VISHAY MKP336 2 Series Safety Capacitor, Metallized PP, 0.022 µF, X2

The VISHAY MKP336 2 Series Safety Capacitor is a premium component designed for reliable electromagnetic interference (EMI) suppression and power safety applications. It utilises a metallised polypropylene (PP) dielectric, known for its excellent self-healing properties, high insulation resistance, and stable electrical characteristics over a wide temperature range.

Classified as an X2 suppression capacitor, it is specifically engineered for use across-the-line in applications where failure of the capacitor must not create a risk of electric shock. This makes it a critical safety component in AC power supplies, where it helps to protect equipment and comply with international safety standards. Its robust construction ensures stable performance under demanding conditions.

Housed in a radial box with two pins for through-hole mounting, it features a 10mm lead spacing for easy installation on printed circuit boards. The capacitor is rated for a nominal AC voltage of 310V and can handle high dv/dt ratings of up to 600V/µs, making it suitable for circuits with fast voltage transitions. It is qualified for use in environments with controlled humidity (GRADE II) and operates reliably across an extensive temperature range from -55°C to +110°C.

This capacitor is part of the trusted VISHAY MKP336 2 Series, renowned for its quality and reliability in power electronics. Its compact dimensions (33mm x 43mm x 15mm) and 60g weight make it a practical choice for space-conscious designs without compromising on performance or safety.
