This document describes the applications and specifications of Vishay BCcomponents' KP/MKP series AC and pulse metallized polypropylene film capacitors. These capacitors are used in high current and steep pulse situations, primarily in deflection circuits in television sets. Features include a pitch range of 10mm to 27.5mm, flame retardant epoxy encapsulation, and RoHS compliance. The capacitance range is from 0.1nF to 270nF, with a tolerance of ±5% or ±3.5%. The rated temperature is 85°C, with a maximum application temperature of 105°C.
The KP/MKP 375 series are radial lacquered metallized polypropylene film capacitors designed for high‑current, steep‑pulse applications such as television deflection circuits. They are offered in various voltage ratings and capacitance values ranging from 0.1 nF to 270 nF.
The document lists detailed electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, packaging options (loose in box, lock‑lead, taped on reel), and extensive inspection and test procedures required for compliance with IEC 60384‑17. RoHS compliance and flame‑retardant epoxy encapsulation are also noted.
