Frequently Asked Questions
What specific electronic circuits are these capacitors designed to support?
They are suitable for oscillator, timing and LC/RC filter circuits, high frequency coupling/decoupling, sample, and hold circuits.
Is the capacitor environmentally compliant with current standards?
Yes, the product is completely lead (Pb)-free and RoHS-compliant.
How does operating temperature affect the usable AC voltage?
If operating at +100°C, the rated voltage (U) must be derated to 0.7 times its nominal value.
