Capacitors for Power Electronics

FFLI (RoHS Compliant)

USUAL APPLICATIONS

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:
