The RA style capacitor is constructed in an efficient rugged self-

encased size. The non-inductive multilayer metallized polyester film

capacitor features a small size, high dv/dt capability, very low ESR

at high frequency and a self-healing capability. RA type capacitors

are ideal for use in high frequency switching power supplies, noise

suppression, EMI reduction and long-life applications.

Highlights

- Efficient size

- Self healing

- Low ESR/ESL

- High dv/dt

- Wave solderable
