KEMET Polypropylene Capacitor 4.7 nF 3 kV DC 180 V AC Through Hole ±5% Tape & Reel PHE450

The KEMET PHE450XB4470JB14R17 is a high-voltage polypropylene film capacitor designed for use in pulse, snubber, and high-current stress protection circuits. With a capacitance of 4.7 nF and a tolerance of ±5%, this device is particularly well-suited for precision timing, filtering, and energy management functions in professional and industrial electronic designs.

This capacitor utilizes a double metallized polypropylene film structure and is encapsulated in a self-extinguishing box resin, providing enhanced safety and meeting UL 94 V-0 requirements for flame resistance. Its robust build allows reliable operation across a voltage range up to 3 kV DC or 180 V AC, making it suitable for power supplies, switching circuits, and other demanding environments where impulse or surge resistance is essential.

Ease of integration is delivered through its through-hole, radial configuration featuring a 15 mm lead pitch and 17 mm lead length. The device's compact dimensions (18 mm length, 9.5 mm width, 17.5 mm height) enable efficient fitment in space-constrained assemblies. Low dissipation factor (0.0003%) means the capacitor has minimal energy loss, ideal for high-efficiency electronics where low heat generation is critical.

With operating temperature capabilities from -55°C to 105°C, the PHE450XB4470JB14R17 provides reliable performance over a wide environmental range, including industrial, laboratory, and commercial settings. The pulse-rated performance and snubber suitability make it valuable in TV deflection circuits, switch mode power supplies, and other sensitive electronics requiring stable, long-lasting capacitor solutions.

Tape & reel packaging enables the PHE450XB4470JB14R17 to be integrated into automated component placement systems, improving manufacturing throughput and consistency. Radial terminals provide secure PCB mounting, while RoHS compliance guarantees environmental responsibility.

Typical applications include industrial electronics, power conversion, motor drives, snubber circuits, and filtering tasks in both manufacturing and laboratory contexts. KEMET's reputation for high-quality passive components ensures durability and low service requirements.
