VISHAY MKT468 Series Film Capacitor, Metallised PET, 10 µF, 100 VDC, Radial

The VISHAY MKT468 Series Film Capacitor is a premium, general-purpose component engineered for reliability and stable performance in demanding electronic circuits. Featuring a robust radial lacquered construction with a polyester film (PET) dielectric and metallised electrodes, this capacitor offers excellent electrical characteristics including low losses, high efficiency, and a long operational lifespan. Its primary function is to assist in efficient energy conversion while maintaining circuit integrity.

Encapsulated within a plastic case sealed with UL94V-0 flame-retardant epoxy resin, this capacitor provides enhanced safety by resisting ignition and preventing flame spread. This makes it a dependable choice for applications where component safety is paramount. The component is also AEC-Q200 qualified, confirming its suitability for use in automotive and other high-reliability industrial environments where rigorous performance standards must be met.

Supplied with durable tinned wire leads in a through-hole, radial mounting style, it ensures secure and straightforward installation on printed circuit boards (PCBs). The mono construction contributes to consistent performance and durability. With a generous operating temperature range from -55°C to 100°C and a humidity rating of GRADE II, it performs reliably under a wide variety of environmental conditions.
