Vishay MKP336 2 X2 Safety Capacitor, 0.47 µF, 310VAC

The Vishay MKP336 2 X2 Safety Capacitor is a high-performance, radial leaded interference suppression capacitor designed for robust and reliable operation in demanding electronic circuits. It features a polypropylene film dielectric paired with metallised film electrodes, a combination that assists in efficient energy conversion while ensuring remarkably low losses, high efficiency, and a long operational lifespan. This specific X2-class capacitor is engineered to provide essential protection in applications where high-voltage pulses up to 2.5kV are anticipated, making it a critical safety component.

Encapsulated within a UL94V-0 flame-retardant epoxy resin sealed plastic case, this capacitor offers superior safety and durability. Its mono construction and tinned wire leads ensure consistent performance and ease of soldering in through-hole mounting applications. With a rated AC voltage of 310VAC at 50 to 60Hz, it is perfectly suited for a wide range of power management and RF communication systems where stable and safe capacitance is required.
