TDK B32021 Series Safety Capacitor, Metallized PP, 1000pF, Y2, 300VAC

The TDK B32021 Series Safety Capacitor is a high-reliability component designed for critical applications requiring interference suppression and safety protection. Constructed with a metallized polypropylene (PP) dielectric, it offers excellent electrical characteristics, including low dielectric losses and high insulation resistance. This radial, through-hole mount capacitor is classified as a Y2 safety capacitor, making it essential for bridging across isolation boundaries in power supplies and electronic equipment to mitigate electromagnetic interference (EMI).

With a nominal capacitance of 1000 picofarads (pF) and a tolerance of ±20%, it provides consistent performance for filtering and noise suppression. It is rated for a continuous AC voltage of 300V across the Y line, ensuring safe operation in mains-connected circuits. The component features a robust dv/dt rating of 800V/µs, allowing it to withstand rapid voltage transients commonly encountered in switching applications.

Housed in a compact radial box with a 10mm lead spacing, it is easy to integrate onto printed circuit boards (PCBs). The capacitor operates reliably across a wide temperature range from -40°C to +110°C, making it suitable for use in demanding environmental conditions. Its construction ensures long-term stability and durability, providing dependable protection for both equipment and end-users by preventing hazardous voltages and reducing electrical noise.

This capacitor is a fundamental component for enhancing the safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of a wide range of electronic devices, ensuring compliance with international safety standards.
