KEMET Paper Capacitor X2 33nF 275V AC 275V DC Through Hole PME271

The KEMET PME271M533MR30 Paper Capacitor is a high-quality electronic passive component designed for electromagnetic interference (EMI) suppression and mains filtering. With a capacitance of 33nF and an X2 suppression class, it is specifically intended for reliable operation in AC circuits up to 275V AC, as well as DC applications up to 275V DC. Its metallised paper construction offers outstanding safety characteristics, meeting stringent international standards for both active and passive flammability.

This capacitor features a through hole mounting configuration with a 15.2mm lead pitch, making it easy to insert and secure into printed circuit boards during production processes. The body dimensions are 18.5mm in length, 12.5mm in height, and 6mm in depth, enabling compact integration into a wide variety of electronic equipment. Its robust encapsulation meets UL94-0 standards, adding an extra level of flame-retardant protection for applications where safety is paramount.

Engineered with self-healing properties, the PME271M533MR30 offers longevity and consistent performance, even in environments subject to frequent voltage surges or over voltages. The capacitor operates effectively within a wide temperature range, up to a maximum of 110°C, ensuring durability in challenging industrial, commercial, and household applications. The lead diameter of 0.8mm helps maintain structural and electrical integrity during PCB assembly.

Compliant with EN, UL, CAN, IEC, and CSA approvals, this capacitor meets key international requirements for EMI suppression, making it suitable for use across various global projects. The X2 classification ensures safe usage directly across the mains supply, though users must avoid installation in positions where capacitor failure could expose individuals to electric shock. The 2-pin configuration is standard for such suppression capacitors.

Typical industrial use cases include power supplies, lighting ballasts, motor drives, AC line filters, HVAC controls, and a large array of electronic appliances and instruments requiring reliable suppression of electrical noise and protection against surges. Laboratories and manufacturers can rely on this KEMET capacitor for high-volume PCB production where stringent safety and performance standards must be met.
