An X2 Safety Capacitor 1uF 275V P22 is a metallized film (MKP) capacitor used across AC power lines for noise filtering and surge protection in devices like appliances and chargers, rated for 1 microfarad, 275 volts AC (with a 22.5mm lead pitch), and designed to fail safely (short circuit) to blow a fuse, preventing shock or fire hazards, according to standards for "across-the-line" use.
Key Specifications Explained:
- X2: This safety class indicates it's designed for AC mains (line-to-neutral), not line-to-ground, and can handle voltage surges.
- 1uF (1 Microfarad): The capacitance value, used for filtering interference.
- 275V (275 Volts AC): The maximum continuous AC working voltage.
- P22 (Pitch 22.5mm): The distance between the component's leads, important for PCB mounting.
- MKP: Often seen on these, signifying a Metallized Polypropylene Film capacitor, known for good performance and reliability.
Function:
- Noise Filtering: It provides a low-impedance path for high-frequency interference (EMI/RFI) to bypass to the neutral wire, cleaning up the power signal.
- Safety: If it fails due to a surge, it shorts, causing the fuse to blow, thus protecting users and the device from dangerous voltages.
Common Uses:
You'll find these in power supplies of TVs, chargers, washing machines, and other electronics, often as the first component after the power cord.
