A Safety Capacitor X2 0.1uF 275V is a specific type of film capacitor used in AC power lines for EMI filtering and surge protection, connecting across live and neutral (line-to-line) to suppress interference, rated for 0.1 microfarads, 275V AC, and belonging to the X2 safety class for mains connection. It's essential for power supplies, appliances, and filtering noise, often marked as 104K 275V or similar, with lead spacing (pitch) varying but commonly 15mm or 20mm.
Key Specifications & Meaning:
- X2: Safety Class, meaning it's designed for line-to-line (across the mains) connection, able to withstand significant impulse voltages without failing, preventing fire hazards.
- 0.1uF (or 100nF, 104): The capacitance value (0.1 microfarads or 100 nanofarads).
- 275V (or 275VAC): The maximum AC voltage rating, suitable for 220-240V mains supplies.
- MKP (Metallized Polypropylene Film): The dielectric material, providing stable performance.
- 40/100/21 or similar: Climate class, indicating temperature range (-40°C to +100°C) and humidity performance.
- Pitch (P): The distance between the component's leads (e.g., P=15mm, P=20mm).
Common Applications:
- EMI Filtering: Reduces electromagnetic noise generated by electronic devices, helping them pass certifications.
- Power Supplies: Found in switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) for filtering input noise.
- Appliances: Used in washing machines, power tools, chargers, and LED drivers.
