KEMET PME271M Metallized Paper Safety Capacitor, X2 Class, 0.1µF, 275VAC

The KEMET PME271M Series safety capacitor is a high-reliability component designed for electromagnetic interference (EMI) suppression in a wide range of electrical applications. Constructed from multilayer metallized paper and encapsulated in a self-extinguishing material that meets the stringent UL 94 V–0 flammability standard, it offers robust performance and enhanced safety.

This capacitor is specifically rated for X2 class applications, meaning it is approved for use across-the-line (line-to-neutral) in AC mains circuits. It features a capacitance of 0.1µF with a tolerance of ±20% and is rated for a continuous operating voltage of 275V AC at 50/60 Hz. Its construction ensures excellent self-healing properties and a high dV/dt capability, making it resilient to voltage transients and ensuring long-term operational stability.

The component is supplied with lead-free, RoHS-compliant terminations and is packaged on tape and reel in accordance with IEC 60286-2 for compatibility with automated assembly processes. It operates reliably across an extensive temperature range from -40°C to +110°C and is classified under climatic category 40/110/56 (IEC 60068–1), confirming its suitability for demanding environments.

With approvals including ENEC, UL, and cUL, this capacitor meets international safety standards, providing peace of mind for global designs. Its compact radial box design with a 15.2mm lead spacing facilitates easy through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards (PCBs).
