KEMET PME271M Safety Capacitor, Metallized Paper, X2, 0.022µF ±20%, 275VAC, 18.

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

As an X2-class suppression capacitor, it is approved for use across the line (line-to-line) in electrical circuits. It features excellent self-healing properties and a high dV/dt capability, ensuring long-term stability and reliability even under demanding electrical conditions. The component is fully RoHS compliant and utilises lead-free terminations, aligning with modern environmental and manufacturing standards.

This specific model provides a capacitance of 0.022µF with a tolerance of ±20%, and is rated for 275VAC at 50/60 Hz. Its construction allows it to operate across an extensive temperature range from -40°C to +110°C, making it suitable for use in variable and harsh environments. The capacitor is supplied on tape and reel packaging in accordance with IEC 60286-2, facilitating efficient automated assembly processes.

With key approvals including ENEC, UL, and cUL, this capacitor meets stringent international safety and performance criteria. Its combination of metallized paper dielectric, robust housing, and reliable electrical characteristics makes it a trusted choice for engineers seeking effective EMI filtering solutions.
