METALLIZED POLYPROPYLENE RADIAL BOX, TYPE X2
METTALIZED POLYPROPYLENE (OPP), NON-INDUCTIVE,
PLASTIC CASE, INTERFERENCE SUPPRESSORS CLASS X2
INTRODUCTION
THE TYPE MPX CAPACITORS are constructed
with metalized polypropylene film, dielectric, copper
clad steel lead and encapsulated in plastic cases
sealed with epoxy resin. They provide Interference
Suppression with safety recognition of UL, VDE,
CSA and others.
APPLICATION
THE TYPE MPX CAPACITORS are ideal for using
in Line-By-Pass, Antenna coupling, Across-The-
Line and spark killer circuits and available for EMI
filter and switching power supply applications.
FEATURES
• Non-inductive construction.
• Self-healing.
• Flame-retardant plastic case and epoxy resin
(compliance with UL 94V-0).
• High moisture-resistance.
• Good solderability (plated with 100% Matte Sn).

HUMIDITY TEST:
Shall withstand the test of R.H. 90% ~ 95% @ 40°C for 500 hours. After the test, the capacitance drift -5%, IR • 50% of
specified value.
LIFE TEST:
A test voltage of 440VAC shall be applied for 1008 hours at 85°C. 880VAC, 60Hz for a period of 0.1 seconds to be applied
once each hour. After the test, the capacitor must meet the following limits:
A) Capacitance drift - 10% of the initial value.
B) Insulation resistance ³ 50% of specified value.
LEAD PULL TEST:
Shall withstand a steady pull of 4kg applied axially for 10 seconds.
LEAD BEND TEST:
The test consists of attaching a load of 1kg to the capacitor 90° from the direction of lead egress, then 180° in opposite
direction and back to starting point. The lead shall sustain two cycles without breaking.
MARKING:
Must be legible, correct and consist of capacitance, capacitance tolerance, rated voltage, type designation, climatic category,
manufacturer’s trade mark, date code and recognition marks.
