Safety Capacitor X2 0.22uF 275V P10

Product Overview

The Safety Capacitor X2 0.22uF 275V P10 is a metallized film capacitor designed for electromagnetic interference (EMI) suppression in across-the-line applications. Rated at 0.22 microfarads with a 275V AC working voltage and a 10mm lead pitch, this X2 class component provides dependable filtering performance in mains-powered circuits.

Key Specifications

This capacitor carries an X2 safety classification, meaning it is certified for use in positions where failure would not create a risk of electric shock but could present a fire hazard, making it suitable for direct connection between line and neutral. The 0.22uF capacitance value delivers effective attenuation of high-frequency noise, while the 275V AC rating ensures safe operation on standard mains supplies. The P10 designation indicates a 10mm pin pitch, compatible with standard through-hole PCB layouts.

Applications

Safety capacitors of this type are widely used in switch-mode power supplies, LED drivers, battery chargers, appliance controllers, and other mains-connected equipment. Typical uses include line-to-neutral EMI filtering, antenna coupling, and transient noise suppression in consumer and industrial electronics.

Why Choose This Component

Built with self-healing metallized film construction, this X2 capacitor offers stable capacitance over time, robust performance under continuous AC stress, and compliance with international safety standards. It is an essential component for any design that interfaces directly with the mains and must meet EMC and safety regulations.
