KEMET PME271 Paper Capacitor X2 47nF 275V AC 275V DC Through Hole

The KEMET PME271M547MR30 Paper Capacitor is a highly reliable, X2-class suppressor capacitor designed for demanding electronic applications. It features a metallised paper construction to ensure the highest possible safety against both active and passive flammability. This property makes it especially suitable for environments where electrical safety is paramount.

With a capacitance of 47nF and rated voltages of 275V AC and 275V DC, this capacitor is ideal for connecting directly across mains supplies and other electronic circuits requiring consistent filtering and suppression. Its through hole design and a lead pitch of 15.2 mm facilitate easy PCB integration, enabling secure and stable mounting for commercial and industrial projects.

The PME271 series capacitor supports a maximum operating temperature of 110°C, ensuring durability under continuous or high-load operation. Its suppression class X2 rating is specifically engineered for safety against electrical surges and transient events, reducing the risk of circuit failures and improving overall equipment reliability.

The device is encapsulated to meet UL94-0 fire safety requirements and is certified under CAN, IEC, EN, UL, and CSA standards, reflecting global compliance and acceptance. Additional certifications such as EN132400, SEMKO, NEMKO, DEMKO, FIMKO, VDE, SEV, OVE, IMQ, and UL further reinforce its suitability for regulated environments.

High dV/dt and self-healing properties help to ensure a long operational lifespan even when subjected to frequent voltage fluctuations and overvoltages. The capacitor's robust construction and dual voltage rating make it a particularly versatile choice for industrial, laboratory, consumer, and commercial electronics applications including power supply filtering, EMI suppression, and mains circuit design.

Practical dimensions of 18.5 mm length, 12.5 mm height, and 6 mm depth make it suitable for compact designs, while its lead diameter of 0.8 mm allows for reliable electrical connectivity. The inclusion of two leads and pin count further ensures straightforward installation.
