General Purpose, Pulse and DC Transient Suppression
A72 Series Polypropylene Film/Foil, Axial
Overview
Applications
The A72 Series is a capacitor with polypropylene film and metal
foil or metallized film and metal foil electrodes. The capacitor
is encapsulated in self-extinguishing resin in a box of material
meeting the requirements of UL 94 V–0 and protected with
polyester tape wrapping and thermosetting resin end fill.
Typical applications include switching spikes suppression and
resonant capacitors in switched mode power supply (SMPS), and
deflection circuits in televisions (S-correction and flyback tuning)
as well as applications with high voltage and high current.
