TDK Corporation has a series of rugged EPCOS MKP X2 capacitors for EMI suppression. These new components provide a higher 350VAC rated voltage compared to traditional X2 capacitors designed for a 305V AC rated voltage. For example, this makes it suitable for EMI suppression of input filters (especially for applications in the North American market) and output filters for photovoltaic inverters.
The capacitance range is extended from 0.47µF to 10µF according to the E12 series. The new capacitors have stable capacitance characteristics even under harsh environmental conditions.
