This document describes the features and characteristics of the 131P capacitors from Vishay Sprague, including suggested replacement for Type 196P, moderate cost, small size, high peak current ratings, high corona starting voltage, etc.
This document provides technical specifications for the Vishay Type 131P Film Snubber Capacitor. These are metal-case, paper/polyester dielectric components with extended foil electrodes designed as a suggested replacement for the Type 196P.
Key performance characteristics include an operating temperature range of -65°C to +125°C and capacitance ratings from 0.01µF to 0.47µF. The capacitors are available with voltage ratings of 600 WVDC or 1000 WVDC and tolerances ranging from ±20% down to ±2%. Physical dimensions vary based on capacitance, with case diameters starting at .312 inches.
