FFV3 General Description
DC FILTERING
The series uses a non-impregnated metallized polypropylene
or polyester dielectric, with the controlled self-healing process,
specially treated to have a very high dielectric strength in oper-
ating conditions up to 105°C.
The FFV3 has been designed for printed circuit board mounting.

LIFETIME EXPECTANCY
One unique feature of this technology (as opposed to elec-
trolytics) is how the capacitor reacts at the end of its lifetime.
Whereas, with an electrolytic, there is a strong risk of explo-
sion of the case. However, with our line of film capacitors, the
capacitor will simply experience at the end of life a loss of
capacitance of about 2%, with no risk of explosion.
Please note that this is theoretical, however, as the capacitor
continues to be functional even after this 2% decrease.
