Safety Capacitor X2 0.047uF 275V P15

X2 Safety Capacitor 0.047uF 275V (P15 Pitch)

This X2 class safety capacitor is a metallized film capacitor designed specifically for across-the-line and line-to-neutral applications in mains-powered circuits. With a capacitance of 0.047uF (47nF) and a rated voltage of 275VAC, it provides reliable suppression of electrical noise and transient interference while meeting international safety standards. The P15 designation indicates a 15mm lead pitch, making it suitable for standard through-hole PCB layouts and direct placement on AC input stages.

Construction and Safety Rating

Built to the X2 safety classification under IEC 60384-14, this capacitor is engineered to fail safely in the event of an overvoltage condition or dielectric breakdown. The metallized polypropylene film construction offers self-healing properties, meaning minor dielectric faults are isolated automatically rather than escalating into catastrophic failure. This makes it a trusted choice for applications where direct connection to the mains supply is required and personnel or equipment safety is a priority.

Key Specifications

The capacitor features a capacitance value of 0.047uF, a continuous AC working voltage rating of 275V, and a 15mm pin spacing. Its film dielectric delivers stable capacitance over time, low dissipation factor, and excellent performance across a wide temperature range, ensuring consistent filtering behavior throughout the life of the device.

Typical Applications

Commonly used for EMI and RFI suppression in power supplies, appliance interference filters, surge protection circuits, antenna coupling stages, and mains input filtering in consumer and industrial electronics. It is an ideal component for designers building noise-suppression networks that must comply with EMC and safety regulations.
