Low Voltage Transient Suppression
F5A Series Metallized Polyester Film
with Integrated Ceramic Varistor, 18 – 63 VDC
Overview
The F5A Series is a metallized polyester (MKT) film capacitor
with integrated ceramic varistor encapsulated in a thermosetting
resin-filled plastic box with tinned wire leads. Box material is
solvent resistant and flame retardant meeting the requirements of
UL 94 V–0.
Applications
Typical applications include worldwide use as EMI/RFI and
transient voltage suppressors for automotive motors and other
suppression applications. These include engine blower fans,
central locking systems, heating/air-conditioning blowers,
electric sun roofs, electric window regulators, fuel/oil pumps,
electric windshield wipers and electrically operated seats. This
through-hole EMI/RFI suppression element is mainly used for
automotive applications without a printed circuit board, e.g.,
motor suppression or mixed through-hole and surface mount
printed circuit boards.
