Safety Capacitor X2 0.001uF 275V P10

X2 Safety Capacitor – 0.001uF 275VAC

This X2 class safety capacitor is a metallized film capacitor engineered for direct connection across AC mains lines. With a capacitance of 0.001uF (1nF) and a rated voltage of 275VAC, it provides dependable suppression of electromagnetic interference (EMI) in power supply and mains-connected circuits. The P10 designation indicates a 10mm lead pitch, making it well suited for standard through-hole PCB layouts.

Why Choose an X2 Safety Capacitor

X2 capacitors are self-healing metallized polypropylene film capacitors certified to international safety standards such as IEC 60384-14 and UL 1283. Unlike ordinary capacitors, X2 safety capacitors are specifically designed to fail safely under overvoltage conditions, protecting against fire and electric shock hazards. Their robust construction ensures stable capacitance and performance even in electrically noisy environments subject to surges and voltage spikes.
