715P10354JD3 Datasheet, PDF (2/15 Pages) List of Unclassifed Manufacturers – Type 715P, Orange Drop, Polypropylene Film/Foil Capacitors

Type 715P, Orange Drop®, Polypropylene Film/Foil Capacitors
General Specifications
The 715P and 716P series are manufactured with polypropylene film and extended foil. Polypropylene has a very
low dissipation factor, low dielectric absorption and exhibits excellent capacitance stability. These characteristics
combined w ith the direct connection of the lead wire to the extended foil electrode makes the 715P and 716P
series ideal for high current, high pulse applications.
The 715P series has a round profile and is available in tolerances as close as ±1%. The 716P series has a pressed
profile and, in addition, is designed with copper leads, thus adding to it's performance in high frequency, high
pulse current applications.
Other specifications are listed below and on the following pages.
Operating Temperature Range:
The standard operating temperature range for
polypropylene f ilm is -55°C to +85°C. T he
715P and 716P may be operated up to +105°C
provided the DC working voltage is reduced
by 50%.
For specific derating of the AC voltage when
operating above +85°C please contact our
design engineering department.
The maximum operating temperature for 715P
and 7 16P polypropylene film capacitors i s
+ 105°C.
Dielectric Withstanding Voltage:
Units rated below 800 VDC shall withstand
a DC potential of 250% of rated voltage applied
between terminals for not more than 5 seconds;
units rated 800 VDC a nd above shall withstand
200% of rated voltage.
Construction:
Units rated 1 00 through 600 VDC are single
section designs constructed of plain polypropylene
film with extended foil. U nits rated 8 00 VDC
and above are series-section designs with extended
foil and incorporate a floating common of
metallized polypropylene. A ll units are non-
inductively wound.
Temperature Coefficient:
The typical temperature coefficient is -180 ppm/°C
over the temperature range of -55°C to +85°C.
Humidity Testing:
Units subjected to 95% relative humidity for 72
hours with no voltage applied at +75°C. After 4
hours of drying minimum product of insulation
resistance and capacitance shall be 50,000 megohm-
microfarads.
DC Voltage Life Test:
Minimum of 500 hours at +85°C at 150% of rated
voltage. After test, capacitance shall not have
changed by more than 3%, insulation resistance shall
not have decreased by more than 25% and dissipation
factor shall not have changed by more than 0.03%.
Measurements made at 1 KHz.
AC Voltage Life Test:
Minimum of 500 hours at +85°C at 60 Hz. AC test
voltage applied at 110% of AC rating. After test,
capacitance shall not have changed by more than 3%,
insulation resistance shall not have decreased by
more than 25%, and dissipation factor shall not have
changed by more than 0.03%. Measurements made
at 1 KHz.
Additional notes on Life Testing:
CDE performs standard 5 00 hour accelerated life tests,
both DC and line frequency AC, to monitor process
control over our wide range of products.
We also perform longer term life testing, typically 2000
hours, during development of most products. I n
addition we do accelerated l ife testing at 10-250 K Hz
for our High Performance AC products. For additional
life test information please contact us.
