Additional Information
The 3MP series is designed to handle high RMS currents for today’s high energy AC filtering applications.
This series has a robust integrated flange for versatile mounting positions along with male and female
terminal options . It’s most unique feature is that it has been outfitted to accept a thermal sensing device
located at the capacitor hot spot. A normally closed thermal cut-out (TCO) is potted in the geometric
center of the device. As the capacitor reaches critical temperatures the TCO opens and a user defined
circuit will trigger the appropriate action. The capacitor can also accept other sensing technology per
customer specification.

Marking And Date Code
All capacitors are marked with company initials "EC", corporate logo or ECtrademark — in addition to type 3MP,
capacitance, tolerance, rated DC working voltage and date code. The first two digits of the date code represent
the year, the second two digits the week, i.e., 0952 is the 52nd week of 2009, 0902 is the second week of 2009.
Quality Assurance
Major emphasis is placed on quality assurance. EC is an ISO9001-2000 and AS9100:2004 Certified Company.
Raw material inspection and the use of SPC manufacturing procedures assure the highest quality standards.
Procedures are fully described in the EC Quality Control Manual. Electronic Concepts will continue to advance
the state-of-the-art by utilizing leading edge technology, compact capacitor designs and establishing reliability
procedures.
