Type 160
Metallized Polyester Radial Lead Capacitors
Radial Box Metallized Polyester Capacitors
The Type 160 series radial lead metallized polyester box
capacitors are constructed in rugged rectangular plastic
cases with lead spacings that are standard in the electron-
ics industry. All Type 160 capacitors are available in
bulk with a .217” ±.039” lead length, and they are good
for general purpose applications such as bypass, decou-
pling, energy storage/discharge and arc suppression.

If the working voltage (V) is less than the nominal voltage
(Vn), the capacitor can work at higher dv/dt. In this case, the
maximum value allowed is obtained by multiplying the above
value with the ratio Vn/V.
