KEMET Paper Capacitor X2 68nF 275V AC 275V DC Through Hole PME271 Series

KEMET PME271M568MR30 is a metallised paper X2-class capacitor, engineered for reliable mains-connected circuit suppression. Featuring a 68nF capacitance, this device is optimized for EMI filtering and line-to-neutral interference reduction in industrial, commercial, and electronic designs. Its dual voltage rating of 275V AC and 275V DC enables flexible deployment in power supplies, motor drives, HVAC systems, and appliances.

The PME271 series delivers high safety and performance, achieved through robust paper dielectric construction that provides both active and passive flammability protection. Self-healing properties enable the capacitor to withstand frequent over voltages without significant degradation, extending operational service life in harsh electrical environments.

Installation is straightforward, thanks to through hole configuration and a lead pitch of 15.2mm, making it compatible with standard PCB layouts. Lead diameter is 0.8mm, supporting secure mechanical fixation during soldering. Compact dimensions of 18.5mm length, 13.5mm height, and 7.8mm depth allow integration into space-limited electronic assemblies.

Maximum operating temperature is 110°C, ensuring stable performance under elevated ambient conditions. The capacitor's encapsulation meets UL94-0 requirements, contributing to fire safety and helping to minimize potential hazards during electrical faults. Pin count is 2, simplifying circuit design and assembly.

Adherence to international standards IEC, EN, CAN, CSA, and UL ensures suitability for global applications and project compliance. Suppression class X2 rating guarantees capability for mains filter roles, while comprehensive approvals (EN132400, SEMKO, NEMKO, DEMKO, FIMKO, VDE, SEV, OVE, IMQ, UL) reinforce acceptance in regulated industries.
