Polypropylene Film Capacitors
High Performance, ORANGE DROP

Type 716P ORANGE DROP
®
is a high performance version of the popular Type
715P. It is made from polypropylene and foil with copper leads for the ultimate
in high pulse current and high rms current capability. It is a pressed unit for better
utilization of board space.
The 200 V, 400 V and 600 V ratings are single section, extended foil units
allowing for high frequency, high current applications. The 800 V, 1200 V and
1600 V ratings are series-wound extended foil with a floating metalized common
foil which provides self-healing characteristics in addition to high frequency,
high current capabilities.
Capacitance change with temperature is less than 3% over the entire operating
temperature range. The temperature coefficient is negative and virtually linear
at 180PPM/°C over the temperature range of + 25°C to
+ 105°C. This characteristic means the Type 716P is suitable for matching with
positive TC resistors and inductors to maintain circuit stability.

capacitors are conformally coated with a flame
retardant epoxy.
PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
Operating Temperature:
- 55°C to + 85°C, standard;
+ 105°C provided working voltage is reduced to 50% of
+ 85°C rating.
Insulation Resistance:
After a 2 minute charge at rated
voltage or 500 V, whichever is less.
At + 25°C: 400,000 Megohm for C
≤
.5 Microfarads.
200,000 Megohm - Microfarads for C > .5 Microfarads.
At + 85°C: 20,000 Megohm for C
≤
.5 Microfarads.
10,000 Megohm - Microfarads for C > .5 Microfarads.
At + 105°C: 2000 Megohm for C
≤
.5 Microfarads.
1000 Megohm - Microfarads for C > .5 Microfarads.
Capacitance, Tolerance and Dissipation Factor:
Capacitors shall be measured at a frequency of 1000Hz
@ + 25°C or else be referred to measurements made at
that frequency and temperature. The maximum dissipation
factor is 0.1%.
Dielectric Withstanding Voltage:
Capacitors rated below
1000 volts shall withstand a DC potential of 250% of rated
voltage applied between terminals for not more than
5 seconds.
Capacitors rated 1000 volts and above shall withstand a
DC potential of 200% of rated voltage applied between the
terminals for not more than 5 seconds. The test voltage
must be applied and discharged through a resistor of 1 ohm
per volt.
Humidity Test:
Condition capacitors with no voltage
applied for 72 hours @ 95% relative humidity and + 75°C.
Remove capacitors from humidity chamber, wipe surface
dry of moisture and dry in circulating air for 4 hours.
Measure insulation resistance after a 2 minute charge
@ + 25°C and rated voltage or 500 VDC, whichever is less.
Minimum product of insulation resistance and capacitance
shall be 50,000 Megohm - Microfarads after test but need
not exceed 100,000 Megohm. Not more than one failure
in 12 units tested shall be permitted.
DC Life Test:
Capacitors are capable of withstanding a
500 hour life test @ + 85°C @ 150% of rated working
voltage. After test, capacitance shall not have changed by
more than 5% of initial value, insulation resistance shall not
have decreased by more than 50% of the initial limit and
dissipation factor shall not have increased to more than 0.1%.
AC Life Test:
Capacitors shall withstand the maximum
60Hz voltage for a period of 500 hours @ + 85°C.
