermosetting resin.
Self extinguishing thermosetting resin (V0 : in accordance
with UL 94 ; M2F1 : in accordance with NF F 16-101).
Self extinguishing plastic cover (V0 : in accordance with UL 94)
ROHS components
LIFETIME EXPECTANCY
One unique feature of this technology (as opposed to elec-
trolytics) is how the capacitor reacts at the end of its lifetime.
Whereas with an electrolytic there is a strong risk of explosion
of the case. However with our line of film capacitors, the
capacitor will simply experience at the end of life a loss of
capacitance of about 5%, with no risk of explosion.
Please note that this is theoretical, however, as the capacitor
continues to be functional even after this 5% decrease.
Expected life time for FFLI range:
100 000 Hrs / U
