Features & Benefits
-
Stable Performance in Harsh Environments
The metallized polypropylene dielectric ensures minimal drift and stable capacitance even under varying temperature and load conditions. -
Compact & Rugged Construction
Built in a sealed metal “can” package with vacuum impregnation, this capacitor is protected from environmental contaminants, moisture, and mechanical stress. -
Low Loss & High Efficiency
A low dissipation factor helps reduce internal heating, improving longevity and lowering energy losses in continuous operation. -
High Reliability for Lighting Ballasts
Specifically tailored for HID lighting circuits, it is optimized to operate with ballast loads in demanding lighting systems. -
Wide Temperature Tolerance
Able to operate reliably from –40 °C up to +90 °C, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations. -
Precision Tolerance
Tight ±3% tolerance allows for predictable circuit behavior and minimal “oversizing” in designs.
Typical Use Cases & Applications
- Integration into HID lighting ballast assemblies for mercury vapor, metal halide, or high-pressure sodium lamps.
- Use as a replacement or upgrade capacitor in legacy or industrial lighting systems.
- Applications requiring a motor-run style film capacitor with high reliability, stable performance, and long life under continuous AC operation.
