EPCOS: Caps up to 45µF New 45 and 30µF capacitors. Iselin, NJ — With its new B3292*E/F series, EPCOS now offers X2 safety class capacitors with capacitances up to 45µF. The components were developed for across-the-line applications at 305VAC and 110°C, and are approved to IEC 60384-14, UL1283 and CSA 22.2 No. 8. The new capacitors make it possible to design EMI filters with a single 45µF capacitor. This design results in a significant reduction in the PC board surface occupied as well as parasitic inductance. Improved noise suppression is achieved in the upper frequency range due to the higher resonant frequencies. Moreover, the reduction of soldering points simplifies testing and improves the reliability of the entire filter. Because of the large capacitance values, the devices are especially suited for filtering applications that require the suppression of high harmonic frequencies. This is the case, for example, in the active front-end topologies of power converters.
