Vishay Safety Capacitor, Metallized PP, X2, 2.2µF, 310VAC, 27.5mm Lead Spacing

The Vishay BFC233922225 is a high-performance radial film capacitor engineered for interference suppression. As part of the MKP339 X2 series, this component is crucial for protecting electrical circuits by suppressing transients and reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI). Its construction utilises a polypropylene film dielectric paired with metallised film electrodes, which delivers excellent electrical characteristics including very low losses and a high self-healing capability, ensuring both efficiency and long operational life.

This safety capacitor is specifically designed for direct connection across the mains input of appliances. It provides robust protection where short-duration, high-voltage pulses up to 2.5kV may be encountered, helping to reduce harmful emissions and improve a device's immunity to radio frequency interference. The mono-construction and tinned copper wire leads ensure reliable electrical connections and mechanical stability.
