Switching Capacitors
Description
The 41L series are high performance metalized polypropylene, axial leaded capacitors
specifically suited for demanding electronic applications. Applications for this series of
capacitors include electronic ballasts, industrial controls, motor running, brushless motor
speed control, switch mode power supplies (SMPS), un-interruptable power supply systems
and induction ovens. These capacitors are designed for minimum series inductance (ESL)
and very low series resistance (ESR) to minimize power dissipation and provide an extremely
reliable product with excellent performance characteristics.
